I would imagine many of you out there have a similar friend.

[Gaffer]

Actually, no. Nor would I. I don’t believe in compromising principles and ideology for the sake of a non-relative friendship. But I don’t fault you for your friendship.

[al baby]

RIP to your friend. After Obama was elected I cut my liberal friends off want nothing to do with them they are pure evil

[Always Right]

Well it is a nice you did something, but it probably would have been more appropriate to make the donation to the American Heart Association or something similar you agreed upon. God bless him and may he rest in peace.

[seatrout]

Sure. Bill Buckley had some friends that were way over on the other side. And I can’t forget the Ed Meese/Bob Beckel friendship (talk about an odd couple). Those two had quite a yuck-up on a long ago episode of “Crossfire.” Sorry for your loss.

[Y2Bogus]

Is there a charity that you and he could both support, like a charity for children with disabilities or children’s cancer hospital?

[svcw]

Sorry for your loss.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I did, but he became so arrogant and insufferable after the election that I don’t trust myself to go near him.

[DogBarkTree]

Condolences to you for your loss but I would never call a liberal a friend. I have a family member who I use to be close to who is now dead to me. She can cling to her 9/11 Truther moonbat beliefs if she wants but she’ll do it without her brother in her life.

It is ironic that while the Left is always preaching "tolerance", they are the ones who practice it least. Not only will most left-wingers have nothing to do with anybody who does not fall in lockstep with their views, but they adopt a sheer hatred for those people that approaches the level of hatred that Adolph Hitler had for the Jews. Considering how quick they are to silence conservatives when they get the opportunity (such as getting talk show hosts fired), if they had the opportunity to line us up against a wall and shoot us, they'd do it in a heartbeat. In their warped minds, we should be dead for having our beliefs.

When Ronald Reagan died a few years ago, I saw a couple of liberals at work high-five each other and the joy on their faces must have been the same that the Nazis had when they herded those people into the gas chambers.

It is conservatives who truly practice tolerance and a respect for other opinions.

[MonicaG]

I do, and some no longer “associate” with me, but I love them dearly in spite of their political near-sightedness (history has taught them NOTHING!) and I’m sorry for your loss. I totally understand.

[Lancey Howard]

I can’t imagine having as a “friend” somebody who is so rude and selfish that he would stroll into the polling place on election day and vote for big government to confiscate more money from his neighbors. I admit, I do have acquaintances like that, but that’s as far as they’ll ever get with me.

FRegards,

Sorry for the loss of your friend. Yes, I do have a similar friend. Her husband was my health teacher, she is a special ed teacher. I have co-treated with several times. She is not only liberal but an atheist to boot. Obviously, we NEVER talk politics or God. She is the warmest, most caring albeit misguided person I know. She hits all the garage sales buying up clothes & household goods for some of the low income families she works with. Once we were returning from one of these expeditions when we had a near miss with another car & she said “If I believed in God I would be praying thanks right about now” I told her not to worry as I included her in my prayer.

[Kimmers]

I love your sense of humor......I would have done the same thing.....

[floridavoter2]

I have a friend who is like that too, to the point of being irrational. Only hears what he wants to hear. Obama could say he wants to blow off the head of every American and my friend would twist it to mean what he wants it to mean. Of course, he listens to Olbermann, which explains a lot.

[supremedoctrine]

Left-wing political “beliefs” are all “attitude”.
And most of the people who hold those beliefs are
prime cases of arrested development.
The never talk about their experience, but are always
ready to defer to someone else’s experience, as the justification for honoring all the conceit-beliefs they have. They externalize their own paltry selves for the good
of the “collective”, while at the same time glorying in their righteousness and open mindedness for having these
theoretical and abstract ‘ideas’ in the first place.
I have a hard time even talking to these types at all any
more, since my political arguments BEGIN AT A POINT THEIRS NEVER GET TO.

[GladesGuru]

“I would imagine many of you out there have a similar friend.”

I had many such friends. Interestingly, now that their incomes are threatened, Liberalism seems to have lost its fascination for some of them.

The rest are being replaced with different, non-Liberal friends.

I’m not Jesus, therefore don’t have eternity, and thus won’t suffer fools willingly.

[kabumpo]

Amnesty Int, though Left-leaning, has made efforts to help prisoners of conscience in Leftist countries.

[BenLurkin]

I’m sorry for your loss. May God grant you comfort now and in the coming weeks.

[Lazamataz]

Friendship transcends belief-systems. Luck and godspeed to you.

[fieldmarshaldj]

RIP.
