This is the mindset of my own mother. Extremely liberal and adores Obama. When there is something she doesn’t like her reaction is “someone should make that illegal.” Or one day, I brought up the name Rush Limbaugh and she said he should be arrested for opening his mouth despite NEVER listening to anything he said. But what can you expect from a liberal whose only source of news is The View.
Some people love the “it’s the law!” mantra. I tell them that a truly mature person recognizes that if some politicians pass a law that is immoral or unjust, one does not have to advocate or abide it. Unfortunately, many people never reach that maturity.
Of course it may not be a good idea to say to your mom, lol.
I truly have sympathy for you. No offense, but, how often have you thought to yourself ‘how on Earth did I grow up to NOT think so blindly and illogically as her?’.
Goes back to one of my understandings from the Old Testament how every son or daughter - every person - stands or falls in Life, and is accountable before the Lord as an individual, not as a clone of their parents.
You’re here on FR! Makes my point!
