You all are making me kind of grateful for my atheist commie parents though. So thanks. I think I will be nicer to them.

My father has five brothers, I don't know how they do it, but they all are very different politically, and are all absolutely sure they are 100% right when it comes to their views on all the issues. My father makes Ty look like a reactionary conservative and the uncle I was named after makes Buchanan seems like a reasonable liberal. It wouldn't be so bad if some of them actually read an article or watched the news at some point in their lives, but they all have opinions and no facts.
At family reunions, when politics every comes up everyone (except my uncles) leaves the room. That has actually worked quite well. Politics didn't come up once at the last reunion.
