I once got a Christmas card from a liberal friend that had a verse about hoping for peace and no more discrimination and all the usual liberal obsessions. I sent back a simple Christmas card saying Merry Christmas.
Never did receive any more Christmas cards from that person.

It's so sad, the endless hypocrisy of the Left. They shout and scream, oh so grandly, about how 'inclusive', 'non-judgmental' and 'open minded' they are, but when it comes down to the realities of getting along with others of different viewpoints in their own lives, they fall flat on their faces. They would prefer to lose a lifelong friend than to interact with anyone who doesn't embrace Leftist ideology as their religion.
Although I'm sorry that you experienced this loss, it may be beneficial in that it seems the person was 'testing' you, and you 'failed' their silly little test. Good riddance I say, as such a person would not have been a true friend: someone who appreciates the person that you are rather than whether or not you meet their ideological criteria.
My hope is that you have since been Blessed with better friends.
"Never did receive any more Christmas cards from that person."
That's sad, but hopefully it wasn't really political. Just was advised by a good (and very liberal) friend of mine that they wouldn't be sending cards this year, and I shouldn't feel slighted.
