The libs can shovel this drivel, while I shovel the mashed potatoes.

Happy Thanksgiving, kristinn.

Time for more White House freeps soon, methinks.

I told my two liberal relatives that if they start with this Obamacare is the best thing crap.....Stay home! I’d don’t want to spoil the Thanksgiving feast with a fight... Of course they’re coming... Have you ever known a liberal turn down anything free?

How explain the Left’s love affair with Islam?

IMO they share a common enemy: Christ Jesus.

They sure do.

Battle of Vienna 1673—340 years ago.

Looks like they are spoiling for another lesson.

Hey, Abdul, here—have a croissant.

“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 would add that they should have their teeth knocked out and then be thrown out the door! I have had enough of these people and their BS! Today I have a zero tolerance policy. If they open their mouths, I will shut them and they will be eating through a straw for 3 months! Basta!! Enough!!

It is setting up straw man arguments. Not getting to the real meat of the arguments. Typical liberal thinking.

It will be interesting to see whether there is an uptick in domestic violence today over previous years.

Forty years ago, if you said that with Nixon's name, liberal heads around the table would explode.

Simply tell them that, thanks to Obamacare, it is more likely that their inheritance will now have to be spent on higher premiums and deductibles that your insurance USED to cover.

IOW....if you support Obama......

I love that one too!

And “everyone hates insurance companies, right?”

Well if they hate insurance companies just wait until they see Government Health Care.

Ask them how that preventive care is “free”. If I slug Tom and take his cash and give it to Jerry, did Jerry really receive “free” money? Didn’t Tom have to earn that money? When the government takes money from a taxpayer to pay a physician to treat someone else, is that person receiving “free” healthcare? Didn’t the taxpayer have to earn that money? And when they tell a physician that she can only charge $250 for a $500 procedure, didn’t the government just steal $250 from the physician? The procedure still “cost” $500, but the Democrats just stole $250 to buy a vote. There is no such thing as free healthcare or “reduced pricing” healthcare. Healthcare costs what it costs. It’s just a matter of whether the money goes to the healthcare providers or the Democrat party.

I am the one who is going to bring up Obamacare today and I’m going to harp on it and proclaim it as DISASTER.
They can kick me out if they want.
Geez folks lets go on offensive. This is a perfect opportunity to wake our liberal family members up!

My family raised us with manners. We never discuss politics or religion at ‘mixed’ family gatherings. Sometimes I discuss politics with them away from the table, but we just respectfully disagree. I can’t believe the people wanting a frikkin’ confrontation at a time of reflection and giving thanks and gratitude for our bountiful blessings.

I feel the same way. I don’t talk to libs, family or not. I’m happier that way.
