    Ok, half my family are flaming conservatives, the other half flaming liberals. Wow, such passion on "what are you doing right now'.... of course the flaming liberals are so f...ck'n wrong. Really, should see whats being posted right now! But I will still invite them to the family barbeque if they can get over the co2 footprint of the roosted pig, chicken and cow I will be roasting!... but that's in 5 months...

      Just make them swear to not bring politics or something like that. I have an uncle who is a glass half empty leftist type of guy (and I hate to label people like that). He loves to engage me since I loathe the democratic and republican parties equally. It got to the point that I just told him that I respect him but I will never agree with all of his opinions or his political views so, please can we stop having the same damn conversation over and over again. From that point on he has pretty much chilled out. You might give it a try with the family that wants to argue with you.

      That's largely worked with my Dad and I, although he occasionally forgets to leave me off when emailing pravda to other family members.

        Mine, too. And I don't agree with any of 'em. (Kinda like soap box.)

          I had family members who did that to me over our killing our sheep for meat. Very tedious.

            Politics! Sheesh it's religion, sports, (local and national), the local school system (both public and private), my brother routinely challenges everyone to festivous (barbells in the basement). But boxed wine, and a case of beer makes everything better.

              Facebook is a void. There's no value added there, except the loss of one's privacy.

                This may be one of the few times I've found myself agreeing with you. I've been simply amazed that people are drawn to sites like Facebook then go about posting anything and everything about themselves.

The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

                                I have a web site, if you searched for my real name in quotes on Google my site would be on page 9. Since I setup a facebook page which has a link to my web site, a search on my real name (quotes or not) would bring up my facebook page as #1 on page one, and my web site is second item on page one. Not disagreeing with you, just saying from a marketing perspective... In addition it's great for communicating with friends and relatives far away.

                                  Coulter wins, no doubt about it. None of the others is sufficiently vicious to beat her.

                                      good grief. I think she's a kick butt author (love the way she makes the left spin) but I think she looks like a blond broom on stilts.

                                      Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.
