My freeper Mother keeps forwarding right-wing bullshit

[Roon]

emails to me.I would love to tell her what I really think and shut her down. What keeps me from telling her off like I tell off the freepers on the internet? I just can't bring myself to do it. Perhaps I should wear one of Bartcop's "worse president ever" t-shirt when I visit her.

1. You have one of those too?

I thought I was alone. Mine thinks Rush is intelligent and FOX is the only news source out there.

4. My Mother is at work when Rush is on

but she listens to Dr.Laura every night.

2. I would forward to her something positive...

...one of the numerous changes Obama is making that directly applies to her (this is assuming she isn't in the upper income echelons).

I wouldn't wear the shirt...it'd only tick her off. But maybe, if you keep things positive, you can get her to rethink her position.

3. She's pretty wealthy

I'll find positive things about Obama to send her though..thanks for the gread idea!!!

5. Can't you just delete them without reading them?

That's what I do! Too bad there is no "unsubscribe" for relatives!

[Roon]

6. Yes, no doubt

I am going to start deleting them. She sends cute pictures too so I have to be careful and read the subject line carefully.

7. Northern Sun might still have some Bush/Cheney Jail to the Chief shirts you could wear

One of my favorites!

8. Like another poster said, that would just piss her off

on the other hand..why does she get to post/discuss her political party and I can't?

[av8rdave]

9. That's how I feel

I'm always good about biting my lip when a friend/relative spouts off about politics, then after a while I start thinking, "why do they have the right to pontificate and I don't?"

10. Put her e-mail on a NAMBLA mailing list.

11. She's your mother, that gives her a pass. You're a better person for not responding.

Although having said that, I battered my poor mother with liberal and Democratic arguments mercilessly, and now she's probably more leftist than me. Well, it's close, anyway.

12. My step-Mother/Father and my Mother and Father

and my Uncle and Cousin are all conservatives. The rest of us are liberals. (Including my Grandparents)Even my little brother who was President of the log cabiners in a major city was conservative,he has since become an independent liberal.Thanks to Bush.

13. Oooops,

forgot to say Thanks! :-)
