Such perception!

In my family we simply cannot talk politics, ever. We have super right wing, bible thumpers on one side and ultra left, liberal tree huggers on the other- and me in the middle, whom the right calls an ultra lefty and whom the left calls a Faux News conservative……..how there can be these two extremes out of the same family is baffling to me.

And yes, it took every bit of strength not to mention Mrs. Pollak’s post-graduate schooling… typical. She’s probably doing it on government grants and financial aid.

Here in a nutshell is the degenerate moral outlook of the left. Violating your spouses right to vote and breaking a sacred marital trust is considered the right thing to do because it advances a desired political outcome. Never forget that because it perfectly encapsulates the left wing mentality. The end (political victory for socialism) justifies any means including marital deception, law breaking and hypocrisy.

“He says it took him at least a year to stop being irritated, and to this day he doesn’t trust his wife of 35 years with his correspondence. “Isn’t it illegal to throw away mail?” he still asks her.”

Any man married to such a perfidious, backstabbing, ungrateful harpy deserves to have his vote thrown in the trash along with his heart, mind and whatever may be left of his appropriately low self esteem. What a dunce!
Notice how the wife in this little morality tale is a stereotypical urban lefty adult parasite who, though apparently middle aged, is still in school chasing a worthless degree in order to avoid productive work. This couple is a case study in dysfunctional marriage and the human propensity for self delusion. No doubt their children will end up with the same capacity for treachery and loathsome gullibility.

Katy, like you I have a family political dilemma. My family members are mostly Conservative/Libertarian. My wife’s family are all smug left/liberal government workers even though they get more lucrative offers from the private sector. They’re all irresponsible Birkenstock wearing spendthrifts who act like tomorrow never comes. None of them has a clue about history, philosophy, political science or economics though they have post graduate degrees. They react to the truth as if you had stabbed them with it. I could make a small fortune by setting up an “Obama Is God” T-shirt kiosk at the in-law gatherings. It’s kind of like a perpetual Democratic national convention but without the entertainment. Maybe that’s why I avoid them so much these days.
