My girl and I are into the arts, and cultural events. The places where these things are, tend to be ultra liberal. My girl generally agrees with their points of view, but I tend to have the complete opposite.

Though I am a jeans and t-shirt kind of guy, I don't wear t-shirts that have any logos, artwork or commentary. I just don't. I haven't since I stopped wearing concert tees in the earlie 90s.

I have not let them win. I am constantly exposed to their propaganda, and loud, in your face opinions. I will not ever jump on their bandwagon. I beileve in our soldiers and their mission, regardless of how it might appear. I'm not going to play their game. I'm not interested in being the loudest, most obnoxious so I can win a go nowhere argument. I'm not going to miss out on thigs that interest me, things that I have in common with my girl, because it will cause me to have to be with people who find it necessary to voice their poiltical opinions where ever they are.

I don't need to convince the anti war liberals that I have to encounter that I support the troops. I know I do, and would rather let the troops know that.
