I am very saddened to see that the majority of answers (as well as the question itself) are reflected in a way which state that opinions and beliefs other than those of a progessive/liberal mindset are demonized,crazy, ridiculed, or not tolerated.
What happened to the freedom to express and believe different points of view, ideas, and differences? I know many conversatives who are loving, open-minded, passionate and truly care about the future of our country just as much as anyone else.
I am tired of the meanness that seems to be growing ever so rapidly with the extreme left for those who dare to dissagree with them.
I've got friends and co-workers all around Seattle with varying degrees of political viewpoints, and guess what? We get along great because our relationship and respect for each other outweighs the differences.
Leave the kid alone, just accept & love him just as he is!
