Ill Communication

My husband sat on the phone this morning arguing politics with his friend "Smith". I asked my guy why he insists on banging his head against the wall ranting and raving with Smith when there is just no way the turkey will ever accept a viewpoint that does not go along with his increasingly conservative stance. Among other things, this guy thinks it is his constitutional right to drive a big, gas guzzling SUV. My guy repeatedly tried to explain that yes, it's your right, you can do whatever you want to do. But when our soldiers are sacrificing their lives overseas, it is patriotic to drive a small fuel efficient car. Particularly when one of the main sources of terrorist funding is oil...that we purchase. Smith just doesn't get it and no amount of explaining will get him to see it.
