Our son flew back from LV to spend the holiday with us. Monday being our anniversary, we waited until last night to celebrate with him. Tonight, with my wife closing the store, he and I headed for our local pizza restaurant where I introduced him to the owner and we spent 3 great hours trading stories, enjoying a few beers, and having fun. Tomorrow, he and I are doing the stuffing and cheddar potatoes while my wife does the turkey. Others are bringing the balance of the feast.
Why people want to grumble and go crazy over this holiday, when it makes it possible for family to get together in love, is beyond me. My son is more liberal than I am, but he’s younger and is coming around. One of the people we spent time with tonight is pretty liberal, but it was spent in old stories and good friendship.
People like these DUmmies show just how insignificant they are to human interaction. !!HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! to all, and to all a safe holiday.
These braggards are always the ones who sit at the table stuffing their faces with food other people bought and prepared, and saying nothing whatever. They leave all their so-called courage at their computer keyboards.
Ahhhh...the classic!
Fra-gee-lee.
Gotta get it out and watch once again or it won’t seem like
the holidays! :)
There, being extremely non-PC, I just had to fix that for you. Apologies if you had more kind thoughts........
I have a niece and nephew who are leftists. She is mostly apolitical and he’s just a skull~of~mush. Three years ago he ‘found’ his voice in the wake of Øbozo’s imaculation and launched into a pipsqueak tirade at the dinner table.
We let him go on, partly because we were impressed that he would stand up to an entire house full of conservatives, and partly for the amusement factor that we saw in store.
After he wore himself out with his boasts that “a new day had dawned” (and all that crap) one of my brothers asked him for predictions. Naturally they were all pie in the sky. Then we each took a turn offering up assessments of what we thought one year, two years, and three years might look like.
Not one thing did he get right.
We reassessed the next Thanksgiving and had some fun at his expense. He hasn’t attended since.
I miss messing with him ;-)
BTTT
Happy Thanksgiving.
Too many pearls here to pick just one!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and all. :)
Just... wow. So, the whole family thinks different than you two and yet THEY are the wingnuts? It's probably good that you ARE staying home.
You can't just talk about football and Christmas or what's been going on and avoid politics for a 3 or 4 hour visit? That pretty sad...and pathetic.
I have a cousin on Facebook that I am about to unfriend for the 3rd time because the guy is Dem Underground politics every freakin' post. He just can't take a day off.
I feel sorry for people like that.
Isn’t that child abuse - having kids listen to Libs at their kid’s table? I’d put them at thetown dump.
Some electric brownie's could go a long way. Or electric popcorn - made with special butter.Okaaaay?!? I'm sure that means something.
btw Charles, great graphic. Can't recall ever seeing it.
[A Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours :-)]
Yup, take those DUmmie talking points from chriss tingles matthews. That'll show 'em. I'm glad we don't have any left wing lunatics to deal with on holidays.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
You should offer him money to attend, it would be entertaining to get his current predictions.
Hash or weed mixed in with the brownies would be my guess.
My problem wasn’t politics at Thanksgiving. It was TOOOOOO MANY people. Originally it was just my wife, me, and 5 in-laws. Then my wife invited her friend and her husband PLUS their parents. I threw a fit since I am the one doing the cooking and one turkey wouldn’t have been enough. Also several tables would have been needed and the whole place would have been overcrowded. Fortunately, my wife’s friends decided not to come (WHEW!) so now there will only be 7 of us. So that is my Thanksgiving...giving THANKS that too many many people will NOT be showing up.
Just a thought but maybe everyone could put politics aside for a couple of hours and be thankful for everything they have?
That’s my rule. If any of these peckerheads in the DU thread pulled this crap at my gathering, they go out the door. I’ll still give them food, but theirs would be “to go” on a paper plate with plastic silverware and paper napkins.
That’s why nobody ever gets into it at my gatherings.
Sounds good to me. What time’s dinner and what can I bring?
Almost all my old friends are liberals (I evolved, they stayed the same). I enjoy arguing with them and they with me. It never gets rancorous. I mostly ask questions until I’ve led them into some logically impossible position and then just let the truth sink in. They’re usually pretty good natured about being completely wrong. Lately they’ve been complaining about Obama, so I’ve switched to playing devil’s advocate and pointing out all the big liberal projects he’s gotten going like collectivized medical care. They’re starting to grasp that buyer’s remorse is real.
