I can now share one of those DU family sagas. I don't know how it happened that my sister, whom I love dearly, went over to the dark side. Paranoia got the better of her after 9/11 and all she thinks about is evil Muslims coming to kill us all.
She has been a die-hard BoSox fan, like me, all her life. I called her in Boston tonight to share the joy and she screamed at me for five straight minutes about the NY Times and evil racist Muslim clerics and how the Moonie Times would make Kerry look like a fool in the morning and how she didn't watch the game and didn't care anymore about trivial shit like baseball -- her greatest passion until a few years ago.
On the bright side, if she's so angry it must be bad in Freeperland, where she lives.
Sad, sad experience.

that her hero has been endorsed by the government of Iran. It won't change her mind, but it will shut her the fuck up.

3. If she gave up on baseball there is no hope for her. |
|
But it is also an example of how successful bushco. and his evil gang have been in using the "war on Terra" TM. to scare folks into voting for them.

6. There must be something else going on in her life |
|
to make her turn that way. It could just be the people she hangs out with, but I bet there's more to it than that.

but through it all we were always close until the last couple of years. She's dealing with heavy shit, but you can't even reach her (or I can't) any more.

13. I can relate to your story |
|
My brother is a die hard Bush supporter-we don't talk much these days.
But!If your sister is any indication of the general mood of the Republican party and from what Iv read and seen it is-then that means Kerry is doing a damn good job in his campaigning!
Hope your sister and my brother will be alright when he wins.
