| Are there any more of you out there? I even come from a line of democratic politicians in the NE US. |
| Yep I am also a first generation conservative. My mom and my dad were/are both flaming liberals. The funny thing is my mom is pro death penalty, and anti illegal imigration, and indifferent to guns. She loved slick willy, and was supporting hillary, but now refuses to vote for barry o'. |

My parents are unaffiliated conservatives who usually vote Republican. I know that my dad's side of the family has some old-school Democrat types. I'd figure that my mom's side does as well (she's from West Virginia). Those who vote Democrat in my family usually do so because they think that the Democrats will take care of the blue-collar working man, while the Republicans will shit all over him. My life experience has shown me that the opposite is true. |
Yep. I've got older relatives like that. My father even used to say things like that about the Democrats. |
No offensive, but your dad sounds kinda dumb when it comes to judging the political parties. I hate that "for the little guy" BS. |

I'm from a Chicago family.... My mother was a flower child.... My father was a farmer than a doctor.... He has been pretty conservative his whole life but really doesnt like guns.... on the other hand My mother who is pretty fucking liberal is really Pro 2A.... weird huh I got the best of both worlds conservative and pro gun
|
No, but I am a first generation gun-owner. (Although both my dad and uncle when they were younger shot skeet for a short period of time)
+1 didn't that whole stigma come about when the Republicans were constantly blocking the income tax amendment (a tax "only on the rich")? Maybe you should ask your dad what he thinks about income tax? |
