I could write an encyclopedia on how that works.
Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t gonna resign.
It's a good description of how the Left reacts to those who don't buy into their group-think - and boy 'o boy if you ever leave the fold, you're going to be shunned.
He will be happier and more content, except when he has to listen to his liberal friends.

Anyone ever notice how liberals say they are all about family, but then turn around and want to kill babies and take a child away from someone who could have adopted that child. What a bunch of hypocrites and vipers!
I have some relatives with that same smugness.
Thanks for this. Was just having a conversation with my teen daughters on the “idiots” at school. “So he said that Bush was friends with Osama bin Ladin, but then went against him. Bush created Osama bin Ladin”. I asked him if he was an idiot. Next time I’m going to punch him.”
I tried to get across how you can’t do that, and it won’t help. You need to present a reasoned argument. Of course that is tough to do when people just spew stuff, and you are only 17 years old and don’t know the Afghan/Soviet history. (I tried to explain the best I could).
She did send an email to one of her teachers that told the story of how Jesus turned some girl into an owl for not giving Him bread. (I’m guessing that is from the fake book of Thomas). And she already had emailed another teacher that said “Palin said she can see Russia from her house.”
It is really sad that these teachers are so indoctrinated and SOOOOO stupid. BTW- these teachers are going on a one-day walkout. I showed my kids the law that says that is illegal.
Also showed them where their history teacher makes $79,000 a year (well - a school year), compared to the national median of about $55,000 (which is lower than what it was in 2008). And they want a “cost of living” increase. Even though they agreed to a contract without it.
(oops - got off topic.)
For me, the shelf-life on redemption has been exceeded. I want the sky to split open.

I’m a Ronald Reagan-style Conservative. But, in all fairness, I must say this: Yes, the Ultra-Left Liberals are vile, mean-spirited and vindictive. However, the same can be said for some of our Ultra-Right Conservative brothers and sisters as well. Even here on this website; if you dare to disagree with them on any one point or veer one iota from their “Purist Doctrine” they will chew you up, spit you out and then label you as a “troll” or “DU plant” so all of their “Purist” friends can ostracize you as well. I’m thinking that “People who live in glass houses......”

But it is worth the effort.
Remember that a conservative is a former liberal who has been mugged.
Shunned-but better for it
been there, done that.
leftists are never to be trusted
I have a very diverse family tree (in terms of both melanin and different faiths). Im Causasian but grew up in a mostly Black neighborhood in the city of Pittsburgh (we were the minority). One of my best friends, white, 30 grew up in the lily pad suburb where I now live. She is a school teacher (even a union rep when she taught full time). Her church is as “pale” as our surrounding zip code. Yet, as a true believing, only votes Dem unionistsa zealot, she PROUDLY proclaimed ANYONE who didn’t vote for #Obama (either time) as a “RAAAACIST.”
Needless to say, we avoid the topic of politics. Her husband is very conservative. She can’t believe they “anyone” like me, could NOT be a Democrat...LOLZ.
No forgiveness, ever. Get lost.
Well, I’ve noticed that the only people beating up Bruce Jenner worse than his “tolerant” liberal “friends” since he admitted to being a conservative are people here on FR.
The social mechanism of the totalitarian state is political correctness.
The liberal way of socialization is to abdicate logic and refer to the latest political correctness standard on any issue.
If one is a genuine thinker, one cannot actually be a contemporary liberal.
Look at the issue of global warming for example, where liberals have actually created an alternate reality, occupied by pseudo scientists who actually receive federal funding to solidify the myth of global warming.
There is no global warming. What we have is a long term state of climate change back and forth over millenia. During the Cretaceous period on earth, there was no ice anywhere, just forest and jungle from pole to pole, 20% more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, yet life still thrived and evolved.That was approximately 80 million years ago.
And the left want us to believe that the world is ending due to climate change?
Its just a way to create a totalitarian state, when in fact people just do not want that at all.
No, its perfectly fine for Liberals to wake up and realize they are on the wrong side of the view of how the world works. The more, the merrier.
For a wake up on so called climate change, this is a good site:

We have those among conservatives right here on FR.....the ones who will not accept anyone who is not a life-long Christian conservative and perfect on every issue since their birth. Good conservatives who become more conservative are rejected by these "purists" as untrustworthy.
It is not very different from the gay or liberal mafia.
I’ve worked at a very small business for 10 years.
My boss, who is also a very good friend, is a great guy, but very leftist. Considers himself a socialist.
When I started work he spent quite some time trying to convert me. Failed miserably every time. Largely because he’d spent his entire life in the liberal echo chamber and had never been exposed to the facts and opinions I showed him.
His problem was that he believed any conservative was by definition evil, stupid or both. And of course he was well aware I was neither.
So rather than re-examining his own belief system, we just stopped talking about political and related issues. Created too much cognitive dissonance for him.
However, I have recently come to the conclusion that he’s not nearly as liberal as he thinks he is. So there’s hope.
Liberals are “offended” by conservative viewpoints because those viewpoints devalue the liberals source of self-righteousness.
