+1...there is an obvious answer here.
Really?
The only answer i see is-if you don't like it it's not my problem, this is the way i am. you either accept it or we agree to disagree.

Unfortunately I'm the only "Conservative" in my Family. Needless to say I don't attend any Family Reunions.
Sometimes, the only thing in common family members have is their DNA.
Yeah, growing up I always assumed that my parents were Conservative because I thought that was the default common sense position (we also never really discussed politics).
But a few years ago my Aunt, who still lives in CA where she and her sisters (my mother) were born said to me once while I was visiting something to the effect of:
How did you get to be such an evil little republican growing up in this family.
Needless to say I had no idea how to respond.
I would quote winston churchil-
"to be young and liberal is to have a heart, to be older and conservative is to have a brain"
When I first started carrying and I tried to talk to him about it he even said at one point, half jokingly, that he was "concerned that I would shoot him."

I would have said "I have an IQ that is much higher than your room temperture IQ."
