my congresswoman was shot today

Emily, this is why I have cut off all contact with them, despite the fact they are my only links to my mom, who died about 15 years ago and they live near me. I *hope* they aren't cheering, but they are gun toting rabid right wingers, who get the gospel from talk radio. One of my cousins is not quite as conservative, but he got super religious, which caused other issues. I've been reading Facebook posts from my friends in AZ (Phoenix area) and they are all really upset.

I read your posting on the other thread, about your family, and I totally get it. We have a couple in my husband's family who are like the ones you speak of in your family...but I am positive they are not cheering tonight.
