Lunatic, Left Wing Relatives on Thanksgiving.

Posted on 11/20/2012 1:10:36 PM PST by albie

My 89 year old Mother in law (a conservative) is spending Thanksgiving with me and my family. My wife has requested that her looney left wing grandchildren be allowed to visit with "Granny" on Saturday. They voted Obama and are in their 20's and are actually very nice people. However, I've made it clear that I can not tolerate Obama voters in my house. Nice or not, family or otherwise. I'm still on the fence because I do love my Mother in law. What do you think? Also, are there others with similar problems?

My family voted for Romney in 2012, McCain in 2008, Bush in 200,2004 and Bush in 1992. And Conservatives in the State races. And so did I. If that is voting to destroy the Country, so be it. I plead guilty. You got me.

That I can agree with. There is no excuse for your elderly neighbors. They were educated before the public school system was corrupted.

You forget just how many in this country flirted with Communism in the 1930s.

Have the kids over. They're young and dumb. Use the opportunity to inflict your own conservative propaganda on them. Just smile when they say something idiotic and correct them. But always smile.

I've got a very lib step-daughter who never shies away from voicing her liberal convictions. But I have to bite my tongue, because if I get into an argument i.e. friendly discussion about politics, she gets perturbed and has shut out other family members (like her mother-in-law) for trivialities. I wouldn't want to be responsbible for my wife not being able to see her grandchildren. So I smile and say nothing when she says stupid things.

“nation is falling apart - but I would like to know, is there a point where you draw the line in the sand?

You just said it: When the nation is at stake it is time to put away the pleasantries and bare the fangs.

The election is over. Your family is still your family.

Be gracious and avoid the topic of politics.

“If I eliminated Obama voters from my life, I’d be pretty lonely.”

My parents are conservatives, they were even friends of the Reagans, however, my siblings, not so much. All are Obama voters even though they talk a good game about not being Obama voters. Interestingly, all of them also rely on my parents for free money to some degree. I don’t and never have.

Am I loney? Nope. I could live in a cave all by myself. Not having those freeloaders in my life has been great. I cut them off about six years ago and things couldn’t be better in that department.

I've read the entire thread (to post 113, IIRC), and I find myself at times agreeing with those on both sides of the issue. In the last ten or so years, most of our family has moved to Florida and Texas and since we live in Massachusetts, that's quite a distance to travel "over the river and through the woods", so we are spared having to make your difficult decision.

Best wishes and God bless you. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, whatever you choose to do!

“and are actually very nice people.”

No, Obemba voters are NOT nice people. If they voted for Obemba then they are ENEMIES and should be treated thusly.

I have a stepson who is a liberal/Obemba voter. He knows the he is not to bring up politics while he will be here this weekend. His mother has already informed him that if he does, I’ll run him the hell out of my house.

My entire family will tell you quickly that I am a hardheaded a-hole. Once I draw the line, that's it. My mother would not be allowed on my property if she supported obama and she knows it. We have parted ways for several years before over less.

This is WAR for the survival of the Republic which equals freedom and liberty for all.

An opportunity to educate.

Don’t let the reelection of the jackass turn you into a bitter family member. It’s not a requirement to regain our Liberties.

I have a sister, in fact, my only sister,that I haven’t spoken to in years because of her liberal political views. I don’t care if they are family or not, I have drawn the line, you are either with us or you are against us.

Just another day...a hopefully blessed day, but just another day.

Create a stink and don’t let the kids visit. Now, suppose Granny kicks the bucket the day after Thanksgiving.

The wife would not be pleased.
