The conversations sound just like yours and it drives me ca-razy! The reason it drives me insane is -- if you never talked politics with them, you would see them as bright, modern people with a good sense of humor. But politics the past few years has brought something so ugly to light with them.

All the talk radio and Fox News has encouraged them to announce they are racist and hate Democrats and are proud of it. They like to act post-modern and cynical and above-it-all, but the truth is they never know any facts, just stupid talking points. Strangely, they say weird things like Bush says -- if we ask about how the policies will affect their grandkids, they'll say, "Oh who knows, I'll be dead!" What kind of weird way is that to think? They think it's funny and like to tweak my husband, me and my one BIL about it, because they know we think it's bizarre and creepy.

I have come to the conclusion that they enjoy the hatred they are fed daily because they are bored and also it makes them feel morally superior. I have also come to the conclusion that their values indicate a low character. I still love them and enjoy spending time with them, but I have decided they are to be pitied.

Some emotion in the brains of the Bush-lovers are keeping them from facing facts and reality, because in all these conversations, they are not offering logical arguments.
