As a public service to our readers, and as a gesture towards civility in our national discourse, we offer the following how-to-guide for surviving Thanksgiving dinner at the home of your triumphant liberal relatives:
Arrival. “Your home looks lovely. Almost like it’s worth what you paid for it. Obama didn’t help with that yet, did he? Oh, well, maybe next term. May I use your bathroom?”
In the unlikely event that your host’s home has appreciated in value, use this introduction instead: “Love what you’ve done with it. Better dump it before the new year, though, or you might face that new Obamacare tax.” (Wait until after dinner to make a lowball offer.)

I have no liberal relatives or friends. All of my relatives are thinking people, not guided by emotions as are liberals. The majority of my friends are members of the church of Christ congregation that I attend or are from my Harding college days of years ago. They are all Constitutional Christian Conservatives, 100% pro-gun (our preacher proudly carries a gun to services as do most of us in the congregation) and 100% uniform in opposition to all forms of communistic liberalism.
From my perspective, liberalism and satanism are identical. Since I have no satanist friends or relatives, it makes no sense to tolerate anyone who hews to the values of liberalism. In short, I shun evil.
“Don’t go.”
That’s the way we handle it....Fortunately 95% of all my family did not vote for Obamagabe.....The early 20 somethings cannot be reached.....Two of them.....
Save Thanksgiving and improve the gene pool at the same time by not marrying into that crowd.
Their excuse for that is “He was busy cleaning up Bush’s mess.” (They really believe this.) I do sometimes smile gently and say “Well, he’s definitely done for America what he did for Chicago.” Then I refuse to elucidate further. That always makes them scowl.
On the subject of tatoos, I recently read that the number of people with tatoos and the number of atheists/nonbelievers was about the same, 16%. ;-)
Problem solved.
I don’t associate with communists. I have a couple of relatives - I don’t talk with them or associate with them in any way. There is no such thing as a friend who is a communist, in my book. A friend will look out for a friend, and not harm you - how can a friend be a communist? It would be like saying, I have a friend in the KGB, or a friend who is a concentration camp guard, really? A “friend”?
Then there are those who agree with me politically but sit silently and watch it happen. I'd just rather not be around any of them and I don't want my wife around them either.
Forgot the most important line in being around liberal reletives (if yoyu must), “I’ll have another drink please”.
Believe me, I speak from experience. After five or six they become almost tolerable.
Defriend and stay the hell away because they are taking us all down with them.
They need to have tats like all their friends to show what nonconformists they are.
Dittos and greetings from the other side of the Red River.
Already done. I have nothing to do with the more insane of the bunch and little to do with their defenders.
I’m taking our new shipment of Rush’s Two If By Tea to our Thanksgiving get together, but we are all conservatives. Consider taking a six pack of Rush’s tea to dinners with lib relatives.
Seriously, the best rebuke for lib relatives is to take advantage of time’s wear on us all —just continue to try to live as honorable, humble, traditional Christian Americans year after year after year, whoever is President, whatever the season, whatever the economy. Help serve; help with the dishes. Don’t sit around and whine. Don’t get drunk. Remember your blessings. Find joy in the day spent with the ones you love.
And it’s amusing to me that they believe they are being so edgy and rebellious while conforming to the crowd all doing the exact same “non-conformist” thing. I wonder if they’re 100% sure of what those Asian symbols/letters they get tattoed on themselves really mean. For all they know, they’re running around announcing “I’m a goober” in Chinese.
One acronym will kill their Obama buzz when uttered: ACORN
After explaining Obama’s role in ACORN during his community organizing days and votes as Senator, I don't suffer fools as that propaganda gets thoroughly diffused. They return to their corner talking about the newest ‘People’ or ‘Us’ magazine tripe.
I agree. Leftists these days (and they’re leftists, they’re not “liberal”) aren’t just people with a different view, they’re evil. I can’t be friends with evil people, therefore I don’t associate with leftists. Fortunately none of my relatives are leftists, or I’d cut them (socially speaking) in a heartbeat.
Exactly. I had a discussion with a nephew who, on his 18th birthday rushed out and got one of the ugliest full-chest tattoos I have ever seen. He said it was his way of showing his "individuality". I told him if he wanted to do that he could have NOT done what all his friends have done and wasted his money on an ugly tattoo. His parents both said they didn't like it but that he was now an adult and they could not stop him. I asked them who paid for it and how he got there. They paid and they gave him a ride. Yes, they are liberals.
They aren’t invited this year
