In reply to the discussion: I finally had all that I could take of the "Civil War" bullshit. [View all]Delmette2.0
(4,501 posts)53. During Obama's first campaign for the WhiteHouse,
I had a young GOP kid asking for my vote and I told him I was a solid Democrat. He started peppering me with the right wing BS. He was getting on my nerves when he finally said They're coming for your guns. I just flat out told him, If that happens, Barney Fife won't be knocking at your door. It will be a Blackhawk helicopter the will blow you and your house off the map.
He has a blank look in his face and wished me a good day and left. I had never talked like that to anyone. I hope I never have to again.
I think I had enough grey hair for him to think I knew what i was talking about.
