Today I found out out my brother-in-law is a birther

[No Passaran]

He's an atheist, conservative, NRA member. Tech college education and does own a small private business. Today my father-in-law laughed at him for his views and I joined in. It was pretty funny to watch this guy come unhinged as we laughed at his "proof". I was amused by his attempt to convert my father-in-law, who holds two bachelors and masters and was a PR machine in his day, to his side.

He's (father-in-law) also leaning towards socialism and mocks Reaganomics at every step.

For the record, my wife converted me to Obama side after South Carolina primaries. I was actively involved in supporting Clinton here in Iowa.

2. That's the best way to handle people like that. Laugh at them.

If enough people do, they will stop their BS. They many not change their mind, but they'll shut up because they hate the embarrassment!
