I don't like to discuss politics with my Mom -- she is hysterical, and thinks I'm dangerous because I don't think the government is necessarily my friend, and it bothers her when the kids talk conservative. She thinks I've brainwashed them and it's child abuse. The government should rescue them... she pumps them for info to rat on me, like have I protested anything, or written another letter to the editor or some other such unAmerican activity. I LOVE America, but I don't trust overgrown government and bureaucrats and corrupt politicians.... and snoopy relatives
Occasionally I try to open a discussion with my sisters (my parents are amazingly hysterical for open-minded people).
Just before the election (like 4 days), my sister asks me why people would want to change from the policies that brought such good things to the US....
I actually tried to answer....
Silly me.
3 sentences into my answer ( I was going to try to figure out which policies Clinton actually had), she erupted and stopped the discussion with a hysterical shriek.
Liberals tend to do that.
