    Default My intolerant liberal realitives

    The latest is my niece Amy. She got married a few years back and that lasted about 6 months. It was rather surprising, since she's the oldest of five and has always been the most stable. Her hubby was smoking dope so she tossed him out, at least that's the story we were told. Later on it turns out that she decided that she was gay.

    On facebook she posts that a family member is emailing her with offensive political messages. I'm sure that everyone thinks its me but I don't even have her email address. So I re-post a photoshop of the Charlotte convention center with a toilet seat as a "new retractable roof" and ask her "like this?" Her response was to un-friend me.

    As usual, those who claim to be open-minded, unassuming and tolerant are the exact opposite.

    My husband's side of the family are all serious Orange County Republicans. Never voted for a Dem candidate or issue in their lives.
    I get along with them because we never discuss politics.
    One of my husband's uncles came by for our Labor Day cook out. Asked my daughter if she liked Romney or Obama better.
    My daughter, in her 11 year old wisdom, replied that "politics is stupid. And it's boring."

    Somehow I doubt my daughter will follow in her mom's footsteps as a political activist.

    Most of my family is trailer trash high school dropouts. They usually vote Democrat, but refuse to vote for a colored guy in the White House. They are what I call Clinton voters: the ones that eat up the "Astroturf in the El Camino" schtick that think the Lewinsky scandal shows he's "a regular guy". They get pushed to the Republican candidate only when the Democrat supports "weirdos" like gays, colored, sluts or dope smokers. I don't have much to do with them because they are not my class of people.

    I think it was an uncle that told me how he "showed them Orientals" in WWII.

    Mu family is divided between union Dems, and Republicans.
    The more educated ones are Republicans.
    Go figure.

    Perhaps you are right. I didn't start caring about politics until I was in high school.

    It is funny you post this, I have seen this very scenario played out a number of times with family and friends who have had this happen to them. The tolerant left are very INTOLERANT.. Unless of course you agree with everything they say yo are just stupid and misguided and gullible. They on the other hand befriend you when you point out they may be mistaken!!

    This reminds me of an email I got


    While speaking with a friend's son, I asked what he wanted to be when he grew up.
    Tom proudly announced, "I want to be President!"

    This caused his parents, both of whom are liberal Democrats, to beam with pride.

    I then inquired, "If you become President, what is the first thing you would do?"

    Tom replied, "I would give houses to all homeless people."

    "That is a worthy goal," I said, "but you don't have to wait until you're President to do that. I have lots of yard work and painting that needs to be done. I need a couple of sheds built, too. It's a lot of work, but I will pay you $10,000 for doing it. I'll then take you to see a homeless man so you can give him the money to help him buy a home."

    Tom's mother glared at me and demanded, "My son is busy. Why don't you just pay the homeless guy to do the work?"

    I smiled and said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

    His parents have stopped speaking to me
