I have a tight rope to walk. I am 100% pro gun, and support the war, and think God can sort em out. But my wife's family are all Mennonites

I get myself in some pretty bad situations when they discuss the war.
they use the religous convictions as a reason not to fight, but refuse to acknowledge that 90%of the wars we have fought throughout history are based on a religous reason.

I told them that it was ignorant to use the very constitution to defend your beliefs, that you in turn are not willing to fight for or defend. they went around and around on the reasons against war, and finally I told them that it was ok. they did not need to defend the country. but they sure are lucky to be related to me.....the one guy in the family who owns enough guns to kill any terrorist that is coming to harm us.

they just looked at me in disbelief. said I should never take another's life. But I replied that when a group terrorist pulls thier guns on us, you distract him with your theories and values while I am reloading!!!


( we don't get together very often.....they probably think I need to bathe in Holy Water)
Clap Clap Clap I kind of have a similar relationship with some misguided liberal relatives and unionized in-laws.
