I often wonder whether its harder to be an older American with conservative values and principles that has seen the liberal scumbags rise up and sabotage the country...or a 32 year old conservative like myself that is surrounded by a generation of hippie, freeloading wackos who are too stupid to understand the basic tenets of freedom, the Constitution and the common sense solutions that have made the United States the most powerful country in the history of the world.
Its particularly difficult when it comes to dating and finding compatibility because there are SO many young angry ranting liberal women that have simply been brainwashed into believing the United States is an evil country and they should be given some type of handout.
For example, as much as I try to pre-screen dates to eliminate the leftist loonies, sometimes you just make a mistake. I was talking to a 27 year old woman and she mentioned that we were pretty different politically because she was a big Democrat and thought that the country needed change. So here's my question-when these kooks say "change" what exactly are these Dumbcrats referring to??
Higher taxes? More welfare? More entitlements? Open borders? Less military? More global warming garbage regulations? Less free speech? Do they all suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome?
I don't know where these people come from and how they end up so stupid but its really frustrating to feel like I'm on an island surrounded by nothing but fruits and nuts. Maybe its the schools who teach much less history today and hire nothing but union goofs to teach our kids. Much of my generation has no common sense. Today I heard that a bunch of HS kids in Iowa were protesting the war by staging a laydown to signify all the soldiers in Iraq that have been killed. My question is...where do they come up with these ideas?

Prayers to mom - sounds very familiar but I lost mine last year.
Good post. ...and good work bringing your hubby around to political sanity. Was it a long process, or did he catch on fairly quickly?
Yep. I’d rather be single than with some “Anny”
Oh, I can’t really take credit for it. He listened to Rush. Plus, he graduated college & entered the real world. It was a very short conversion. I just hope I was a small influence.
Why would anyone, woman or otherwise hate art?
Perhaps I should have said “hates going to museums and viewing paintings/sculptures/etc.” I get so bored I want to gouge my eyes out.
Sadly, I'm in that age group you describe (and in your state, as well) and I note that a lot of people my age are, like you said, woefully uninformed. They don't have opinions of their own, only those of the media. People my age give no thought to anything except to where they're going this weekend - with no thought of the effort that is required to earn the right to enjoy the weekend. Many of them are 30-going-on-16...it's tragic, really.
(answer:) Away from Republicans, toward Democrats.
