Republicans don't litter

So, I love my father. I do. He raised me by himself while commuting two and a half hours each way to and from work. The man is fearless and fun and loyal.

But.....

We strongly disagree on politics. We mostly disagree because he thinks everything conservative is the gospel and I think having an open mind is the only way to fix this country.

And then there was yesterday. He told me that he didn't understand why liberals were pushing a reusable drinking container agenda when they were the ones that litter. I said that I think everyone litters because people just suck in general. He informed me that this was not true because Republicans don't litter. He knew this because he was at a Tea Party event of 1,500 people and when they left there was no litter.

Ummmmm......

I told him that I was at a trade show with more than 1,500 people and there was no litter. I said that maybe there were just plenty of trash cans. I said that I was guessing there were both Republicans and Democrats at the trade show.

Well, apparently I was wrong. Because I was then informed that we all know Democrats litter because of Occupy Wall Street.





So this man's logic is to compare a Tea Party gathering with Occupy Wall Street, which everyone knows was a ridiculous mess. Yes. Flawless logic.

I asked him when the last time he had been at a liberal gathering. He said he had been. And there was litter. Okay.... so when. Well, he had to admit it had been years. But it didn't matter because Republicans don't litter and liberals do.

Then he brings up that he went to a gay rights event and they wouldn't let his dog in. I asked what that had to do with anything. He said that they were supposed to be open-minded and accept everyone.

So.... we are now comparing the rights of a group of people to the rights of a dog coming into a park? Uh....

So, stupid me, I say, that's because no one cleans up after their dogs.

The response? (Come on. I know you're dying to know.)

He says, "Hm. I'd be interested to see who does clean up after their dogs. I'm pretty sure it would be Republicans."

What?!? WHAT?!?

So, folks. Now you know. Republicans don't litter and they clean up after their dogs. Liberals litter and let their dogs poop on your yard. This is infallible logic so believe it!
