A Bit of Sarah Palin's Advice mixed with MestaMachine on how to deal with that situation.

“Yes, and if some so-called “progressive” member of the family brings up Obama’s Thanksgiving table talking points, then they should...”

be told to leave and escorted to the door.

I think that the democrats need a 55 gallon drum of lipstick for this pig.

If I had a lib relative trying to argue Obamacare with me on Thanksgiving, I’d give him a ‘turkey-baster enema’.

Heard some of this yesterday. Do these asshats really think that folks will be doing this? They are really losing it. I also saw(I think somewhere on FR) that the nannie bloomers MAIGgots also have a guide to persuading your errant relatives to give up their evil guns during your Thanksgiving political discussions. These asshats know no shame.

I didn’t invite any lefties to our Thanksgiving Dinner. They don’t celebrate the day, when smoking their pot under the bridge, or taking government bribes.

I mean, not really, so far. It is still too early to tell, and most Americans believe that the law hasn’t affected them at all. Many of those Americans could be incorrect, as the law has changed how insurance companies treat all of us, regardless of whether we purchase individual insurance or receive it through an employer, but right now “Obamacare” doesn’t mean much to most people. (If you want to run through the benefits, there’s the insurance for young adults through their parents thing, and the preexisting conditions thing, lots of preventative care things are now “free,” and some prescription drugs are cheaper for people on Medicare.) But yes, the law has its flaws, in its construction and its execution, but so far those flaws aren’t really hurting very many people.

Other than having their insurance cancelled by the millions, being forced into far more expensive plans with worse benefits, not having their preferred doctors available on the new plans, and... Oh, right, and a massive expansion of people sponging off the taxpayers.

ask the democrats :

Why do you trust government?

ask them that in front of everyone at the dinner table.

and also :

why is it so cold on Thanksgiving when your news media and your government have been yelling “global warming” for 30 years? still trust gov and the news media?

This piece could more accurately be entitled “Defending the Indefensible.”

[Drango]

Salon still publishing?

[PLD]

I do not argue with anyone on any HOLIDAY,it sure would not be a conservative if I did..I find that the ones that like to argue are the filthy democrats..Like my son-in-law and his NEW AGE FAMILY..the creeps that voted for the Muslim Communist..

I read something at the Huffington Post yesterday that said this was a really bad idea.

[Undecided 2012]

I had a belly laugh just reading the headline. I don’t need to read the article.

[blueunicorn6]

Well, so far, it looks like the responses are “It’s somebody else’s fault” and “It’s really not that bad”. Those are always winning arguments.

[SERKIT]

This is a great example of the Obama Minions trying, in vain, to polish turds.

[rockrr]

Oh man I sure do hope that I encounter someone stupid enough to attempt these stalking points.

[Mr. K]

" So, yes, Obama lied when he said “you can keep your plan,” or at least he omitted all these caveats that he probably assumed were implied in his statement, but the actual villain here, as always, is insurance companies. (No one likes insurance companies, right? Here you can feel free to agree that a healthcare reform bill that relies so heavily on private insurance companies is inherently flawed, it’s too bad we can’t just have Medicare for everyone!) "

Bingo! Single Payer (a nice-sounding name for Government Heath Care) is their dream

[who knows what evil?]

I do not allow left-wing marxist trash into my home voluntarily under any circumstance...I don’t care who they are.

When I finally realized that I had little in common with my liberal relatives I stopped associating with them. Last year when my cousin came out of the closest it was the last straw. No liberals at my Thanksgiving this year.
