I am the only LIVING member of my family who has decided that the Republican party is completely insane. Sure, there were Grandma and Grandpa….but they were just members of the greatest generation – what did they know? Anyhow, I was recently in a discussion with my sister who ended with “you’re so lost….you are living you life wearing blinders!”. Gee Wiz! Why is it that whenever someone doesn’t agree with a Republican (s)he has lost his mind? Why am I the one wearing blinders? Why is it me who needs to take a reality check? Can someone please help me out here and answer the $60,000.00 question?

I feel your pain. That’s my family you are describing, as well. And I wish I had an answer for you. I guess if we only watched more Fox News and stayed off the innertubes so much …
well….at least I’m not the only one. I feel like Alex on Family Ties – except I’m the only one who thinks that Ronald Regan was a douche-bag!
“You are living your life wearing blinders!”
“I know, but the damned things aren’t working. I can still see you.”
Or, taking a loftier tone:
“I know, and they’re great. They block out everything except the truth.”
