As I stated in earlier posts, I am still in the process of going through the many comments I received about the ticket my friend received in New Hampshire and the idea that all motor vehicle ticket “complaints” are illegal in a court of law unless the plaintiff can prove “standing” (damages).
Well, another issue has really ruffled my feathers–comments I have received AND AM NOT RUNNING-about Elizabeth Esty. For those of you who have been in a hole for the past several months, or are new to my blog, Elizabeth Esty, Democratic Cheshire Town Council member, is running as the Democratic candidate for the State of Connecticut 103rd District against Republican incumbant Al Adinolfi.
Look, I have nothing against Al Adinolfi. He is a nice guy, he has helped me out a few times when I called his office, he is responsive to his constituents and did help get the senior tax freeze. Al is a straight up classy guy.
BUT, I am sick and tired of these sexist, old hag men whose goldmember has probably seen better days, rake this woman over the coals JUST BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN!!
Now from time to time, I do log into Tim White’s Blog to read the “anonymous” comments. There was a post about the Three Strikes Conference and some “anonymous” person commented that they did not see Ms. Esty at the conference because she is too liberal and she thinks society is too harsh on the criminals or some nonsense.
Fortunately. someone made a comment and told them that their WASP days of dominance were coming to an end or something to that matter, and that the Republicans ruined this country with their corporate giveaways.
Yeah see, here is how it is Mr. Ultra WASP conservative that had everything handed to him his entire life. Were YOU at the press conference? Were YOU at the anti-violence rally a few months ago in Hartford that I attended along with hundreds of other people from all over the state? Did you cry out over the Peeler incident in Bridgeport or the nine people killed in a Prospect home invasion years ago? Did we hear about three strikes when Bridgeport had over 100 murders each year?? NOPE!! And you know why!!
It was only when hoity toity Cheshire was affected that this person was outraged!!
Yes, I believe we should have three strikes, but we need to realize that building prisons is VERY EXPENSIVE. If we have three strikes, it should be for hardened criminals, people that are a real threat and danger to society–not someone who sells a dime bag of grass!! HARDENED RAPISTS BURGLARS AND MURDERERS!!
These are the same people who want three strikes, but they bitch and moan about the prison in Cheshire. You know they are a bunch of NIMBYS (NOT IN MY BACKYARD).
They sit home and rank on women and minorities anonymously and then accuse myself and my husband of sending out anonymous letters!! I DON’T SEND OUT ANYTHING ANONYMOUS I PUT MY NAME ON EVERYTHING WHAT UP!!
Your attitude is what got this country into the mess it is in!! Grow up and start realizing that your man dominance is coming to an end!!
And then you don’t think I don’t know who is making these comments on the other blog about me and Ms. Esty? Who is educated enough to speak in Latin? I know!! Give it up. YOU ASK ANYONE-INCLUDING THE COPS–IF I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY-I SAY IT RIGHT TO YOUR FACE-COPS INCLUDED!!
Well, I was stewing over this for several days and had discussed it with my spouse and just chalked it up to life experiences.
However, the other night, things came to a head and it turned ugly. My spouse and I were at an eating establishment in another town when a person of high visibility in Cheshire saw us eating and came over to us.
That is when things got nasty. First of all, this person (who was male), did not even acknowledge God’s gift (me). He just started talking to my husband and actually said a racial slur about Obama.
I don’t know if he did not think I heard him because I started speaking to a friend that had accompanied us to the restaurant at about the same time this person made the comment.
When I heard the Obama comment, I called him a “racist bitch.” Well, then HE started talking about Hillary Clinton and how glad he was that she was not nominated. “We don’t need HER screwing things up even more,” he said.
Then he started talking about how dumb Sarah Palin was. Now this person IS a Republican, so that comment surprised me, but then again, it didn’t because Sarah Palin IS A WOMAN.
I could feel my blood boiling, so I just started making third person comments about him to my friend.
Well, one thing led to the other and he looked me in the face and told me to shut up. Well, that did it. I got up and starting calling him a racist and a sexist and told him that I didn’t appreciate the comments about Ms. Esty, Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin and all women whose success seems to bother him.
I told him to get away from our table because we did not want to hear his racist/sexist bitch talk anymore. I went to get up to move closer to him to tell him off when out of the blue, he grabbed me by the shirt collar and pushed me and I fell back and hit my head on the table on the side of me. (Luckily it was a booth table near the wall or it would have been worse)!!
The next thing I knew was that I was on the floor and this person started crying!! He was sobbing!! He said “I’m sorry Cindy, I’m sorry!! I didn’t mean it, my hand just went forward.”
I really felt dizzy so the ambulance was called. I went to a local hospital. I am not getting specific because I know this person did not mean to cause harm, and I don’t want 500 Snoop Dogg on the case!!
I know the cops came and conducted their investigation. Of course, there were a roomful of witnesses. They asked me if I wanted to press charges. I said no. My mouth does get a little sassy, so sometimes I have to take it on the chin. I know he was put in handcuffs, but my spouse told me later that the police brought him outside and said they were citing him for disorderly conduct.
Anyway, I have a big beaner on the back of my head. I never did get to finish my meal. And to top it off, this person keeps calling my house all the time to see if I am ok.
I AM OK!! All is fair in love and war. I can dish it out and I can take it!!
This person actually came over to see me this morning. I had a few “friends” visiting so I felt relaxed. But I am just sorry this whole thing got out of hand. It could have been worse, but I am not going to carry on about it anymore.
End of story.
