On a trip earlier this year to visit my parents, my dad told of how my mom's sister had been appalled at my dad's shiny, new and GINORMOUS gun safe, and said something about how she'd been brainwashed by the gun control people. It's not just that he's conservative, it's that on certain topics he turns into this complete freak incapable of rational discussion, angry and bitter and sarcastic and mean. My sister and I have both tried to get him to stop, at least in front of the kids (he's pretty scary when he gets going), but he interprets our efforts as personal attacks. Ugh.

I think we need to send your dad and my dad someplace nice like a white supremacist campground for all major holidays. What the hell is up with all this? I don't know about your dad, but mine used to be relatively liberal. For the last 10 years or so, though, he's been getting steadily worse. At Xmas last year he actually went all the way to full-fledged out-and-out racism, in an obnoxious way. I don't want my nephews hearing that crap.
