Faithful Reader Reports More Scary Sounds

A faithful reader and I exchanged emails regarding my "Scary Sounds" post of yesterday.  Thought the emails may be worth sharing.

Buster, I feel your pain and concern. I experience similar on an all-too-regular basis. On Friday, it was at the 

car repair shop.  I announced that I knew Trump was extremely intelligent and had one of the world's 

greatest memories -- because he "told" me on TV. One guy piped up, "I don't see what that has to do with 

anything." I told  him that it is prima facie evidence that the guy who said it is an idiot.

I then "learned" that I am a socialist and that the economy and everything else is vastly improved since the 

moron became president.

Within minutes, I was told that I am a dim bulb. He said this because (he said) I told him that I am smarter 

than he is, and people who say that aren't very smart. But I did not say that; I just showed him.

More than a touch of irony here.  He says "smart" statement by Trump on TV doesn't mean a thing; but he

can instantly discern that a total stranger is a socialist, falsely attribute a similar statement to him, and label 
him as totally misguided and defective.

These people could write the Fox Noise playbook.

I have tried to avoid or minimize such events by not having a battle of wits with an unarmed man, 
but saying anything factual or logical is a liability in this exceptional country.

Thank you for blogging so diligently. It's really great.

Hi Don!  Good to hear from you.  

An interesting phenomenon I've experienced with conserva-tards is that:

1.  They assume that everyone they encounter holds the same fantasyland beliefs that they do, and they 

can't fathom that anyone might think differently.  (A liberal Democrat in business blows their minds!). 

2.  They have no compunction about sharing their brilliant thoughts, unsolicited, with anyone, anywhere, 

at any time. 

3.  Because they're intellectually insecure, they feel the need to protect their cocksure "wisdom" by loudly 

shouting down those who disagree.

I'm not particularly interested in converting anyone to my way of thinking -- either you is wit' me or you ain't -- 

but unless you're discussing sports or the weather, you can't have a conversation with these clods.  

They're impossible.

Hang in there,

Buster
