I am still in shock about what happened to me at work this morning. Myself and two other guys were working in one area of our plant when the plant manager and a supervisor came up. They started talking about the election and the candidates. I continue to work minding my own business when the plant manager turns to me in front of everybody and aks me " You're not voting for him(Obama)are you"? I stood there in shock. Then he tells me he is disappointed in me. He then starts to make up Muslim sounding names Mohammed, Akbar,and so on and starts calling me them. I tell him our boss man is voting for Obama and will be one of Obama's advisors. He did not seem to like that. The company I work for is owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathway Group. About this time the other supervisor says he thinks we will find out Obama is connected to Muslims. I ask him what difference it will make if he is, the constitution gives us all freedom of religion I say to them. They lost it then. More below the flip.
One told me I was a demon and I was going to burn in hell. The other told me there was no way I was a Christian or I could not have made that statement. I told them the beauty of America was it didn't matter if we were white, black, asian, latino, Christian, Catholic, Muslim, Buddhist or whatever we all are granted the same liberties and freedoms by our constitution. I told them they didn't get to pick and choose which parts of the constitution they like or dislike and then apply them accordingly. They continued to call me names and to tell me how I would spend eternity. I finally quit talking to them and just stared at them when they would say other comments. I think they both knew I had enough.
To say I am shocked is an understatement. It seems to me they are the ones with hate in their hearts. My whole point was tolerance of others and granting others their constitutional rights. When they left the other two guys working with me came up and said they both agreed with me. We kind of had a laugh wondering " where did that come from"? I told them it was allright. They were probably mad because they see where this election was going. If they had to take it out on me it's allright. Change is coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
