The Untrained Mind, Part I

This is only an introduction of a possible series of my varying opinions about liberal-bashing numb-tongued, dirty idiots and why they're stupid unlike me. I'm just trying to get started tonight before I forget. I'll be talking about the utterly clueless also.

I spend a good bit of time talking with people around town. I go in at least three houses a day and speak with people while I correct technology issues or install VoIP service. Quite a few people every day ask me where I'm from because I don't have much of a Southern drawl. When I tell them I'm from Colorado, they usually ask what I did out there. When in awe about my being a soldier, they tend to inquire about my time in Iraq. They're always happy to discover that I never went, and that I'm not over there now.

Point is, I haven't found a fucking soul who is happy about that war (the day I do find someone of that opinion, it will be posted here with some lengthy comments.) Not one person has said "...and you should have stayed in so you'd be helping those guys out and becoming a hero." Not one. All have said they're glad I'm not over there and cough up something related to "bad situation over there."

I'm in the middle of South Georgia. It's not exactly chock full of liberals. There's an agricultural school here for Christ's sake. Good ol' boys and old money here. Lots of Bush support. But so far, nobody is for the war. Or no one's verbally for it anyway.

I haven't even heard support for Bush, like "It's a mess over there, but Bush has a plan... ." I think people are scared to talk politics with their Internet provider. Oh, well, I can only write about my experience. And from my experience, no one likes this war.
