Ignore the parents. I got saved and joined a baptist church 14 years ago and I have family members that are still pissed off about it.

If there's one thing I've learned, don't bother trying to satisfy everyone in your family. It can't be done.

When around Dimocrat I do not speak about anything outside of children, food, or weather.

If they push the issue I call them uniformed boobs and move on.

I read this last week. I think these on-line advice columns are all bunk, this reads like some kind of joke. Do people really believe these columns?

Taken with a grain of salt.
Bogus column trying to be cute.

My reply to my similar family members: “Two words: JIMMY CARTER.” Never fails to shut them up.

I don’t care if someone mocks my politics, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid give me all the satisfaction I need to know that while the party I am part of is not perfect, its certainly the better selection of the two.

Being mocked by people you don’t respect, is not an insult, its a compliment.

My husband and I are the lone Conservative Republicans in a sea of extended family libtard moonbats. It can make holiday get-togethers a bit interesting, but at the end of the day, we're all still family.

Of course, we may squabble about ideology, but if it ever got intensely personal -- venturing into personal insult -- you can bet I'd have sharp words for the insulter.
