I made a remark about "liberal Democrats" at the dinner table the other night and my "liberal" cousin just went beserk. She was yelling, screaming, pounding the table and then left the room and slammed the door.
Why are "liberals" so un-liberal? Why are they such intolerant fascists? Not very Christian of them.
None of my "liberal" relatives will discuss "politics" with me. What this means is that they just don't want to hear another point of view.
I know what you mean. I am surrounded by them. They do not want to hear anything that contradicts them. Facts do not matter either.
It is the same in my family...my Aunt and her brothers were the type that drove vw vans around Europe during Vietnam. They only discuss politics when it is all libs in the room. When my Uncle or I am around, all conversation seems to cease. I guess I have a nasty habit of listening to their point of view and then asking them to back their statements up with facts and figures. I always let them know that we can go upstairs and search on the internet if they like. I actually look forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas now more than ever...albeit for maybe some of the wrong reasons...lol
