How to Survive Thanksgiving at Your Liberal Relatives
Big Government ^ | November 18, 2012 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 11/18/2012 10:01:02 AM PST by Kaslin

As a public service to our readers, and as a gesture towards civility in our national discourse, we offer the following how-to-guide for surviving Thanksgiving dinner at the home of your triumphant liberal relatives:

Arrival. “Your home looks lovely. Almost like it’s worth what you paid for it. Obama didn’t help with that yet, did he? Oh, well, maybe next term. May I use your bathroom?”

In the unlikely event that your host’s home has appreciated in value, use this introduction instead: “Love what you’ve done with it. Better dump it before the new year, though, or you might face that new Obamacare tax.” (Wait until after dinner to make a lowball offer.)

“Wow! Everything looks lovely! It is amazing what we all can do when we work together. I mean, Obama was right, you didn’t do that, we all did. So, your welcome for my contribution.”

I’m surrounded by liberals, so I tend to just smile and say “Well, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.” When they boast about all the miracles Obama’s going to perform, I smile again and say “I hope you’re right. We’ll just have to wait and see.” (Meanwhile, I’m saving money, paying down debt, and stockpiling rice and beans, because I think we’re heading for harder times yet.)

Hilarious!

Here’s me to my loser college aged nephews...

Oh I see you got another tatoo. I heard the first lady say the other day if you get a tatoo of your favorite fruit or vegetable, you can use your food stamps to pay for it.

How about just showing up in your “Impeach Obama”, “Obama stole the election”, “Obama Bin Lyin” and “Our Kenyan President” T-shirts?

Subtle but not too subtle for the leftie “challenged” brain....lol.

“What the heck are all you doing in this comfortable house with a nice meal prepared? You didn’t MAKE any of this — now, pack it all up and take it to the nearest food bank or soup kitchen! NOW!

“You don’t want to be seen as hypocrites do you?”

I’ve already told my obama supporting relatives that they are no longer welcome in my home and I will bother them with my presence in their homes.

Sorry, I want my Thanksgiving to be happy ...thus, we don’t really make much of an effort to spend Thanksgiving with these types of relatives. (i.e, my MIL is really the only one).

She actually had the GALL to start talking smak about Obama at hubby’s military retirement. (With balls the size of boulders and a brain the size of a pea.) I just walked out of the room when it started, to avoid being caught for murder, and possible lifelong incarceration ...

I moved to Texas. None of my relatives here voted communist. We’re going to have a wonderful Thanksgiving AND Christmas without any lib talking points to be heard.

How about going through their house helping yourself to whatever you need? If they have anything that you don’t have, feel free to redistribute it. For example, let’s say your liberal family has a 60” LCD, but you only have a 40”. Feel free to grab one of their 20” computer monitors to even things out. Or, let’s say you’re a bit low on gas after driving to their house. Get out a siphon and take what you need from their cars. It’s only fair!

I'm not surviving any thing. I have a large family. If by chance I'm invited to my younger sister's and my rotten little brother shows up, the moment he opens his yap I'm going to shut it. Hell, I may just paste him one on sight. I'm not ''surviving'' anything any more. If I'm around some liberal who is going on about Obama I'm going to go off. No more playing nice with these a-holes. Time to ''get in their faces''.

Bless you. As per your screen name might I'd suggest you say “Really, must we spoil so nice a meal as to mention something so unpleasant as politics?''

When they boast about all the miracles Obama’s going to perform,...

Or, you could ask "Didn't he say he was going to do that four years ago?".
