The Umbrella

The Umbrella

Got this in an email today. I certainly don’t know if this is a true story but the message is a slam dunk fact.

Umbrellas

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 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 bitch 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 ass and open it.”
