Discovered the "Sacred Cow" here at my Right Wing Work Place [View All]

[Tyler Durden]

As far as "toleration" of my liberal proclivities, these people aren't TOO bad. Of course I do have to join certain acclimations like a member of some bizarre Greek Chorus, but normally I can handle that. This morning, I stepped on a land mine:

RONALD REAGAN.

When asked what "Contemporary Republican" living or dead I could stand as president (prefaced: CONSERVATIVE Republican; "Rocky" was disqualified), I replied Barry Goldwater (not 1964 style). To my shock, I was hooted down, so I replied with who these folks would choose. Three EMPHATIC and enthusiastic replies: RONALD REAGAN.

I have to admit that the mouth started without the brain in gear, but fortunately I got cut off at the knees before I could permanently jeopardize my position. The ground rules: say what I want about ANY Republican EXCEPT Saint Ronald; HE is off limits.

Seriously. I have never met such a completely delusional group of adults in my life. I ALMOST responded that NONE of these guys was RICH enough to be a "Real Republican," but I thought better of it and shut up.
