Maybe I'm missing something but if the writer of this post is deaf, how is it that he can remember the conversation around the dinner table so vividly?

Anyway, I have had similar experiences with people from the left. They assume right off the bat that I am one of them (probably because I'm a lifetime Massachusetts resident), but as soon as I reveal my conservative leanings, they turn cold and even hateful towards me. Even though I never give them any grief for their opinions.

It is true that is is the liberals who are truly hateful and intolerant people. Almost as a rule.

You are so right. It is the libs who are absolutely intolerant of anyone who isn’t exactly brainwashed to their personal standards.

Body language, reading lips, and somesuch, sir.

Actually in real life, it's pretty pathetic. I was there for three hours, and a lot was said, but those few points were the only things I could grasp.

I'm always kicking myself for the 90% that I do miss.
