I’m in a mixed marriage.

My husband is a conservative Republican, right down to the core. He bleeds red, white, and blue. Ronald Regan is his hero. He votes Republican in each and every election. Me? I’m a pinko commie liberal bastard…of course, he doesn’t call me that. But I am a bleeding heart liberal, against the death penalty, and I voted for Bill Clinton. (And if he ran again, I’d vote for him again!)

Each election year we joke to each other that we shouldn’t even bother voting, since our votes cancel each other out, but we still vote. We tease each other from time to time about our views and our elected leaders, but it’s all out of love, baby. It’s the only way to make things work. I send him jokes poking fun at liberals, and he sends me jokes poking fun at liberals. (Hey, whataminute!) When I came across the formykountry blog, and saw this post outlining the so-called Conservative 10 Commandments, I knew I’d have to send it on to my own darling conservative. All in good fun, of course!

Among my favorites on this list was this gem:

Conservatives want to melt the polar ice caps and watch California fall into the Ocean.

Ha! The rest of the list is just as good, outlining a plan for a gun toting, Wal-Mart shopping, heterosexual, no Ozone layer version of the good old U.S.A. Toby Keith would approve!

I don’t agree with the opinions and viewpoints expressed in each and every post, given my liberal leanings, but the author makes great points and has a great deal of passion for his beliefs. And that’s easy to enjoy and respect!
