I attended this demonstration. It was well attended with about 50 people opposed to the GOP plans to slash Medicare and Social Security.
Kansas WatchDogThe first video highlights progressives and Democrats.
The second video allows TeaBaggers to comment. There were only about 3 or 4 who showed up with their pro-GOP signs and TeaBagger talking points.
I got into a "discussion" about Social Security with the rube in the bib overalls (nice touch, eh?) at about 0'44" (he's the one with the sign "Obama fiddles while America's future burns"). He was wanting to eliminate it. I said "Eliminate an insurance program?" He said it wasn't insurance. I said "What is it then? Entitlement? Subsidy? Welfare?" He said it was "welfare."
I saw that continued discussion would be futile so I shouted "You're crazy! Crawl back under your teapot!" and walked away...the protest was over anyway.
It just isn't worth the time and effort to be civil toward these people anymore ...
