Ouch! Sorry to hear that. My parents were hardcore leftists too.

How does one grow up to have politics that are vastly different than their folks? I mean... I grew up hearing discussion, arguing with my dad, who would always win, and I ended up with politics very similar to his...

Is it just a rebellion thing? I rebelled in other ways.... Like by not becoming an accountant LOL...

Mine is just the opposite.My father had such a dislike for FDR that he would never pronounce his name correctly,said it like Root only with an "s"instead of the "t".

I'm sure you will instruct them and guide them, kindly but gently to see the error of their ways! I know my grandparents were on this "Roosevelt" kick (best President their ever was), when I tried to explain when Carter was President and the mortgage rate on my house was 17%! that perhaps, you know, he wasn't doing all that good. I was told "history will prove out what a great President he is". haha, well history has not quite proven that out, I'm sure he's a wonderful individual, but a great President he was not!
