It was cathartic. I got to say to her what I want to say to most of my liberal friends. But they're friends and I would never do that. But she wasn't a friend, so, what the hell???!!!!

Agreed. Sounds like it was tit for tat.
I used to speak fairly freely to my Liberal friends, but now they're not my friends any more.
I am just starting to become a little more tactful in that regard, especially important since there is hardly anyone around here who is not Liberal.
Since I was born and and raised Liberal myself, I guess I had to go through a phase of expressing things to them. Ultimately, it's sort of part of understanding that communication is impossible.
Rom 11:8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
Rom 11:9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
Rom 11:10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
Rom 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but [rather] through their fall salvation [is come] unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Rom 11:12 Now if the fall of them [be] the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

Christian's owe their salvation in part to the Jews, that's one reason they support them. It's God who has plans for your friends salvation.
Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Didn't I read somewhere that you yourself are Jewish, too? What a doofus.
Yes, I am.
Good for you!
It is often a good idea to do occasional purging of acquaintances. People who I can rely on to watch my back, or who are there for me when I'm down, or who give me good advice or insight, or give me a "from the heart" honest kick in the butt when it's needed, stay on my "keep" list
People who cost me aggravation without returning anything of value, go on the "dispose" list
There are some unhappy people who are unhappy because of a shortage of friends, but more are unhappy because they have too many vampires among their acquaintances
That means that there is no contact throughout the year and the only contact is when they receive a Christmas Card from us.
