I agree. It’s not worth being around people who you really truly at the crux of it, just don’t like.
What about talking to your liberal aunt?
You know, the perpetually menstruating, wine drinking, pseudo intellectual snob.....
Why would anyone let Pajama Boy eat but the card table with the rest of the children?
Wow...somehow gratifying...I love it!
I’ve come pretty darn close to wringing some nephew neck myself. The one who gave the family the pajama boy Obamacare talking points pep talk a couple years ago was very hard to take without busting a gut laughing. All his “facts” were DNC fudged numbers and total BS. It was hilarious.
Ask him if he likes the Eagles or Dallas, smile and hand him a beer
Conservatives are not ideologues conservatives are going ff of the constitution and also a proven way of life.
No need to convince anyone, and it won’t happen on a holiday
If they say something outrageous in front of the kids kindly say, no, that is not correct, to protect the sensibilities of the kids, if you’re there. When they say things to the kids when you’re not there, the kids know instinctively their assertion is untested
The best way to convert someone is to live it. The house is in order, the cooks are happy, the game is on, the food is good, the cars are clean (i always have a clean car when I visit or have visitors) and look your best. Clean and groomed. In style is even better
No sniping no griping no put downs no talk of politics sex or religion
In a few years if they convert they’ll know where to go for mentoring. When they’re ready
St Francis of Assisi said ‘alwaus preach the Gospel. Use words if necessary.’
Not bad
“Go take a bath, take out the piercings, get a hair cut and get a job. Grow up finally and quit being a whiny loser living in your parent’s basement”
You do realize the Archie Bunker character was a foil to make conservatives look like racist rednecks and bigots right?

Irwin gets washed.
Won’t help your cause, but it might make you laugh.
Here’s a fun topic for Thanksgiving: What will Obozo put in his Presidential Library. Since he’s sequestered virtually everything from his past, about the only thing one will find in his Presidential Library is an echo.
I’m fortunate that two of my nephews are God fearin’, church goin’ right wingers.
The third is in the Air Force.
And I'm sure they don't have a problem with getting the day(s) off from work though.
Or...do they work?
Ask him how much he paid in taxes last year and then ask why he didn’t pay more for the collective? Call him a fiscal hypocrite.
Pray America wakes
Bingo! Such discussions only create hard feelings, and are actually rude to others present. So deflect, then disengage.
Liberal relative: That Trump is a fascist. And Cruz is almost as bad.
Me: Who are you picking for the Super Bowl this season?
Liberal relative: But Trump...
Me: Pittsburgh has a shot if Roethlisberger stays healthy.
Liberal relative: Well, I like the Cardinals.
Grandma's happy. Everybody's happy.
My favorite nephew used to be a Pajama Boy but over the last 20 years of my quiet counsel, he has made a 180 degree turn and now sits way to my right. Unfortunately, he and a whole lot of my family lives in Atlanta, and we’re in S. Florida
They’ve been convinced the utopian “free stuff” promises is the way things should be.
I have one with the “everyone should receive a standard living allowance that can pay for a all basic living expenses” attitude. You look at them with disbelief - that they can be that stupid, but they are. I think it is a fear of not being able to be successful. They don’t understand that if that were the case NOBODY would be successful and the entire system would fall apart. They think money = wealth and that the government prints it, so it’s just unfair that more goes to some. They have no idea how wealth is created and that our system has generated the highest standard of living in history.
That said, they also think they have it “worse off” than prior generations. I’ll give them that college tuition and health care costs have increased at disproportionate rates (to pay) but many don’t pay anything toward health care and college tuition is something that is paid over time, which shouldn’t be an issue so long as you didn’t get some STUPID degree. Plus there’s alternatives to college anyway, it’s not required.
