While I had my own (and largely non-conservative) opinions when I was in my early 20s, it would have struck my as unbelievably rude and presumptuous to study up on the “lies and distortions” that my older relatives believed in order to be more argumentative at Thanksgiving. The sheer arrogance and lack of class that liberals operate under while retaining the most self-righteous demeanor is breathtaking. I’d have been embarrassed to even consider using a family holiday as a way to “educate my elders”.

My liberal cousins are already feeling a little put out because my grandmother wants a special day with my sisters and I next week. She has terminal cancer and wants to spend some time with those of us who are oldest and closest to her without the political sniping.

One reason is the fact that my sisters and I are the ones who stayed and grew up in our little hometown and saw our grandparents every day. The rest of them were raised in liberal hell holes like Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo, and Minneapolis, so all things are liberal politics to them.

This is so true, in my 20s I wouldn't have dreamed of starting an argument with my relatives at a holiday gathering. I seems like this kind of "in your face" liberalism was started under James Carvelle and the Clinton administration, and went into hyper-drive under Axelgrease and the "community organizer". It's a truly disgusting form of the liberal politics 24/7 , non stop campaigning that Husein practiced for four years (when he wasn't golfing).

Just the first sentence in the article

...Americans will soon have to face their extended families and listen to them talk. For many young Americans — specifically young Americans related to old white Americans —

really put me off, and showed that the left is ALWAYS in attack mode just like their Communist forebears.
