Family political divisions are always sad and volatile issues that can only lead to anger and hostility.

That’s why I enjoy them so much.

I don’t see Trump going after “gay marriage” like Godzilla, maybe one of the few things he wouldn’t easily deliver to us. However, between Trump and Mike Pence, it’s probably going to get shoved as far into the closet as it can be. Very robust religious freedom protections. Mike remembers the pain of what they did to him on that in Indiana. Now he’s the vice head honcho and he’ll get his.

I think that petunia should talk to Milo Yiannopolous.

VA, CO, and NV are in need of major re-evaluation by Republican candidates, or they are to be lost forever.

VA got the felon vote mass restoration (without even asking them)
CO got the mile high city now 2 miles high thanks to the pot
NV got sin city, that doesn’t know where to stop

But nothing is impossible with God.

The VAGOP is still controlled by the Cheap Labor Express.
The last two Senate races were winnable, but they insisted on amnesty supporting candidates, leftover Bushie Gillespie and previously defeated Sen. Macaca.
Unless we can nominate a real conservative against the wishes of the party poohbahs, there isn’t much hope of VA electing a GOP Senator.
The VAGOP is trying to saddle us with amnesty-lover Gillespie for the Gov. race next year, which should be winnable following Clinton’s Bag Man.

Dennis Prager has a great explanation of the contradiction liberals have when using “Are you on the wrong side of history?”

For those who disagree with them at home, they say “you’re on the wrong side of history” on the view that socialism, their ideology, will be dominant and triumphant, so just shut up and surrender now.
For those abroad, when they do nothing or screw up, they use the same phrase to write off action or correction - oh, it will come out right, our way, because the universe will naturally go our way.

I think this freak managed to disappoint his parents in every way possible.

He didn’t want his father to cut off the rent checks.

One day Carl may grow up to be as smart as his parents.

I agree. The difference is that wingtips have class, as do a lot of older dress-type clothes. Hipsters seem to always gravitate toward ratty sweaters, fake-leather jackets worn by the bad guys on 70s cop-shows, and hippie-wear.

The thought that my children would lecture me on my political principles is quite humorous...

I just tell them to take a vacation to a Balkan country and see what 70 years of socialism has done for them. Or read Viktor Belenko’s book. The breakfast that he got for $1.50 in the worst part of St. Louis was better than ANY meal that he EVER had in the Soviet Union. And he wasn’t some foot soldier, he was an officer and a pilot of the premier jet of the time (the MiG-25). If you want to be crammed in with a bunch of people living like pigs, a Russian city is the place for you.

When I was in Denver a few weeks ago, driving on I-25 convinced me that they must lace their pot with crack. They’re insane! They make Austin drivers look calm and safe.

I just got hit by a movie line: “You’re killing your father, Larry.” That would be my message to this guy.
