1st of all Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

I just spent the day celebrating the holidays with extended family and I feel the need for therapy. One group complaining about Mexicans and Muslims invading the country the other moaning about all the gays on tv in commercials. One even going so far as calling Obama a monkey. I let the know of my disgust and let it go at that. I told my wife I will never do this again and will go out of my way to keep my distance. I hope you all have a better start to the holidays than I did.

Please, try not to let the ignorance of so few get you down. If anything, let it motivate to do better for those who are far worse off.

He's Liberal on everything except his racism against "Mexicans" who he claims are "coming over here getting welfare and taking it away from our own (white) people".
