I understand how you feel. I have a nephew who is in college now for political science, and he has turned into a extreme liberal. But when he was 14 or so, at Thanksgiving dinner, the subject came up about the American flag, when to fly it, etc, and he said “The American flag is a symbol of oppression, there is no reason to celebrate it” or something along those lines, and I remember just staring at him in disbelief, then said “How can you say that? How? Your grandfather served his whole life under that flag, and was buried under it. How can you say that?”

I was dumbstruck. I know he was just a kid then, and now an adult, but that is how he has gone. I can’t even go over to my brother’s house now, it brings me that much pain.

Granted, his whole family are full in liberals, but I never thought they were the anti-American variety. But at least one is,and he wants to go into politics.

As I said(and you should say), it’s easy to be a liberal when someone is making the sacrifices for you.
