LOL...I had Thanksgiving at my in-laws last week. My nephew is an art major at a liberal college, very nice kid but completely clueless. The kind of kid who wears a Che Guevara t-shirt without really knowing who it is. Anyway, during dinner, he began to ridicule the clothes that some newswoman was wearing, and pretty sharp ridicule. I interrupted him and said "Wait a minute. How can you ridicule someone else's appearance, when you have two steel posts sticking a quarter inch downward from each nostril, rings in your eyebrows and lips and wooden plugs in each earlobe?"

I meant it, too, even though I was laughing while I said it. I had to take my other nephew to task as well on another occasion (nephew on my side) He is 13 years old with a reading disability and can barely read. He is also (at 13 years) a raging liberal moonbat who has bought into the entire liberal outlook and Obama worship. This isn't surprising, considering that he gets most of his knowledge and understanding of current events from watching television. I bought him an iPod and filled it with historical biographies and such, but it is like a brick in the Grand Canyon when compared with the effects of limitless television indoctrination. When I visit, he wants to talk politics with me, which I was happy to do until I realized he was completely infected with liberalism, which saddened me to no end. One day, he started talking about how bad and stupid Republicans were, and used Dan Quayle as an example of stupidity, saying "He doesn't even know how to spell "potato". I had to stop him and say "How can you ridicule the way someone spells, when you can barely spell words yourself?

Believe me, I am sympathetic to his learning disability and to my other nephew's compete obliviousness, but it stops when they make a deliberate effort to go out of his way to ridicule others. I just don't have any truck with that.
