Got a good Reagan t-shirt you could wear that night?
That is now and always will be (if they continue to date) HER problem.
She’s 22. She’s going to get hurt a lot more times by a lot more people before she wises up. Nothing you can do about it.
Let her live it. Experience is the best teacher.
Tell him if he’s going to vote like a woman then he has to put the seat down.
I’ve seen something similar in people I know.
Newcomer to the fam is typical left-wing nitwit, repeats all the usual BushCheney fantasy stuff. I say little because he’s not smart enough to argue with, and anyway he’s a nice guy even if dim.
The guy starts, over time, to go to church because the fam does. Eventually gets saved. Gets tired of the dead-end jobs he’s been doing, winds up out in the oil fields, finds out that nothing he’s ever believed about the oil business was true.
Over time he starts talking like a Repub, and I never tried to convert him. Church+responsibility+real-world-experience. Works ninety percent of the time.
On the upside, maybe its just a sex thing and after a few months she will move on. No need to get out the big guns ‘cause she’s got a liberal boy toy.
If you love her, as you say you do, and I believe you, then you will confront her about this guy at the earliest convienient oppurtunity.
Just do it in the most loving, but firm, manner you can.
Do not hesitate!

Ya know, most trolls start out with the same line.
his favorite books were by Naomi Klein, Al Franken,
Nice, perhaps. Smart? The evidence suggests otherwise.
Embrace him. Treat him like a long lost relative ( because he could become one). Speak intelligently and in a moderate tone ( note the term tone not meaning content). Speak the truth in a measured and even manner. Do this every time you see him. Over time one of two things will happen 1) your sister will relize that he is a jerk or 2) he will realize that she is from a nutso family and leave her. Either way you have been polite. Moreover, there is just the chance that he will perhaps change his mind and then you have won.
You have no control over what this guys wants to believe. You should talk to your sister. She’s the one who has to be with him, not you.
Get him some cement shoes......One less idiot in the world!
My daughter, who is very conservative, dated a liberal for a while. It made family gatherings interesting. She eventually dumped him, because he’d gotten too clingy in the relationship, and she’d “had enough.” He did not take it well, at all.
Wow, tough position to be in. Perhaps offer that he lead the prayers before dinner . . . .
This song by Rodney Atkins sorta applies.
I’d play it all night on a continous loop....
Song: Cleaning This Gun (Come on in Boy)
The Declaration of Independence
Think I could tell you that first sentence
But then I’m lost
I can’t begin to count the theories
I’ve had pounded in my head
That I forgot
I don’t remember all that Spanish
Or the Gettysburg address
But there is one speech from high school
I’ll never forget
(Chorus)
Come on in boy sit on down
And tell me about yourself
So you like my daughter do you now?
Yeah we think she’s something else
She’s her daddy’s girl
Her momma’s world
She deserves respect
That’s what she’ll get
Ain’t it son?
Hey y’all run along and have some fun
I’ll see you when you get back
Bet I’ll be up all night
Still cleanin’ this gun
Well now that I’m a father
I’m scared to death one day my daughter
Is gonna find
That teenage boy I used to be
That seems to have just one thing on his mind
She’s growin’ up so fast
It won’t be long before
I’ll have to put the fear of god into
Some kid at the door
(Chorus)
Come on in boy sit on down
And tell me about yourself
So you like my daughter do you now?
Yeah we think she’s something else
She’s her daddy’s girl
Her momma’s world
She deserves respect
That’s what she’ll get
Now ain’t it son?
Y’all go out and have some fun
I’ll see you when you get back
Probably be up all night
Still cleanin’ this gun
Now it’s all for show
Ain’t nobody gonna get hurt
It’s just a daddy thing
And hey, believe me, man it works
(Chorus)
Come on in boy sit on down
And tell me about yourself
So you like my daughter do you now?
Yeah we think she’s something else
She’s her daddy’s girl
Her momma’s world
She deserves respect
That’s what she’ll get
Now ain’t it son?
Y’all run along and have a little fun
I’ll see you when you get back
Probably be up all night
Still cleanin’ this gun
Son, now y’all buckle up and have her back by te- let’s say about nine...thirty.
Drive safe.
Never mind. I see the Boss has already been by...
I don’t have the patience like some here ‘to be kind’ w/a lib in the room. I’d bring up politics and say ‘don’t you agree’. Then ask about abortion. I couldn’t help myself but to nail him for his commie beliefs; more so, if he’s dating a family member.
But don’t take my advice - I just can’t do the PC thing.
Tell him how and why big-government liberalism is failing all around the country. Depending on how indoctrinated he is you might get that “does not compute” look when you explain this. Who knows, maybe you’ll give him something to think about.
