First a little background on my oldman. He's an old school conservative. Picture a combination of Frank Burns from Mash and Archie Bunker. He was a career Marine DI for ten years and voted for Reagan twice, Bush senior, and the Chimp in 2000. We did not speak for severals because I refused to enter the service because I will not touch a gun.
He voted for Kerry in 2004 when the swifties attacked his record and than said he would have enlisted when he saw the purple heart band aids the republicans wore at the convention. Today my mom and my fundie sister were arguing about the vigil, my sister, of course is one of Bush's biggest fans. My dad enter the kitchen and you could have heard a pin drop when he entered. My old man than told my sister that "she should enlist and that the protesters were the true american's and than hugged me and leftthe kitchen ." We were all stunned and my sister left the house. Like i said this is a major break thru for my old man. I just thought you might now. If he could change, and he's as biggoted as they come, than they can change. Theres alot of hope now. Let's give Cindy a big hug and thank you.
