A proud military man of my acquaintance writes,
“I don’t know why people say liberals are so tolerant, when they act like this!
“Me and some of my buddies were in uniform, but off-duty, at a casino in the desert. The elite types also patronizing the place stared daggers at us, but we weren’t having any of their crap. We were minding our own business, blowing off some steam.
“What with one thing or another, we ended up around the piano bar and somebody started playing a favorite patriotic song of ours. We were in full voice, having a great time, when all of a sudden, this egghead marches up to the band and says, ‘Play the Marsellaise! PLAY IT!”
“They strike up the song and everybody starts belting it out at the top of their lungs, just to drown us out.
“Now, you would think that our money was as good as anybody’s, but I happened to be looking at the band at the time, and wouldn’t you know it, the conductor looked at the owner of the place, a guy who always claimed to be above politics, and he gave the nod! He let them know it was okay to treat us that way! Like all entertainment people, he just wants to tear down our institutions!”
“The laugh’s on him though! I would have been happy enough to just boycott the joint, because I never liked it anyway, but our Major had a talk with the local cops and shut it down! Go crying to your mother, snowflakes!”
