But Who'll Clean the Toilets?

[Ben]

Awesome backfire on this person from (blech) Salon, who includes herself with illegal immigrants even though she's a "privileged white person".

While they were certainly the majority demographic where I used to live, the only people there that I knew who had maids, housekeepers, and nannies, were extremely to the left. Progressives in CA love to bitch about "underpaid farm workers" making $15/hr, while paying their undocumented housekeepers $12/hr.

An old friend of mine was turned to the dark side of liberalism while studying to be an attorney at the University of Michigan in the 60's.  He married the daughter of a man who owned a gas station.  She worked as an operator for Bell Telephone back when my friend was getting turned.  They have lived the good life since then.  They live in a home on 3 acres in the "best" neighborhood.  They are wealthy.  They also own a home on a lake.  They have all the notable cars and toys.  They hang with all the "right" people in our town...college professors and administrators, Judges, doctors, and other lawyers.  He has his own multi-attorney law firm.

He, at least, pretends sometime that he's not the far left proud liberal that we both know he is when our group of Coots meet for lunch each month.  He brags he voted for W when I know he didn't.  The wife not only is an avowed liberal, she is one to the point of my wanting to reach across the dinner table and slap her face at times, even though she is a lifelong friend.  It is absolutely impossible to carry on a conversation with her that doesn't wind up being a lecture from her about how folks like me are knuckle draggers and folks like her are the salt of earth.  I do admit to baiting her at times when I was younger.  Now I just try and ignore her.

Example:  When I retired, she said this to me:  "Well, you have a substantial 401k, also a company pension and you collect SS. Haven't you considered not taking your SS so that SS would be more solvent and those less fortunate than you would be better off with that money?"  To my chagrin, I was struck dumb by her comment and kept my mouth shut.  On the way home I mentioned to my wife that I should have said to her, "Yes, I'll give the money back to SS when you turn your home on the lake over to a homeless family."   

What I have found in our 60 year friendship is that any conversation that challenges either of their hypocrisy and self righteousness is not only an exercise in futility no matter the evidence, but makes for a sour stomach and an intense desire to beat my head against a wall.  Sparring with liberals is an exercise in self flagellation and is futile.

Epic!

@embeedub Yesterday, I was a toothless, uneducated hillbilly Trump supporter. Today, I have a limo driver!
America, what a country!

When you wrestle with a pig, all you get is dirty . . . and the pig, well, he enjoys it.

[grampster]

^^^^Yeah.  It's my sig line.  I put it there more to remind me than any other reason.

Wait...you're supposed to clean toilets?

"even though she is a lifelong friend."

Why?

You apparently look at her as a friend, but it seems to me that she doesn't return the favor given how every time you have a discussion with her she turns into a hectoring, nagging, holier-than-thou liberal bitch whose only purpose seems to be the need to educate you on what a horrible, horrible person you are.

It sounds more like you're a token so she and her husband can say to their liberal accomplices "See! We're tolerant! We have some of "those" people as friends!"

I have a couple of very liberal acquaintances, but very liberal friends? No.

I have a few friends are are more liberal than I am, to the point where they supported Hillary, but given the two *expletive deleted*it-sandwich choices we had for president last year, I don't really hold that against them.

[Hawkmoon]

No, no, you're supposed to pay an illegal Hispanic 20% under minimum wage to do it for you.

:Reading comprehension:

"No, no, you're supposed to pay an illegal Hispanic 20% under minimum wage to do it for you."

Wouldn't it be easier to get a legal immigrant, take their passport, and make them work 22 hours a day for 50 cents an hour?

Seems like every time we hear about some rich dude/dudette being busted for a labor slavery scheme they're painfully liberal.

[AJ Dual]

Whenever I've tried to explain the "Soft Racism of Low Expectations" that comes in an unending torrent from almost all things Leftist, they either don't understand what I'm trying to say, or they just go into ad-nauseum attacks on the "Racist Right".

Giving zero benefit of the doubt to either side for the sake of argument...

Right: "We're not racist. We just wish you'd all get up and act, speak, and dress like middle-class on up White America, so we can be a truly color-blind society..."

Left: "We're not racist. We know you'll never amount to anything on your own, so here's a bunch of Affirmative Action and Welfare to help..."

Which is worse?

[Pb]

No, no, you're supposed to pay an illegal Hispanic 20% under minimum wage to do it for you.

:Reading comprehension:

Most illegal aliens make well above min wage.

[Scout26]

It would appear that I am, like Mal with Zoe, far overpaying my Polish Cleaning Lady.

Or Arabs -- around here, typically Egyptian.

Just the thought of working for an Arab or other mid-easterner causes my stomach to go all queasy.

I've known her husband since 9th grade.  We were each best men in our weddings.  We've hunted birds and rabbits together...He got turned to the dark side in law school.  She seems to think because he's a lawyer that she got a JD by injection.  I just try and ignore her when she outs with some lib snark.  Once in awhile she gets under my skin.  She did last Friday which triggered my rant above.

A black friend of mine is extremely conservative. As in seriously conservative. Far more conservative than I am, and I consider myself to be pretty conservative.

He calls the Democratic party  the New Plantation Party.

To paraphrase him: "Instead of real chains, they keep the (N word) in line with economic chains, and they  are more than happy to jump as high as they can for massa."

He's right. I've said the same for years. People look at you like you are nuts for saying it...

Of course he's right. But he's a pariah in his own ethnic community for saying/thinking so.

And he doesn't really care.
