build a good one so your sister

will have a nice rack
She's 41, a lawyer, has two kids, competes in triathlons, vegetarian,
ultra-liberal, drives a Prius and shoots for fun too. I believe that
when she is 50 she will no longer be liberal.
Hmm, I don't know. My daughter is also a liberal democrat. She's 52.
But she's a member of the NRA and shoots trap and auto loaders. (she
drives a Volvo)
I'm her opposite, have tons of guns, shoot once a month and drive a
Chevy. But I'm not a member of the NRA.

Luckily, neither of my daughters are liberals.

I suppose they were just properly raised.


Well, they certainly weren't raised as Roman Catholics, eh?
Most Catholics I know, and I know a lot of them, are social liberals.
A number of them are anti-abortion, but in every other area of
importance, they are liberal.

So, where did you go wrong with them?


My uncle was in the seminary but decided that he wanted to do more with
his life. He went to USMC OCS and became a fighter pilot and when to
Vietnam and flew F4's.

Our family is very Catholic, very conservative and very generous to
charities.

Of course when you explain the economics of liberalism vs. conservatism
to children who start earning their own money it opens their eyes.


Both of my daughters were raised Catholic, and are still practicing Catholics. My granddaughter has
her First Communion next Sunday.

Raising children in the Catholic Church doesn't make them less intelligent, as you know. Therefore
you'd expect them to be able to see just what the liberals have done for the poor. Visit downtown
Detroit, Philadelphia, Chicago, or DC, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

It's a damn shame the poor don't wise up. But, it's not in the liberal interest for them to do so.
