Quote from tomdavis:

The only way out is to leave the country, which is what we're considering doing. My wife has maintained her Australian citizenship so the move would be fairly straightforward...

(Big smile, extending my right hand for a handshake...)
Hey, brother(-in-law)Tom, your wife got a single sister???

She has four sisters. Three are married. One is gay... Sorry.

Quote from mrbill:

If we all could listen to one another, without making quick judgement calls, we might just be able to work things out.

The word for the day is : mendacious

dj. 1. mendacious - given to lying; "a mendacious child"
untruthful - not expressing or given to expressing the truth; "the statement given under oath was untruthful"; "an untruthful person"
2. mendacious - intentionally untrue; "a mendacious statement"
false - not in accordance with the fact or reality or actuality; "gave false testimony under oath"; "false tales of bravery"

Quote from denner:

There is literally no way out. (absent fracturing into a divided country..and even that would be a logistical nightmare).

Just as soon as someone eliminates a liberal and gets away with it the war will be on. We need to stamp an L on their foreheads and drive them into the sea.

(Except for my wife, of course. She can stay but my mother-in-law needs to be one of the first to go.)

1 in 5 consider themselves liberal. THAT is what I call a target rich environment.

Freeze everything. Freeze spending, no new programs, your budget is your budget, you want to add people to your food stamp program divy up the existing budget.

Thanks for posting that PT, and yes, of course I see that you want to put me that category. Ain't I the smart one?

However, do you not believe that may be some way to work things out? Many of us have failings that might cause others to hate us, and I'm speaking in TOTAL generalities here, nothing specific. But, even those with those same failings have something of value to say in our Democracy. Why do some disregard or hate someone because of their personal values?

I've told you many times that I think you're a smart guy. We are exact opposites on many issues, but I still think we can agree on so much.

Can you think of anything we agree on? I'm anti-abortion, I'm for cutting wasteful spending, I'm for putting everyone into the Military, if qualified of course. I think everyone should serve their Country. I believe in Workfare vs. Welfare. I could go on, but do you agree with me on any of these issues.

You can choose to keep fighting with me, or you can just blow me off, I would prefer a 3rd option, an honest response. And, please keep me up to speed with your change of jobs into trading. Feel free to PM me if you want to keep up your online persona, I won't mind.

Did you discuss this with 'Bama and get his approval to go with your idea?

Oh trust me, my psyche is intact, and I understand that some people just cannot get past outside nonsense, but I still try to work with people and get along. It has worked for over 50 years now, probably too late to change.

I hope you're not one of those who doesn't value friendship.Correcting a double negative. I hope you do value civility, it sure seems you do.
