I was just in my local Lowes store. [View all]

I was ready to check out but the cashier, a woman about 45, and a young man probably about 20 were discussing the Duggars. I pretended to be interested in the contents of the beverage cooler so I could just listen and so she would not break off their conversation to wait on me.

What I heard was a diatribe against pedophiles with tv shows, Teaparty congressmen re: abortion, religious nuts, Republicans in general, and religions that exist for the purpose of enslaving women. She kept saying they are all sick, sick, sick.

She took a breath and her final comment was - I have never voted for a Democrat in my life but I will be voting for Hillary. I can't wait. I am sick of this war on women.

At that point I moved on to the check out point. I said to her that I heard her comment about voting for Hillary and I was right there with her. As proof of her anger she pulled up her shirt sleeve to show me her arm hair was standing on end. She was emphatic that I must understand that there is a war against women and we have got to stop it. I nodded politely and said right there with you.

I walked across the parking lot saying wow, just wow, and got in my car and did several fist pumps combined with Yes! Yes! Yes!
