Recently, I went to my local Barnes & Noble to pick up a copy of "Sacred Fire" about George Washington. It turned out to be an interesting tale.
I forgot the name of the author, which makes it nearly impossible to find a book at B&N. So, they have this desk in the middle of the store where you can find employees who will help you. Well, who are supposed to help you. This particular night, there was a short, skinny, unhappy looking lady working. I asked her if she would help me find the book I was looking for. She wanted the title and author. So, I explained my dilemma to her and she promptly told me that there were so many books on George Washington that I would never be able to find it if I didn't know the author. Here is where the interesting part comes in. I explained that I would recognize the cover because I saw it on the Glenn Beck show and that's how I knew the title. Talk about body language. She immediately stiffened and became brash, to the point that my then 13 year old daughter picked up on it.
To make a long story even longer...every time I opened my mouth, she seemed to be less and less willing to help. I said surely she had heard of it recently and others were asking for it since Glenn recommended it. Boy, was she getting impatient with me. After a few minutes, I spotted the book on her computer. She looked at it and told me it was no longer in print. No longer in print!!! REALLY! So, the host of the most listened to talk show in the universe is recommending a book that is no longer in print? I asked her if I could order it. She told me she would order it for me, they would email me when it comes in and I could pay for it then. With my daughter in tow, I left the store with a skip in my step, excited that my book would soon be in. We laughed all the way to the car at the way the lady behaved after I mentioned Glenn.
Several weeks go by and I didn't hear anything from B&N, so I stopped in to see if the book had arrived. The same lady was working, but was busy with another customer. There was a nice gentleman who asked what I needed. He looked up my account, looked somewhat confused and asked if I was sure I ordered the book. He read the notes on my account and asked who helped me order the book. When I told him, he said that explains everything. Explains what? After I left the store the day I ordered the book, the clerk cancelled my order. She said that she didn't think I really wanted to order the book. Now, if she isn't a liberal, you can butter my butt and call me a biscuit.
The guy helping me was very uncomfortable. She was standing a few feet from him and he didn't want her to overhear him. He said he watched the show that Glenn recommended the book on, so he knew exactly what I was looking for. He was not at all surprised that the liberal heffer had cancelled my order. Turns out he had two copies of the book in the store, but they were both ordered by the same person. He called them and asked if I could buy one of their copies. They said I could, so I left the store with my copy of "Sacred Fire" despite the liberal heffer. Again, my daughter and I laughed at her all the way to the car.
I didn't complain, I didn't get ugly with the heffer, I didn't cause a scene...but then, I am a Conservative. This got me to thinking about her behavior the day I thought I ordered the book and my behavior on both visits. The difference epitomizes the difference between a liberal and a conservative...unAmerican behavior and a Patriot.
A liberal knows what is better for you than you do.....A Conservative believes in your right to live your life Independently.
A liberal knows that the Constitution is an old, out dated document...A Conservative believes in the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, the Bible and the authors of all three.
A liberal knows that a woman has the right to have an abortion...A Conservative believes that life begins at conception and our Unalienable rights are also the rights of that child.
A liberal knows every person in this country needs healthcare...A Conservative believes we have the right to decide what we spend our money on and the right to make our own healthcare decisions.
A liberal wants socialism / marxism / communism...A Conservative believes in freedom, capitalism and working hard to get ahead.
Liberal: wealth distribution...Conservative: Independence
Liberal: god...Conservative: God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit
Liberal: government handouts...Conservative: Loves to help others, but has the freedom to choose how and who
Liberal: Taxes for you, not for them...Conservative: Taxed Enough Already
Liberal: UNAMERICAN....CONSERVATIVE: PATRIOT!
If the liberal heffer had her way, she would have controlled my reading material, denying me the right to read about my forefathers, the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and the founding of our country that, yes, has it's basis in Christianity. But, she didn't get her way. I didn't cause a scene, complain or get angry. But, you better bet that I could have and would have...because I am a PATRIOT. I believe in Conservative values, God, Country, Family. Yes, I am a gun totin', Bible thumpin', redneck girl. No "change" is going to budge me from my beliefs. No skinny, uneducated, miserable liberal is going to dampen my PATRIOTISM.
The book is good. Thanks to Glenn for recommending it. If you wish to read it and the liberal clerk won't order it, I've got a copy and I share. BTW, I can't stand liberals. Here are a few I despise:
Barack Obama
Nancy Pelosi
Harry Reid
Barney Frank
Mayor Bloomberg
Keith Olbermann
Bill Maher
Sheriff Dupnik
Nancy Pelosi
Michelle Obama
Rachel Maddow
Arianna Huffington
B&N Heffer
Nancy Pelosi
There's too many to name...
Nancy Pelosi
Thank you for reading my ramblings. I hope you got some enjoyment out of it. Feel free to comment. LYMI!
