This was at a big Christmas dinner on the day after Christmas. This kid's parents (my aunt and uncle) are fundies and despise Obama and send him to a Christian school. All their kid (my 13 year old nephew) could talk about to his cousin was how Obama was going to bring about the end of the world with nuclear war. WTF? On and on non-stop. His cousin (my other nephew) is in the 9th grade and finally had to tell him, at the dinner table, to shut UP about Obama and politics at our Christmas dinner. This is 9th grader to the 7th grader. I blame his parents for the kid being wound up Fox-Noise style about current events in the first place. I feel bad for the kid. Who does this to their kid? Very sad.
Afterward, I went up to my nephew who had finally told him to can the political talk and said, "is that all he talks about, even when the grown-ups aren't around?" and he said, "yes, he's too weird."
My SO later said, "he's probably being programmed to blow up abortion clinics later in life."
Damn. It's a crying shame what parents do to their kids.
Glad I only see these freaks once a year. The rest of my family is pretty sane.
