So I live near Princeton, and am forced to commute through it on a daily basis. This in and of itself is not horrible, because it is a nice town. The campus is beautiful, there are magnificent homes in the surrounding area and the overall feel for this college town is one of quiet money. I don't do my drinking here because the drinks are overpriced and the clientele is too blue for my tastes. Sure, I'd have fun laughing at the liberals as they try to explain to me how awesome Krugman is, despite the fact that he was never a success in his area of expertise, which is economics. He sure can write theory that doesn't work, that's for sure.
So I'm on my way home, coasting to a light on my way out of town. There's a lot of cyclists on these streets, which doesn't bother me at all. I'm all for pedal power if you live in a location that's biker friendly, and this is the perfect town for it. But as I'm coasting to this light, there are 2 cyclists ahead, and they aren't hugging the curb at all so I'm guessing they're going left. Sure enough, they proceed to cut in front of me, without even thinking there might be a car on the main drag through Princeton. Now, there's a left turn lane here, so I'm expecting them to park in the left turn lane so they can make the left without any kind of traffic hazard whatsoever, and also abiding by traffic laws. Makes sense, right?
Well, they don't go there. They proceed to cut across to the other side of this relatively narrow intersection, and stop, side by side, on the corner. I'm not talking about being on the sidewalk mind you, but they have their front wheels sticking into the oncoming traffic from the left, and they're blocking about 5 feet of a scant 12 foot lane on the right. I'm amazed. I mean, they had a whole turn lane to themselves, and I know they're waiting for the light to cross, but they're blocking the damn corner. I had to say something, so I rolled down my window with a "HEY!" but they don't think I'm talking to them. Then, they proceed to kiss, ignoring the oncoming traffic, the guy that's trying to make a right around their hipster-liberal asses, and the entire universe around them. My head explodes. "HEEEY! YOU FUCKING DUMBASSES BLOCKING THE INTERSECTION!" At least they stop kissing to stare slack jawed at me for a second. "WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?? HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF TRAFFIC LAWS? ARE YOU TRYING TO GET YOURSELVES KILLED?" Their response of course is to put their fingers up to their skulls and do the twisty motion meaning that I'm the crazy one. As they block the intersection. In oncoming traffic. From both directions. While kissing. Since they didn't say a word, I'm just assuming they didn't speak English and thought I was just yelling at them for kissing in the middle of a goddamn intersection. Also, nobody in America has used the 'he's stupid' twisty finger motion in about 35 years.
So I'm the bad guy. Yet this thing happens all the time around here, because that's what liberal cities are, havens for people who are the first to proclaim that they're your intellectual superior, regardless of the fact that they're completely blind, stupid and arrogant. Why should they obey traffic laws? Why should they be courteous to others? Why should they even care that YOU care? They give nothing other than their disdain for the beliefs, faiths and attitudes of everybody else who doesn't share their worldview. THIS is why this country is on a path to ruin because of the liberal mindset. They don't want laws to interfere with their existence, but they'll be happy to legalize their beliefs and impose them on you. They don't want to obey laws that apply to them, but will make up lies to fit their world-view to make you look like the bad guy. They don't care about anybody else but themselves and are more than happy to explain to you why that's better than you and your beliefs. I'm so sick of their smug bullshit I just want to ship them all off to some hipster compound in upstate NY and let them rot there.
Needless to say, this one simple example of 2 inconsiderate cyclists has stuck with me for my short commute home, but it resonates with me on how horribly pathetic the mind of the 'blue' voter is. They dont' believe in equality and righteousness for all, only what will make them feel better themselves. I'd say they should be ashamed of themselves for the ultimate in vanity, but it won't be me who judges them in the long run. I would hope that they are the ones sitting at a light 20 years from now, wondering how 2 people could be so stupid, but if they maintain their liberal mindset they will never, ever see that they are the ones causing the problems, not solving them.
