Went to the grocery store today after work to pick up some more diet coke; I know, your getting old when your picking up diet cokes for the weekend. Anyway, they had no diet cokes so I picked up some diet RC cola instead. While at the check out, I was kidding with the check out girl and asked if the coke man was on strike.
That's when an old man that was in line behind me stated that Bush probably ran him out of busness like he has everyone else. I just kind of laughed and thought to myself "another Bush beater". He then went on to bashing the war; again, his right and ok by me. He next stated that Bush had our baby killing, raping troops over there creating terrorist.
That's when I snapped; I told him "Your barking up the wrong tree now mister. I just retired from the military 2 years ago and fought in the last three wars. You can bash Mr. Bush all you like, but those brave young men and women over there are defending your very right to make a public bellybutton of yourself in this store." That seemed to shut him up long enough for me to pay for my stuff and get away from the idiot. The check out girl and the other folks in line all got a kick out of it; I guess he is usually out spoken around town and most folks just let him rant. I probably should have too, he just got the better of me when he started in on our troops.
