At that point my thinking went immediately to FOAD. I think he has the

I would bet* his daddy was a liberal union member and this all came from
his upbringing.

Indeed, I think many of today's Republican conservatives are dirtbags,
and that includes several of the ones that **** in rec.boats.

My "daddy" grew up during the Depression and after he was graduated from
college, he and his brother worked in their uncle's non-food variety
stores during WW II. The two of them also ran a custom machine shop for
the U.S. Army on the side, turning out "experimental" shell casings for
a brass factory in Waterbury, Connecticut, and for the Watervleit
Arsenal near Albany, New York. After the war, my dad started a
lawnmower, motorcycle, and boat store business, and in the mid 1950's
also bought into a marina. Those were his occupations. He was never a
union member, but he had lots of union members as customers. My dad was
non-political.

He would be political today if he was trying to run those businesses,
and he saw what the regulations do to business owners.


He was, however, a Philadelphia Mummer. His other hobbies
were taking care of abandoned animals and oil painting.

My mother was a minor functionary in the Republican Party in our
hometown. My early political experience was working in a GOP phone bank
before elections in New Haven County and driving people to the polls on
election day. There was no disgrace in the late 1950s in being a New
England Republican because the GOP had not yet gone bat**** crazy.

You don't seem to know much about anything, Mike. Perhaps you should
stick to selling fish.


Well, so you have told us your upbringing, I didn't get it right.
That's why I said I would only bet a little.

You said a lot when you didn't address the hot issue,
why do you have a knee jerk reaction to hate anyone conservative.
You have rants similar to racists. Just plain wrong thinking.

Told you...I think today's conservative Republicans are trash. Not all
of them, just most of them. Are you a Tea Party member?
