Between appointments, I was enjoying my McDonald's senior-coffee and reading the USA Today. The booth next to me held four fellas of the retirement brotherhood. Did not take long for me to decipher their collective religious and political views. We old farts talk loudly because we believe everyone has the same compromised hearing.
These conservative birds were intermingling their religious beliefs against the recent Supreme Court ruling, which legalized gay marriages. They also placed their financial interest against the same court's ruling about Obamacare. Surely, you know they were blaming everything on Obama.
I was irritated by their not so subtle suggestion that 'conservative folks' enjoyed a closer walk with Jesus. In light of their vociferous intolerant commentary and hatefulness expressed towards President Obama, I dare say the likes of such are NOT walking close to Christ.
Finally, I suspect these gentlemen were 'left behind' in their educational experiences considering they have no understanding of the U. S. branches of government and our constitution. The last time I looked, the Supreme Court had five (5) very conservative judges appointed by very conservative Presidents. The remaining four (4) judges were of liberal persuasion appointed by same thinking Presidents. These people interpret the law. Whatever decisions they make should not be laid at the feet of the serving President...follow the dots.
Finally, would you old tight penny-pinching farts stop bringing yesterday's McDonald's cup to get 'ongoing' refills; even conservative ideas have limitations. Your cheapness derails Reagan's 'trickle down' economic theory causing a stall in minimum wage increase for your grandkids.
