After Richard Nixon’s landslide victory in 1972, influential film critic Pauline Kael said, “I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon.”
Interesting, I don’t know anyone who voted for Obama. And yet there he is.
I know someone who voted for Obama, twice - my brother. I talk with him as little as possible. I don’t talk politics, since he’s unteachable and I don’t like to fight when it accomplishes nothing. I don’t talk anything else around him either, since politics contaminates all of his beliefs. I don’t even bring my kids around him, since when he’s near them he tries to talk politics. It’s a shame too; he used to be a decent person before he accepted socialism and government power as good things.
