They supported me fervently when I joined the Marines, and Dad said "Give 'em hell" when the desert called. But they think Trump is the devil and any incursion of force he orders must be a crime. Not even open for discussion. Personally, I consider myself a patriot of the country we are meant to be, and primarily, a "freedom guy", typically adhering to the idea of individual freedom balanced with personal responsibility.

And did you know that Sirius radio has a 24/7 Metallica station, and a channel named "Ozzy's Boneyard", playing all the metal bands you remember from high school?
Sorry to hear that - sounds like our folks have been unduly influenced by CNN, the two BCs and BS (CNN, NBC, ABC, and CBS)... It's a damn shame. I was brought up to respect my elders, love my folks - it's just sad. Woke culture came after my two children (both adults now and very conservative, thankfully). I doubt neither of them would fall for a "Clinton" like I did back in the day...

Yes, Metallica 24x7 - my son actually told me about it first (before launch) - love that channel!!
