That's the best approach. Why confront and attempt to sway those within your circle when you can bitch on the 'Fire.

My father was a liberal until age 40. He died at 90, 3 years ago.
If we said, "Hey Dad, Obama is President.."
He would scream back, "I BLAME BUSH!"

Same here, and the worst are these liberal idiots that think they aren't. The 'fire is full of them.


The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

"Don't ask; don't tell" at my family gatherings too. My wife and I are a easily a distinct minority and all know it.

Most have learned to not broach politics or liberalism with me anymore.

3 of us with a functioning brain out af a pack of 23 in total. My wife wonders why I dislike heading back east! At least last night we were able to go out with old friends and have intelligent conversations. As the old adage goes, you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family!

One out of 14.
My mother in law.

I really pissed her off at the end of my mealtime prayer when I asked the Lord to help our country defeat Hillary Clinton.

I can just now feel my toes after the wife stomped her high heel into my foot under the table... cry

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

My wife has an aunt and uncle that are official Obama fart smellers card carring members. They think Obama is the best Christian ever and Regan was the antichrist. I hate being around them.

I don't know about how things work in your neck of the woods, but around here the dog is clearly benefiting from some sort of entitlement program. I guess it's a good thing he doesn't vote...

I had a Jewish attorney fly all the way from New York City to my house in Seattle, to celebrate Christmas by telling me that another reason for shutting down Walmart is that they sell ammo.

Why put up with liberal BS?

I will put up with liberals to be around my grandkids.

Yes, I will open my door to anti gun, negro worshipping, collectivist liberal relatives and in-laws, if grandkids are coming in that door too.

I didn't take a survey but there was a mix of Red, Blue, and I Don't Give a [bleep] present. Everyone had enough sense to know that they were at a Christmas not a political debate so no issues.

Out of about 25 people we had 2 democrats. My mother inlay and her husband. There is a college grad that is a liberal too. He walked away a bit more conservative when my BIL asked Josh if he wants to go out and shoot his new CC 40 cal Smith. Sure, he said. He is about 24 yrs old, never shot guns much but was very happy to do so. He will get a talking to about how Hillary thinks you do not have the mental capacity to shoot or own a gun. My Niece, 15 shot a gun for the first time. She really liked it, enough that I told her she can come by and shot the wives little Ruger SR 22. sometime. She said she will and had fun.

Never discussed BUT we know who they are. Typically younger females with student loans.

BTW they could really care less about the issues or global affairs. And their beliefs are really conservative.

Very confusing....so again...not discussed.

We had ZERO, but there were only 3 of us.

Wasn't it Churchill who said something like "If you are under 30 and not a liberal, you have no heart - if you are over 40 and not a conservative, you have no brain." ???

I have found the best approach to larger family gatherings is to never discuss religion or politics PERIOD.
