so i'm at the dog park today. it's a great dog park, as far as those things go. there's even a big lake where my dog loves to swim and my parents black lab loves to fetch the tennis ball from the lake endlessly.

so i'm throwing the ball for my parent's dog, and watching as my dog romps around in the water, when i hear my family talking to some lady. i can't quite hear what they are saying, but i can tell just by my wife's tone that this lady is saying some crazy shit.

then i hear my dad and her talking, and it is about obama and religion. so naturally i am interested and wander over.

"obama, what is he?" - says crazy lady

my dad starts saying something, which is immediately cut off by the crazy lady.

"is he a child of the universe? i mean, what religion is he?"

"christian", my wife states matter of factly in that familiar tone i just heard.

"christian? really", says crazy lady.

at this point i decide to turn around and confront this lady with basic questions.

"did you really not know that obama is a christian?", i ask incredulously.

"no, i don't know what he is", she replies.

"he's the president" i state, and walk away again.

as i walk away, i hear her garble some words around as if they meant something, before she blurts out...

"i just don't like big government"

i stopped, turned around again, and pointed out that phoenix only exists because the big government built a dam.

her reply, and i shit you not:

"well, i like dams. i don't want to be flooded!"

i gave up at that point and walked away without mentioning the irony of her making that statement at a public park. i later heard her mention that she is a tea partier and she renamed her adult dog "liberty".

as if the dog is even gonna understand that its name got changed.

i asked what they were talking about at first, and my wife told me she engaged them with some of the conspiracy theories she heard about through youtube videos.

i wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry leaving the park.

I heard a woman tell an entire group of kids at the Museum that
The sign on the display was basically a lie about the dinosaurs becuase the earth was only 6000 years old and it was in the bible

It feels wonderful to be back to civilization here in Boston. If only for a short while.

Awesome story, Bucky.

Does anyone want to here my stories of all the closet racist democrats I've talked to here in California.
All ya have to do is insert a little alcohol in these lefties and their true feelings come out.

Democrats aren't lefties. They're hardly distinguishable from republicans.

Your personal opinion doesn't matter, the fact is, democrats are the ones who were in favor of slavery, the ones against the civil right movement and the ones who introduced welfare.
All of which, suppress blacks, democrats hate blacks but love their votes.

John F. Kennedy was a Democrat. He was a Democrat during the "civil rights era." How do you square your historic out-take with one of the most progressive presidents in US history, who was both Democrat AND a champion of equal civil rights?

And, welfare was created to help a nation faced with starvation, disease, and overwhelming poverty during a depression.

(Your personal opinions don't matter, either.)

I don't disagree.

This part goes over your little head though, they are hardly any different from the other party.

The ideals of what we call Democratic (liberal) today are NOT what were a long while ago. Just as Republican (conservative) ideals were vastly different.

Seems you need to learn your history.
