So I'm at the restaurant in Woodbridge, VA, on the border of the blue/red divide. Just minding my business, eating my pulled pork sandwich when some raging "rednecks" (they're in New England too, but yes, these are rednecks) start ranting about Hillary Clinton, god, guns and "pinko liberals."
After a couple minutes of this, I have my fill of my sandwich which I'm about to gag on from hearing this nonsense. I think about framing, walk over to these loud morons and have this conversation:
Me: So you think all Democrats are anti-American huh?
Hillbilly Bob: That's right. All you care about is queers and arabs.
Me: Really? Do you shop at Wal-Mart? (Assuming that he does)
Hillbilly Bob: Yeah.
Me: So you're a commie lover. You do know that it's an outlet for a commie regime, don't you?
Hillbilly Bob: Yeah alright. (Gives me a smirk like he's about to pop me).
Me: Did you vote for Bush?
Hillbilly Bob: Yeah, what's you're f--ing point?
Me: Well, not only are you a commie lover, but you're an anti-American commie lover who's screwing over your fellow Americans.
At this points his friends shrug and say "well, he's got a point."
So then I ask, "do you watch Fox News?"
Hillbilly: "Yeah. What the hell do you care what I watch?"
Me: Because not only then can I say you're a commie lover, but you love exporting our jobs away, strengthening a futre enemy who has a hundred times more nukes than those arabs you hate and you watch a television channel that got its idea from Soviet propaganda."
Hillbilly's friends start laughing. One says, yeah, he's got good points.
Hillbilly Bob: "Well, maybe you're not all fags."
Me: "No, but I think there's a lot worst going on than a couple of guys who want to get married like anybody else, don't you think?"
Hillbilly: Why are you even bothering me.
Me: Because you almost made me throw up.
The coversation didn't gop exactly this way word for word, but that is the general gist of it. At one point I thought he was going to jump me, but I was bigger. But anyways, just some thoughts on framing.
Hillbilly Bob:
