What is wierd is that I don't really wear it on my sleeve. Some of my friends had no idea I was a conservative before they discovered my posting on the internet.
Exactly! I’m stunned sometimes at how differently we conservatives deal with the rudeness of it all.
I recently saw an old high school friend and spoke of my beloved son being engaged to a lovely young, faithful Catholic girl he met in church. Her father is studying to be a Deacon in the Church.
Her response was to bring up all the child-abuse, pedophilia priests...
At the time, I let it pass but am now stunned at her insensitivity to my religious beliefs...but if I had said to her what I should have said to her then, our friendship would be over. But am ashamed to be the one who “backed down”...
I know many would just say, screw it and her for her rudeness but I can’t cut off everyone I disagree with..just can’t.....so I’d better cowboy up and not let it bother me....
