My father is a liberal. Last night I had a brief political conversation with him. It was as usual all ad homiens on his part, he called Obama a ‘’gentleman’’ and everything in the last four years has been ‘’Bush’s fault’’. And as usual before I could get a word in he didn’t want to hear anymore and even though I persisted he hung up the phone on me. This is my own father. My two younger brothers are libs and the one behaves much the same way but a little more politely. My youngest brother is a different story. He’s vulgar and pugnacious and the truth is I hate him. We’re it to come down to it I punch in the mouth or worse. I actually hate him and since my mother is dead these six years he could join her for all I care. This is how bad things are in my own family. For any other liberal they’d better not cross my path. This is war.
My oldest son is a liberal but he likes to talk and hear my opinions. We disagree on some things but not all. We politely agree to disagree. I know him well, and in speaking to him I find that sooner or later he will see the light. I will always keep the lines of communication open. He lives in Chicago....nuff said.
I hope that sooner or later your family sees the light. You don’t have to apologize for the way you feel, just don’t let them make you lose your soul.
I understand your frustration. If you understand that there is no cure for stupidity you would be willing to forgive your family because you would realize that they do not have the mental capacity to make the right decision.
