I think my father's a Neocon. What do I do?

My family came from staunch Democrats but I am currently registered as "no affiliation" (I was a Rep. until Bush). I recently told him about a movie I saw called "Why We Fight", and how it was about Americas "military industrial complex" and the development of the military.

His immediate response was, "Oh yeah? What about 9/11? What about Saddam Hussein? What about all those liberals going around killing babies? Are you ready to get drafted?"

I didn't pursue the conversation any further.

What do I do?

Agree to disagree. You'll never win an argument with your dad. Mine won't let me win even if I say the sky is blue.

Prepare to receive a large sum of money upon his death as we all know that every Neocon is just a rich old white guy, right?

Although not to be recommended, for a myriad of reasons, I think it might, you know.

I would listen to him; your father seems to have a vastly superior intelligence to your own.

Are in living in his house? Using his utilities? Or in anyway financially dependent on him? If yes, just politely smile and walk away.

If not, then the Hell with him.
