Here's a quote from a government  employee who witnessed a recent interaction  between an elderly woman and an antiwar protester. 

There were protesters at the grocery store handing out pamphlets on the evils of  America.

I politely declined to take one.  There was an elderly woman behind me  and a young (20-ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined.  The young protester put her hand on the old woman's shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice the young lady said,  "Lady, don't you care about helping the children of Iraq?" 
  
The old woman looked up at her and said:  "Honey, my father died in France during World War II, I lost my husband in Korea, and a son in Vietnam.  All three died so a ***** like you could have the right to stand here and badmouth our country.  If you touch me again, I'll stick  this umbrella up your *** and open it." 


You gotta love our seniors...

Oh my God is that ever true! Honestly, where the hell is civility any more? Obviously, we've lost our way. Kudos to Grandma for tellin' it like it is!
