Some are, some aren't. I have a great time debating with the smart ones who have a basic grounding in economics, history, and the like. I just trade recipes and family gossip with the others.
I don't resent the lefties at all but I would never let one of them borrow a firearm. There's "like" and there's "trust".
Lately, it has been a daily activity to pray for them which is what the good book says to do. I am not Christian, but follow 'Christian' principles and have been told this is what I need to do. My wife's entire family are Liberals and so is my sister. The rest, I have successfully been able to punditize(if there is such a word):) I just pray for them to see Bush the way we all see him - an honest and decent man. When I slip and want to pop them in the mouth, I go back and try and pray again for them. I've become more distant with them and don't see that changing. The get togethers is just for show, but as far as enjoying them, I don't anymore. Especially when I have to go up north on Holidays (Liverpool, NY) to be with them. Very challenging -
