Welcome to my blog. I don't know exactly what I'll be using this forum for or what direction it will take me in. For now I plan to keep things organic and let it unfold as a place to express my opinions and basically rant and vent. Stay tuned . . .

THEY HANG THEMSELVES EVERY TIME
So I was out and about with my wife Saturday night and we stopped into a local bar for a beer where we ended up striking up a conversation with another couple who was around our age. They seemed like a white collar couple. She had just gotten off of work and obviously worked in the medical field and he didn't seem inarticulate. Not long into the conversation they started dropping all the stereotypical catch phrases that made them out to be obvious conservatives. I won't go into everything we discussed but I would like to point one or two things out to show just how incredibly stupid these people are. At some point they asked me if I like Obama and I said that I certainly do and that I feel that he brought this country back from the abyss that was created by GW Bush. I then stated job creation numbers and other economic statistics along with my favorite line to use on these types of people, "the facts don't lie." Which prompted his wife to say in a very sarcastic manner, "I guess that's why my husband has been unemployed for two years." Now I have no idea what this guy did for a living or what his particular skills are and I didn't care to ask. I also had no idea how ambitious or creative the man is as far as seeking employment. Here's what I was able to deduce though . . . It was at about this time that he spoke up and said, "where do you get your news and facts from?" I then explained to him that I pretty much watch all of the news channels as well as read a lot of online news and that when I hear or read something I then go to some reliable fact checking website to verify. To that he replied, "you cant get news on the internet and you can't fact check on the internet. Everything on the internet is a lie. I don't even use the internet. I never go on there." I disagreed with him of course and pointed out to him that even newspapers and magazines are now online but that's neither here nor there. Here's the thing that his little argument exposed to me. He is getting all of his information from TV and I'll bet it all comes from one channel called Fox and, he isn't using the internet in his search for a job. Here his wife is, blaming Obama because her husband has been out of work for two years and the guy doesn't even use the internet. They were just so adamant in their hatred for Obama and all things liberal that it made me sick and yet there they were also demonstrating just how out of touch and uninformed they really are. If you give any conservative enough time and let them talk long enough they will hang themselves. They will expose their ignorance. It's a sure bet every time!!
