If you have a t-shirt with Che Guevara on it wear the thing for the leftist relative.

I am talking about Dead Che laying on the slab.

Oh no-— don’t do that to the poor kid! He might need councelling!

One year, we said no politics, but one lib niece couldn’t help but mention Barbara Bush and her stupid pearls! The same lib niece who spouted off about guns being so terrible, until I told her to put up a sign on her door — saying that it was a gun-free house.

Too funny. I've got a passel of liberal-minded relatives to contend with on the holidays and they are so easy to shoot down. For instance, one of them was going on about how Donald Trump's tweet the other day about black on black murders was completely discredited. So I asked her what the percentage of murders was that was black on black. She had no answer for me except to maintain that Trump's statistics were wrong and so that made him a racist. I told her to get back to me when she could tell me the actual stats and back them up to a valid source.

It's also telling that even though I'm the "black sheep" conservative in the family, I'm always the one hosting the holidays because I have the nicest house, stocked with copious amounts of fine food and drink. Certainly they are not going to be able to host anything in their ratty apartments. Not that I mind hosting but just goes to show you that for all the protesting and lecturing that the "Occupy" generation does about "white privilege", in the end, they always end up coming home to their older relatives in their suburban paradise.

I also got a kick out of that Democrat Party talking points website for that "Republican uncle" at the dinner table (I guess that would be me!) . It was so lame.

For instance, they have a talking point for a Republican uncle who would purportedly say "Gee, that Jeb Bush knows what's good for the economy."

Hell, if that gets said at my table, even I'm getting up and leaving!

I’ve been to a few Turkey Days when some of the left-wing visitors started yapping about evil Republicans. I used to argue, but now I just keep my mouth shut. In my experience it’s far more likely those of the leftist persuasion will try to start something.

The truth is, no one wants to talk about politics on Thanksgiving. The myth that most family holidays are insufferable is foisted on us by the bitter Left.

That is true. When that www.yourrepublicanuncle.com story broke, I got angry. Then I went to a Democrat web page dedicated to it, and most of THEM found it offensive.

I wish my aunts and uncles were still around. The last thing I'd ever do is try to argue with them.

I don’t shy away from getting in to it with family, friends, or foes, even at Thanksgiving if they dare bring up politics. Once you point out today’s big government tax & spend statist liberalism has been one huge failure with the massive trillions in debt that has come with it (and remind them 0bama will own about half of that failure when he leaves office).

I also tell them if today’s liberalism was such a good thing, we wouldn’t have this massive debt that threatens to destroy this once great nation if we continue to go down this path. I just usually end up getting that blank stare from them or they drop the conversation in a hurry, lol.

Today’s liberalism/progressivism has been one huge failure and I’m not afraid to tell them that and why.

Wow, a lot of you guys in the first posts are just responding with joke hatred and violence. I am always surrounded by libs at big family events. If some political difference comes up, I enjoy meeting them in the true exchange of ideas, because in truth, conservativism always wins. I don’t ever fight or argue with my family and friends, but I gently talk about freedom. It’s what I would die for, along with of course my children. I believe in it, and even though the names don’t match up, it’s why I’m a conservative. I can also say that I love the constitution.

That usually gets a discussion going with a few, others will assume I am crazy because of course liberals are more free because they love pot and transgender. Bye, who wants to talk to superficials like that anyway. The ones that are interested are usually the libertarians, and we can talk and agree on many points, and if they get to the few where I disagree (like foreign affairs), I tell them why, and it’s at least interesting, and they get where I am coming from.

Now, new this year, I am finally smart enough to also tell them I hate republicans in DC as much as democrats, that to me they are part of the same oligarchy, owned by interests that are entirely separate from those of the People they are sworn to represent.

You may end up closer to people, and they might understand you better, if you try my way. I’d rather have people understand where I’m coming from than just think of me as a right wing freak.

But not many have open enough minds.

Since retirement 5 years ago, my wife and I spend our Thanksgivings by ourselves on the farm. Friends here have their family get-togethers and our relatives live 2,000 miles away. We don't even cook a special meal. The day is like any other with chores and projects to attend to around the homestead.

But when we lived in Arizona before retiring, everyone in the family came to our home for the day. Kids, grandkids, grandparents, aunts and uncles all would show up. We believe Thanksgiving is a day to gives thanks to our Lord for his blessings, not to complain about what you don't have or to argue about what is wrong in your life. So even though we only had a couple of liberal types in the entire group, no one dared argue politics or religion at the function. It wasn't appropriate. Everyone was civil and friendly and we always enjoyed a good time by setting tone and the basic ground rule that it was a day to give thanks for our blessings.

I have a few... that voted for Obama twice. They even lost jobs had layoffs. Now, they actually think someone is a woman hater if they don’t vote for the witch. They also think Hillary will have an economy like slick Willy. It is frightening.

Pull my shirt up and drape it over my gun to make it open carry - then tell them their opinions can wait until dessert and coffee and be restricted to the safe area at the end of the driveway (which is 100 yards long).
