My Aunt Catherine lives on the Eastern Seaboard. She votes Republican. Which is okay, of course; everyone's entitled to their own opinions

Godwin's Law.

Also, for relevance, there are some great posts by satyrblade regarding the WWII generation and our generation and what's important between them, and Rachel Maddow has a reference to Godwin's Law and why it sucks when people compare Obama to Hitler.

yeah, gina said something about how ... crap, I can't remember. but it seemed relevant at the time.

If you remember I'd be interested in hearing it!

[anamacha]

I don't really remember, and she doesn't either -- but it was something about how that generation used war to fix problems. There was WW2 used to fix the rise of fascism, the Korean War which I don't remember why it was started, the Vietnam Non-War, used to promote Democracy, Desert Storm, and now Iraq.

Hmm...

Good for you! I would have felt like punching her, if she sent that stuff to me. However I agree with you fully and you handeled it well--- and here's to --hopefully--- a new president that will make a frakking difference!

thanks. violence, though necessary at times, is not always the way.

All the Republicans and racists in my family are voting for Obama. I feel like they have finally woke up and seen the light. I am hoping this is happening in families all over the nation.

WOW. That is so cool. Thanks for sharing.
