My thanksgiving story.

[WingDinger]

I received a dread disease from my employment. I have had to move in with parents to survive. For months now, I have worked my ass off, to make the dwelling habitable for three. I have been forbidden from divulging any of my politics. Periodically, my father has said to me that he doesn't want my propaganda. Nor see me indoctrinate anyone. He chided me for spending any time at DU. This came from our pal, Glenn Beck. He wanted to kill me, and said so. Threatened to call cops, and have me murdered by cop. Also, I am a Med Mar patient.

I took off, the day before thanksgiving, to live in my car. I froze, and got sick, intending to die slowly, on the street. Not intending to speed it along, it just happens. I went home, to get a sleeping bag on thanksgiving, so as not to die tonight. My father said thank God you are home, I have been so wrong. This is likely a holiday miracle. I dint hear any Beck or Oreilly remaining. Had he continued in his right wing rage, I have no doubt I would be dead soon. The last thing that got death threats was saying that TSA actions are almost all designed to make us FEEL safe. That removing shoes has made noone safer. That was too left to be allowed to live.

My future looks much brighter. human warmth prevails this once over evil.

5. Don't expect one night of worry to effect a permanent change

because the odds are against it. Today and tonight, though, you'll be warm, fed and safe.

The best you can expect with your dad is the arrangement I had with mine, a line in the sand that we never crossed by mutual agreement, he the right winger and I the avowed leftist. It was the only way we could keep talking.

However, you have hit upon the only way to avoid being used as his political punching bag: leave the room. Leave the house if he follows you. Go back half an hour later and ask if he's done. My dad got the point. Chances are yours will, too.

Good luck on finding a new job that pays the bills so you can get out of there. Sucky economies don't last forever just like good ones don't.

6. My thoughts are with you...

You sound like a very strong person, even more so because of things you've had to endure. I would hope that he is seeing the light, because it's never easy when you have a relative who isn't open-minded - a right-winger, or just not progressive. I hope you have a safe, happy holiday weekend, and that things continue to improve on the home front.
