Dad: USAF, R, Texas,OCS, agnostic. Mom: USN, D, Mass., Wellesley, Catholic. By the time Dad died, he was Catholic and Mom was Republican. She told me never give up my principles.
Hubby is not evil just misguided.
As a military brat, I had no leftist cultural upbringing, spent the 60's overseas and did not see bigotry until 1970, also never saw a Jane Fonda film til college. But highlights of Enlightenment...Reagan in '76,McNelly cartoons (now sadly missed), "Witness" by Chambers, C.S. Lewis and oddly enough Malcolm Muggeridge on Buckley.
Seeds of doubt for spouse- voted for Jesse Jackson and now has to live with himself, had to explain to minor children that oral sex is sex, September 11th, saw Kristinn at patriots rally II on cspan and was impressed. (In his world, except for me and Kristinn, Republicans are just hateful hating racist war mongers.)
Sounds like a wonderful upbringing, Dutchgirl. I'm betting on you....give your hubby a few years of holding out at the most (depending on the war). (^:
