24. My father was a staunch Republican who would vehemently argue,,,

politics with just about anyone. Mother hated the arguing, and I could tell she voted most of the time Democrat. When I was in high school, I began to 'debate' the ole man in politics as well. Just because he was louder than I was, he thought he was right. One day he began to complain about 'them bastards taxing my SS checks'. I calmly told him, "But dad, you voted them bastards into office, THEY wee the ones who voted to tax it!" He never uttered a response, because he knew his high school son was correct!
