My wife left me in 1973. Sometime in the 90's remarried a Canadian and has dual-citizenship. She votes in our elections absentee (liberal always). I'll bet when she really needs health care, I wonder if she'll pick the Canadian system/doctors or the U.S. system? Oh! That's right, they'll both be the same busted thing soon!
My daughter got propagandized in a liberal madrassa in Texas and all her degrees made her a liberal first class. She is not dead too me, but I'm considering estranging her. She loves Washington state and thinks socialism like the sophisticated Europeans have is just the ticket for us and also believes that when you have enough wealth, the rest should be taken away and redistributed... I'm glad she never married and glad she never reproduced.
You should tell her Obama has made you rethink your priorities, she should have no problem making it on her own in a changed society, and you plan to leave all your money and propertyy to UNICEF...”
On my next trip up to visit the fam, which I haven't made in a long while due to a lot of reasons, I will probably run into him. As long as he doesn't get preachy, it will be OK. I am leaning towards that he won't. Apart from having very little sense, he is fairly intellectual.
When he was a kid, he reminds me of a liberal Alex P. Keaton, complete with briefcase and NY Times. Once, I thought that was humorous, not any more.
