She should have thrown garlic at him.
I got off lite... just had to remind my father that Bush didn't cut the FEMA budget. In fact, I rememded him that Bush had never veto'd ANY bill, much less a spending bill.
So much for that Dem talking point.
My Thanksgivings always involve interactions with moonbat in-laws and relatives. Mercifully this year they were silent for some reason.
Just when I thought I might walk out, the prayer turned to the NFL (for the Cowboys, of course) and then began once again on "those who have abandoned what they were taught about God's love" (also my family - pagans).
I wonder if the prayer was really like that or if it was what he heard instead. If it was really like that then I'd say it was out of line.
I actually make it a policy to generally not discuss politics - at the workplace especially, but also with friends and relatives where I know it will become contentious. They know it too, and abide by the same rule with me. Maybe some will consider it "not courageous," but I'd rather just enjoy a holiday meal, a casual phone call, etc. without the bickering. I save my commentary for you fine folks. :)
Nice to hear that the liberals seem to be in the minority in their families. lol
Not this Thanksgiving but last, my way liberal sister from Boulder, got drunk and was yelling in my back yard how she "luvs abortions". I kid you not. It was quite bizzare and embarrassing. I'm sure all my neighbors heard. Also she said something about how Carter was one of our Best Presidents. Again, not exaggerating.
I luv her dearly, but crimmony, she is a major moonbat.
... I realized that we liberals haven't the nuts to act upon supposed convictions and actually do it...
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
My Democrat father went into the whole Bush lied to get us into the war thing and the discussion grew a little heated the day after Thanksgiving. We finally ended the discussion agreeing on one thing and that is that Bush is misusing the National Guard who should be kept here, where they belong, guarding our borders.
Gosh. It's good to be a conservative. I had a great Thanksgiving! And I can't wait for Christmas. How can people be so unhappy on days that celebrate happiness, family, etc. Liberals are walking barrels of misery, I guess.
Those people got some serious freakin problems.
I found a topic my liberal dad and I both agreed on. We are both against intelligent design being forced into the science curriculum in schools. A refuge that, where we could finally agree on something. Well that and the local sports teams, of course.
I knew my liberal cousins would think they had found an ally in our Russian roomate and I wasn't disappointed but they were LOL.
only problem i had was my thug mexican wannabe cousin (irish-german heritage, looks really irish with red hair and pale skin) who kept trying to tell me how he liked that bush was so conservative.
i believe i made a post before thanksgiving that rather than having the conservative/ liberal debate at my house, we have the conservative/ ultra-conservative debates, with one moderate that is usually smart enough to keep her mouth shut.
Like most personal anecdotes on DU, this is one is mostly, if not completely, fiction.
LOL We have some screaming liberals in my family. I made a few Liberals mad enough to leave after I read a prayer I wrote myself. They didn't even have dinner.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Today all of us, my family & friends want to give you thanks for all things.
First, I want to thank you for your love, and giving us the gift to love others.
New love, and old love-- we are thankful for both. It is through this that all is possible.
I thank you for my family, my friends, kindred spirits, and even the people around the world who annoy me.
I thank you for my health, and the health of my loved ones.
I thank you for our Troops and Allies past and present-- it is because of them that we can FREELY gather here today.
I thank you for our leaders who make decisions important for our nations security; specially Dick Cheney.
Please gracious Lord, Bless us all -- as we share our bounty today, and give us the will to continue to share our bounties with those in need all the days that follow.
I ask you these things in Jesus name.
Amen
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone who had stayed past the prayer and eating my husband gave the rest of the liberals an exit by played "Bush Was Right". LOL
I was laughing so hard I almost peed my pants! I didn't even get to say goodbye to some of them.

Remnded me of an observation regarding Archie Bunker.
Everyone belittled Archie for his lack of education and his views but everyone sure knew how to live off his paycheck, for their food, their shelter, their heat, their water, etc.
Five uses of the F-word in these examples. Intellectuals possess a remarkably limited vocabulary. Thank goodness my lefty relatives all live in NY far, far away.
