My wife is fine, but her brother is an absolute moron. He just left after a visit, and I had to hear him pontificate about when we fight terrorists we become our own worst enemies. I couldn't help it, I just had to tell him that he was woefully misinformed and not capable of making moral judgments as, along with much of the country, he does not believe there is a GOOD and an EVIL. Needless to say, his visit did not end on a positive note. I feel so bad I told him off, even if he is a fornicating cretin. What do you think Dr. Laura would say to me?

Now that I think about it, I guess I should have paid more attention to my own tag-line.

Forget it, I get the same thing with my dad. I can stomach only so much before I explode. I remind him that responding to tyranny has been a necessary action since man has been on the planet. They say stupid stuff like "give peace a chance" or war is wrong, or America is the world cop. I remind him that the Romans battled the barbarian hordes, the Spanish had to fight the moors, the WWII generation had to fight Hitler, etc etc. It makes me boil!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe you answered your own question.

Maybe he had it coming.

Maybe no one else would be honest with him and it was long overdue.

Maybe you could apologize for the tone but not the content.

I'd suggest: Pray, discuss with spouse, see if you need to write anything or just forget it.

Sounds like my Sister-in-law. She wants anybody but Bush because he "had a C-average" in college. She went ballistic when i told her the Goron flunked out of divinity school ;-).

Listen to your tagline.
