Idiots, Morons, and Knuckledraggers, Oh My!

Conversation samples from my lovely night at work.

"Obama's citizenship is now in question. It's gonna finally come out that he's a Muslim."

Guess what, you dunderhead: there are millions of American citizens who are also Muslim! Islam is not a country and Muslims are not that "country's" citizenry. And Obama isn't a Muslim but, if he were, that should make no difference regarding his qualifications as president. I'd rather have a smart Muslim than a Christian idiot as a leader any day of the week, thank you very much.

"I can't believe you voted for Obama! With a middle name like Hussein, I don't see how anyone can trust him."

Hm.. Lemme guess. You think he's a Muslim because his name is Hussein. My name is Angelina, which must mean that I'm a Catholic from Sicily. Fucking idiot.

"I'm just not comfortable with a president who's affiliated with known terrorists"

You mean like the Bush family ties to the bin Laden family? Do you not remember how relatives of Osama bin Laden were swiftly spirited out of the country the day of and the day after 9/11/2001? No wonder Americans are so scoffed at by the world. It would appear that the majority of us, or at least the majority for the past eight years, has the attention span of a goldfish.

"Yay! It looks like McCain is leading Obama by several thousand votes!"

Yeah, in South Carolina. The state has a collective IQ of not quite 100 and its people are only exhibiting their mental capacity by voting the way their churches told them to, despite unemployment rates being sky high and folks losing their homes right and left. Smart. Really smart.

I'm glad I only had to work five hours tonight and that I was able to hold my tongue as much as I did. Had I been there any longer, I would have blown a freaking gasket and told all these tackheads exactly what I thought, more so than I actually did. It's so hard living in a red state, a painfully Red state.

It's heartening to see that North Carolina might actually snap out of the Red haze in which it's been fumbling for the past few decades, and go blue. Elizabeth Dole lost her seat. HA! If NC does vote blue, I'm so getting me a "Proud North Carolinian" bumper sticker.

or the Palin family with the secession movement in Alaska.

That's just spunky American spirit right there, though! Didn't you know that? Silly boy!

At this moment, NC is 1,784,413 for McCain and 7,781,906 Obama (86% reported). Even if McCain takes the state, that's still awesome.

I have a good feeling about NC at least putting up a damn good fight because the dems appear to be winning ALL the other races (Which is very unusual for NC) which I'm taking to mean the dems got their asses out to the polls. This is strange. I'm so used to my vote not mattering at all! I actually just saw a closeup of Wake County voting numbers on CNN! ...weird!

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

And we *still* don't know which way NC is gonna go! Damn!

[irenes.livejournal.com]

we DID it!! I'm almost more excited about this then him winning the whole thing (almost but not quite). I kinda sorta actually feel like my voting actually mattered. (almost but not quite ;) )

I just love the Hussein argument. I mean, that's just hysterical. It reminds me of when some bank sent me a preapproval letter encouraging me to celebrate my Chinese heritage with a Chinese Heritage VISA, available in four (apparently) Chinese designs. I saved it for years. If I'd had any credit at all at the time, or maybe even a job (I was a student), I would've gotten one just to have it. The cinnabar-colored one with the golden bamboo graphic, probably.

I think the name Hussein is, like, INCREDIBLY COMMON. I think it's like Smith in the US, or, dare I say Lee (Li) in China. People's fucktardery is just astounding.

All this time, I thought you were Asian!

Hallelujah sister.

Hey, did you get my email message? I sent to the susperia addy. There was something I wanted to talk to you about off-list...

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

No. Can you email me again? It's susperia5 at yahoo.

[missautopsy.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I just resent--it's from my gmail account miss(dot)autopsy(at)gmail(dot)com.

Even though NC did vote only 10,000 more for Obama, WE STILL DID IT! Now if they would actually make us blue, I would feel better, instead of striped (on Yahoo)That is a biggy for NC!!

[reptile713.livejournal.com]

You're from North Carolina?

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

That's a big 10-4.

"Obama's citizenship is now in question. It's gonna finally come out that he's a Muslim."

Yeah, heard this one this morning from a bitter Right-Winger, who also added that "Obama's Birth Certificate doesn't match the format used in Hawaii that year and they sealed the record so no one but him can see the original" as though that was a big conspiracy. MY birth certificate looks nothing like the original that would have been issued (people lose them, they get replaced), and ALL fucking birth records are sealed for 100 years so that no one but next of kin or authorized personal representatives can see them. I know this because researching history through public records is my favorite hobby and, as much as I might be curious to find some things, it just isn't in the rules.

[falkenna.livejournal.com]

Take it from me, birth certificates of the time aren't worth the paper they're written on, Raleigh has decided they can do them bigger and better by NOT using the original, and I had to replace mine to renew my passport. Even though my footprint is on it! :-)

The Charlotte Observer online says that there are something called "provisional votes" that will have to be counted separately over the next few days, which is why NC can't be declared. But it's 11,000 more for Obama, we did it, we did it! I agree, I was also ecstatic that NC went blue.

Tin, is there such a bumper sticker? Could I have one please?

[gatheringrivers]

If NC does vote blue, I'm so getting me a "Proud North Carolinian" bumper sticker.

I'm seeing the state still marked as gray ("processing") on CNN and other sites. CNN's numbers indicate the race is within 24,000 votes - probably enough to trigger a recount, which would explain why it's not red or blue yet.

But, if the numbers hold? You'll need to be picking out that bumper sticker. :)
