So our pest control man likes to talk when he comes to spray the house and it's fine when it's about his kids or his side business, but then he talks about politics and religion. My mom's been tempted to just ask him to stop because it really upsets her. Then, to make matters worse, last time he said how great it was that we never tell him off or anything, just let him talk.

I try to listen and not argue but not let it upset me that our views are so different...he says Fox News out of New York is the only REAL news outlet.

However, I just can't get over this one thing he said because I just don't understand it.

He said that Progressives were ALL Antisemitic.

Now, I wasn't about to get him started but HOW would he get that impression?

Now, I do realize we haven't been as buddy/buddy with Israel as in the past but I don't think we should favoring either them or the Palestinians. We should be neutral because we can never truly understand what it means to be either one. They've been at war for MILLENNIA, we've been a country for 234 years. There's no comparison.

I have an Israeli friend. We like to talk about Disney and animation. He told how he didn't like Monsters, Inc that much. I explained how much it meant so soon after 9/11.

He told me how he's lived like that EVERY DAY SINCE HE WAS BORN and that we were basically spoiled.
