“Prior to the election, my son’s wife criticized me on FB for my stating Obama was dangerous and anyone voting for him is ignorant. I gave her additional pointers regarding the ignorance of those voting for this traitor. My son came to his wife’s defense. I have cut off communication with them. I will not tolerate anyone who supports this traitor, or supports those who support him, family included.”
**********************************************************
We too, have a child that has turned into a liberal...chalk it up to their generation, and the fact that he is a film editor, so you know he is constantly fed crap by co-workers and friends.
We have not cut off communication, but have made a decision that we will not leave any of our hard-earned money to any child that displays liberal views, etc. When the time comes, perhaps our money will go into a trust to provide education for grandchildren, provided it is a learning institution of our choice. Or, we may leave our money to advance conservatism. Or, we may just spend every dime.
I am just not ready to break off communication, as there is always hope that he will see the light once the sh-t hits the fan.
My son isn’t a liberal. He is against Obama and the policies of the left. At least he talks the talk. Unfortunately, he is entertaining the notion that everyone’s opinion is equivalent. He jointed a “discussion” group on FB that is virueluntnly liberal. The people on this FB group have and continue to blame Bush and Republicans for all manner of sins, including the crash of the housing market, and the loss of jobs. And, these idiots stated that Obama has brought back all those jobs Bush lost. When confronted by me on the realities of what actually caused the housing and banking crash, and the loss of jobs to overseas markets (credit NAFTA and GATT, both signed by Clinton), they resorted to vile and hateful personal attacks. When I responded to those attacks, I was then vilified by my son’s wife. When I challenged her intelligence, my son sided with her. As long as my son is with this ignorant person, we’ll forgo contact.
