I think they should have gone all out with that Oval Office photo montage and photoshopped Obama in a turban with a scimitar at his waist and suicide-bomber bandoliers of dynamite sticks criss crossing his torso. "WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THESE PHOTOS HMMMM?"

Seriously, I compulsively give poo poo away. Because that's what it boils down to, your taxes may go to help someone less fortunate and BAH GAWD them drug dealers and blacks and whatnot didn't work for that money, I did! gently caress them, got mine! My parents and I have reached a detente - if none of us brings it up, we don't acknowledge it. But if someone does, no one can keep their mouths shut and it's basically WWIII.

How do illegal immigrants sign up to get their weekly allowance? Is there a social security type number I'll need? Oh crap, I asked a question. Does that mean I don't qualify?

I love this. Bikes are good for the environment. But only filthy liberals care about the environment! Therefore, bikers must be liberals. Therefore, supporting biking is a nefarious plot to make more liberals and must be stopped.

I'd like to ask, how healthy are the relationships you guys have with the immediate family that believes in and forwards you this absolute crap? If my mom and dad firmly believed in this kind of poo poo I'm not such a melodramatic child that I would never talk to them or anything like that but I imagine that their deep belief in an ideology I find morally bankrupt would certainly harm our ability to have a healthy relationship.

My father watches fox all day, loves O'Reilly, loves Beck, etc. Each time we actually meet (about twice a year now) if the conversation turns towards politics, I just agree with him and change the subject. Last time, he mentioned General McCrystal, the Rolling Stone interview, and said how odd it was that Obama fired him because McCrystal "Was a huge socialist, just like Obama." I just shrugged. I gave up a long time ago with holding any political discourse with my dad about politics, simply because he doesn't want an argument, he just wants to tell me I'm wrong. When Palin got big and the Couric interview came out, I remember saying something like "Dad, I don't think she's very smart" and he started yelling, saying "She's incredibly smart! She's got degrees and etc etc etc and YOUR PEOPLE GOT IT WRONG!" I believe he associated me with the press that showed her as dumb because I work for some newspapers, but it pretty much forced me to not bother anymore. Then he started touting off with what physical cues I was showing, because O'Reilly has that really hot-russian on who talks about how the liberals are lying because they blink too much or some poo poo. Sorry that was way longer, TL:DR gave up trying to figure it out, I still love my dad

Coitus_Interruptus posted:I'd like to ask, how healthy are the relationships you guys have with the immediate family that believes in and forwards you this absolute crap? Like crime fighting hog, my Dad is a huge Republican. He's actually a Nixon apologist. One of my first memories is watching the Iran Contra hearings on TV with him. As soon as Obama announced, I told my Dad he would be the next President. We had a lot of good discussions about the field on both sides, but we argued over Bush's presidency. He supported me entirely in my (rather active) efforts to get Obama elected. And then Obama won and he went Right Wing LOONY. He doesn't believe the birther poo poo but he has no problem calling Obama a socialist. So basically, for the sanity of both of us, we only discuss politics when drunk, and other people in the room shut us up, like my absolutely-hates-politics-step-mother. We also learned years ago when arguing politics a neat trick that works for the whole family: we raise our hands when we have a rebuttal. The person speaking gets to finish, then the first one with their hand up gets to rebut, etc.. It's a little kindergarten but it works for us. Also allows us to mock people who present dumb ideas because we like to pretend we're both smarter than anyone else in the room.

I remember my father saying that he thanked Nixon for letting my dad not have to go to Vietnam because he had been accepted to med-school, but I never really understood what the gently caress he was talking about. Odd thing, too: The week Obama got elected, I went home to visit and my dad said he thought the guy would be a great president. Now it's just more regurgitated talking points.

My dads a hardcore republican but we just sort of dont discuss politics and get along OK, sticking to stuff we can agree on mostly (We both enjoy guns for sport, so there's that for example). Mom doesnt know as much about politics and doesn't try to pretend so it doesn't come up as often.

My dad's a recovering Republican who actually likes Obama and is able to see how horrible Palin is. On the flip side, he sees nothing wrong with the Tea Party people, still watches Fox, and thinks Beck is no worse than Olbermann. On the flippier side, he reads and likes Paul Krugman. On the flip-flippier side, he thinks ACORN is 100% guilty and once suggested to me that there should be "some kind of test" that people have to pass before they can vote. We get along swimmingly, though, because we've come to learn when to shut down the political talk. My brother supports (supported?) Ron Paul and is a "libertarian." We get around this ideological split by making fun of each other in horrible ways.

Coitus_Interruptus posted:I'd like to ask, how healthy are the relationships you guys have with the immediate family that believes in and forwards you this absolute crap? My own family is moderate, and we all laugh at these kinds of things. My in-laws are a whole different story. I actually stopped hanging out with them on most occasions because, literally every loving thing not only turns to politics at random, it's poo poo they see on Beck and read in FWD:Fwds almost verbatim. Even a reasonable response to any of their tirades becomes mouth frothing and a whole heap of crazy. My father-in-law is particularly crazy. He's an Ivy league educated surgeon, and a staunch atheist. You'd think he could disseminate bullshit from truth. Nope. Death panels, secret socialist plots, mass gun-grabs, and literally everything he doesn't like is somehow "socialist". He's now resorted to carrying a concealed handgun in case some poo poo really goes down. Last time I spoke to him he said he was in Trader Joe's, and had his hand on his gun the whole time because there were a bunch of "hippies" roaming around. And I'm pretty sure he isn't being facetious. When Obama won the election, I got an email the next day about 2 pages long, about how he's been studying his Hitler documentary DVD and taking notes on the cadence of Hitler's speeches and comparing them to Obama's, and made all kinds of other parallels. God drat I wished I saved that email. tek79 fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Aug 5, 2010 |

No Direct flights from foreign countries. Amsterdam. Why Didn't the CIA monitor Amsterdam? Because the CiA needs teh Nation to be in a stat of Fear. You got to admit we are FucKen vulnerable. Have you any idea how easy it is to succeed? Suppose it was 2 suitcases in Cargo? Suppose a tourist (unbeknowns) got a call requesting a text message yes or no. But that Phone was a Designated Detonator. Do you get that? Do you understand mules? They don't actually need the Terrorist on the plane. The Hotel maid switched cell phones. So the CiA wanted theatrics. When ever teh CiA wants money the Stage poo poo. No, Congress or the Senate Never Does a probe to see if it was a CiA mission. returned CiA can pull poo poo, off the boohs we know Nothing About. Can the CiA Be reigned in? NO!
