Showing Original Post only (View all)I yelled at my parents tonight... [View all]
They had called to wish me a happy birthday, and we had a very pleasant chat...
Until somehow we found ourselves talking about fracking. And the Keystone Pipeline.
Now, they were Republicans for all the years I was growing up, and beyond...But about oh maybe 8-10 years ago, they re-registered as Democrats. They have been faithfully voting for Democrats for some time now. I could not be any more pleased!
But I guess some of their attitudes are still Republican.
And that's why I yelled at them.
So. I need good, solid references to show them the error of their ways, and I hope that you good people can help me out. They need facts.
I hope you can help.
