Since the weather was beautiful today, we decided to go out for breakfast at a favorite restaurant of ours with outdoor dining, owned by two decorated war veterans, one a Viet Vet, and the other a vet of the Israeli Army.
The people (in their 70's - 80's & dressed to the 9's) having a conversation at the table next to us caused a bit if a stir. We did not say anything, but a few others in the restaurant did. Here are some of their more "juicy" quotes"
"My grandchildren have been brainwashed. They're Liberals."
"I know two people who are atheists. They think they should have rights, too, even without going to church."
"Did you see that car in the lot that had an Obama sticker on it? Where did they come from?
And the statement that finally evoked a response from someone:
"I'm glad my kids already went to college. I wouldn't let them go now. You know what the colleges are doing? They hire only Liberal professors & they're only allowed to teach liberal things." THis is where someone else chimed in & asked what their kids majored in. A woman answered "My son is an electrical engineer," which prompted the response "Can you please tell me the difference between Liberal Calculus & Conservative Calculus?" The woman responded "That's my point - my son could not have become an engineer if he had to go to college today." Several others joined in at this point , some even laughing, but fortunately, nothing nasty happened. I guess the blue skies & brilliant sunshine helped!
Considering the proprietors of this restaurant are way to the Left of pretty much anyone I know, I think these people may have picked the wrong restaurant.
When you set out to create a thread of lies for this forum is that really the best you could come up with in your mind?
I do not believe this story. I didn't after Post 1, but when I read that the restaurant owners have political posters all over the restaurant walls..............I call BS.

Sadly, the old folks were right, but libs are too brainwashed to understand reality.

lol. I've been in restaurants all over the country with them. For a variety of causes. Including restaurants in Little Saigon (Westminster, CA) where the owners are still fighting the commies. I've gotten a smog check in places with anti-commie posters in Orange County.
Dang, people. Do the conservatives on this board never get out of the house?
You missed it - the Vets were the restaurants owners, not the people talking loudly in a crowded area.
And, "for the record," at this particular restaurant, as at many of the restaurants in the area, people are often friendly & converse with strangers. Happens all the time.
No ideology to the food (Unless you think serving Blintzes, Latkes and Bagels & Lox ideological), but the restaurant's owners make no effort to hide their political beliefs through posters all over their walls.
