As I’m sure is the case with many of the folks here, I get semi-regular emails from a conservative family member. You know the ones—those emails. I received one last night that really set me off. I’m not certain what it was in particular about this one, but even this morning, after trying to sleep it off, I’m still upset about it.

As personal background, I’m retired US Military (20 years, USN), now working as a government contractor. My last duty assignment was as an instructor, trying to pass on the previous 17 years’ accumulated learning to the next generation. I’ve always been left of center, despite most of the rest of my family being conservative, avowed Republicans.
