Dealing With A Conservative Brother
Advertisements [?]
Well for those of you who have seen my previous posts, you known I've had a recent political awakening. It started with research on why Obama won the 2008 election and research to understand party history. It also started by listening to Thom Hartmann. Who I think is a brilliant political mind. Ed Schultz is pretty cool too. They don't come off as loony as Hannity and Beck who I constantly disagreed with even when I was a Republican.

Well I have a twin brother. He is VERY VERY Conservative. He has a good heart and believes he is standing up for the middle class. Falling for that lie that tax cuts for the rich help him. I tried to explain to him how some conservative thinking doesn't work. He has been lied to so much that he believes Eisenhower cut taxes which is complete bull!

He is annoying to debate, he talked over me and started screaming. Anyone has any experience like this. Its like, I love my brother and all, especially since he is my twin. But completely ignorant and doesn't do research. Just would like some advice. And remember I don't want to alienate him. He's still my bro.
