Many Americans would be unhappy if a family member married someone in another political party, reports a new survey. Joe Queenan imagines the disasters that await, especially the nightmare scenario for parents vowing allegiance to either party: The Closet Libertarian Who Stole Courtneys Heart. I will reluctantly give you my blessing if you insist on marrying a blue-dog Democrat from a border state, says a Republican matriarch to her politically uncommitted daughter. But if I ever find out that your husband is secretly a libertarian—and I have private investigators working on it—I will cut you right out of the will. But hes not a libertarian, hes not, the bride-to-be might protest. He doesnt want pot legalized! He doesnt believe in home schooling! He supports futile American intervention in foreign wars where our national interests arent really at stake! I swear! Then what was he doing with Atlas Shrugged in his gym bag? the distraught mother would fire back. Try explaining away that one, sweetie!
