On July the 4th I wore my NR T-shirt to Seaside Park in Bridgeport, CT. The
gates were closed to traffic, ’cause the park had become too crowded. I
asked a cop at the gate if I could just drive in and drop off some picnic
stuff and come right back out.
“Nice magazine,” he said.
What the hell was he talking about? He registered my blank stare, and said
“Nice magazine on your shirt.”
“Oh, thanks,” I said, hoping this might have given me an “in”. Sadly, no; he
still wouldn’t let me in the park.
Later that evening, the kids and I paid a buck to go in to the amusement
park midway. We left to go get mommy, and asked the ticket taker if we
needed a hand stamp to leave and return.
“No, I’ll remember you,” he replied “we don’t get many conservatives around
here.”
