I have been known to hammer some points home.. 4 years ago when hitlery was running I cane this close to getting into a fight. Some hitlery supporter confronted me when I spoke ill of her heinous.. 30 minutes later, after the blood vessels went down in my neck he said he would vote for Lazio and for me if I ever ran.. Sometimes a person has to get louder than them to get their attention. You can't let them intimidate you. I tell everyone, don't ask my opinion if you don't want to hear the truth.
Of all times, we had gathered in Florida in 1997 when the first of the 8 siblings passed away, and we were in a public restaurant when they chose to insult us - loudly...
All but one brother were dyed-in-the-wool-Ohio-Democrats and actually made very deliberately insulting comments to us and to Jerry and Faye, knowing the 4 of us were conservatives.
Whipped out their Democrat Party cards and praised Clinton and Hillary, etc.
We countered with asking if they approved of abortion - late-term abortion, homosexuality, etc., as the Catholics they were.
Made no difference, with them set in concrete, and overt hostility reigned in their talk.
With their misguided and haughty ilk, all you can do is pray they will one day let their minds open to truths...
We appreciate the distance between us, knowing if we ever moved back to Florida, there would eventually be blood shed..:))
