She not really your friend.
“My liberal friend Pam and I...”
If you are a true conservative, you are deluded. Starting with a faulty premise. Conservatives can tolerate liberals; they can not reciprocate. They don’t think you are wrong, they think you are evil. Scrape them off...
Had a friend like this once. Wanted to start putting topics “off limits” to discuss. The list would have been sure to keep growing. If you can’t honestly tell people you think what they are doing is wrong and/or dangerous to themselves in certain cases, they really don’t want you as a true, sharing friend. They want you to be something you’re not. They want you as a compartmentalized friend who never irritates or questions anything they’re doing.
Best to be honest with them that by their own words, they are the ones rejecting your friendship by placing artificial restrictions of ‘taboo topics’ out there. You’ll never know if what you’re going to say will tick them off and now we have a new off-limits topic.
Take something from the liberal that she really values and give it to a homeless person.
When she protests, just tell her that you are redistributing wealth to those who really need it.
I have such liberal friends one is Muslim a convert. She likes to wave around her Masters degree while she still works at Krogers.
She’s a Leftists not a Liberal because Leftists hate liberty.
Pam doesn’t need to worry about her student loans. Somehow I think we, the taxpayers will end up paying them off.
As for basing opining on feeeeeeeeeeelings, that's what got us into this current debacle. People voted for Obama because they wanted the Kodak Moment of a person of color in The White House
It certainly wasn't because of any of his accomplishments either as a State or US Senator. I know of none.
I know this feeling between friends. I think whatever views sustains the leftist`s life is, in someways, good. People need to believe in something. There is nothing Nancy can do but find common ground on another topic. Nancy is smart enough to know that Pam will not change her political stripes, that it is like talking about two different religions people have committed their lives to. Politics in this sense transcends reason. So if there is something to value in Pam, then value that, and stay clear of politics.
What you don't understand is the Liberalism is a Religion, and your are speaking BLASPHEME!
Facts do not matter, nor does history, or critical thinking. All that matters is the feeling of doing good. Liberal NEVER own up to the consequences. They sow destruction and blame someone else. Just look at the illegal alien in the White House.
One would hope that Pam is willing to keep her liberal yammering to herself as well. If so, the friendship might work out.
Personally, I'd dump Pam in a second. I just wouldn't have enough in common with her to make the friendship worth my time.
