let me tell you a story about my RW uncle. |
|
He is kind of an Eric Cartman Republican. He hates immigration and has bumper stickers that say "this is America, speak English." He always talks about how even though he voted for him, Bush was too liberal on immigration. He thinks that immigrants come to America for what he calls "free-handouts." He likes to make fun of what he calls "tree-hugging hippies" or "bleeding heart liberals." During Christmas last year he talked at dinner about how there is only one true religion and one true church which is the catholic church in front of my deist father. In the below paragraph I will explain his hypocrisy.
Well let me give you some information about him. He's 42 years old and was the youngest in the family. My mom is 50 and her sister 52. He was adopted as a kid. My mom's dad (grandpa) was a doctor so they made a lot of money. By the time he was 10 years old, with both of his older sisters out of the house, he was basically an only child. He got treated as a spoiled brat. He went to college, dropped out after a year and has basically been in a new job every year for as long as I can remember. He uses his parents as a source for money because of their wealth. He was married in '95 had three kids, and divorced in '04. Now some credit is due because he gave up drinking and his kids get along with him, but he still leeches off of his parents. Even worse is that he recently got remarried and nobody in our family was invited and we didn't know about it until he posted pictures of it on facebook. I'm not that religious, but I hate how he talks a good game about religion, yet he forgets to get an annulment, which is required in the catholic church.

RobertPlant. :hi:
Hypocrisy does reign supreme in some who speak religion the loudest.
Be surefooted in walking around him - follow *your* truth - that's what matters.

If he believes that anyone who comes to this country should learn its native language, ask him why we are not speaking Indian.

8. For a second I thought we were related............ |
|
I have an uncle who is so far right wing, hates any other religion than Catholicism, and mooches off his parents. Only difference is that hes older and abused his children. Oh and did I mention he plans to have a revolution and kill obama?

13. well he is similar to your uncle |
|
Laura902, he was a wife beater in his first marriage. As I said earlier some credit is due. During his first marriage he was an alcy and didn't care much for his kids. But since then, he has given up drinking and loves his kids because he only gets to see them on weekends. Even when he was married he never abused them though. Still, he has gone from being an epic d-bag to a regular blowhard.

9. The annulment is not required unless you want to continue receiving |
|
communion. I said screw that, got the divorce, in fact two of them and go to the rail whenever I want to. Of course I do go to confession but still. Annulment is another way to get bucks to the Vatican. Screw them too. It's between God and myself, Ratz and the boyz have no effect on my life at all..

... needs to be informed that the original Wisconsin constitution was printed in English, German and Norwegian. Sorry, I'm not conversant on other states.
