[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, the one thing that I noticed about the way that you talk is that you tend to stereotype people.  "Right wing" people in your mind are gun toting racists.  "Law enforcement types" hate minorities and go out of their way to target them unfairly.

In stereotyping people like that, you have raised your daughter to believe that it's o.k. to be intolerant of specific groups of people.  She has just substituted your disdain towards conservatives for a disdain towards minorities.  In her mind it's o.k. to use a broad brush against groups, just like her future FIL does, just like you do.  Instead of holding individuals accountable, this view taints an entire group.

I think you need to understand where this ugly intelorance may be coming from in your daughter.  [/quote]

+1. Your views of conservatives are so ingrained and biased that I will assume that you are very much exaggerating these people's beliefs and actions. You claim you raised your daughter to be independent and open-minded, but are aghast that her beliefs aren't the same as yours. Believe me, that poor future SIL isn't thinking so highly of you either, I would guess.[/quote]
