We'd probably appreciate the time and effort , regardless of the sender's political leanings.

I once pissed off an entire line of customers at Hobby Lobby about this war on Christmas. The woman standing behind me as I was checking out felt an urge to compliment the clerk about how it was "safe" to say Merry Christmas in the store.

The clerk just nodded and kept ringing me up (I had a lot of stuff). When it was done, as I paid up, I smiled at the clerk and wished her a Bright Yule. The clerk didn't skip a beat, said "and to you, too". I thought the woman behind me was going to stroke out, because I turned to see her expression. Total look of shock. Several people behind her were laughing.

So, you see, the moral of this story is, nowhere is safe to express your beliefs in a false god who wasn't born in December, when the pagans worshipped and celebrated the return of the sun.

Oh, and Easter had nothing to do with any crucifixion and/or resurrection, it was a fertility holiday because Spring is when the Earth blooms and there are lots of baby animals playing among the flowers. Another moral being that you shouldn't steal holidays from other religions and act like you're so much better, because frankly, your actions tell a different story.

wheelchair bound, so I don't really get into it w/ him very often, but I will if he goes on and on about tRUMP...which he doesn't really do very much anymore.

I don't know if he's slacked off if because it's at his bar that he's giving us the 'tRUMP speech', so he doesn't want to tick off his customers (he's been warned not to engage in such conversations as it does get people stirred up, so he's getting better about it).

You would think knowing how tRUMP feels about the handicapped, but this is how he feels.

And despite his pro-MAGA feelings, he does support the neighborhood that comes into his place by providing food for all of his customers every Sunday. A lot of these people are in their 80s and such, are by themselves, and don't cook much (you know how it is, cooking for one person). At XMAS time, we'll have a big potluck dinner, where everybody brings in something for all of us to eat. So, it's a strong neighborhood bar, a large customer base, where everybody knows your name.

Just because someone is MAGA, don't give up in the two-way conversations. Notice, I said two-way, one must fight against the constant spew of network media trash that people constantly hear (and he does) so I'm constantly fighting these stupid rumors...where in the hell they pick up these things, I don't know.

Hope all had a nice ThanksG.
