Can Conservatives Have Liberal Friends, Or Even Partners?

If you are working with a liberal employee then so be it. Only a fool would ever be friends with a liberal. Only a complete idiot would go into a partnership with one.

They might try to charm you but they are all a blood-sucking disease. Leftists are pure evil and should never be trusted with anything too important.

I’m actually struggling with this right now. I live were the majority of people are crazy libs, so I have always had acquantances but not friends. I was fine with that. Then I started walking my dogs with a woman up the street and her dog. We had become friends and did not talk politics. I knew she was a lib and she knew I was a conservative.

Unfortunately, in the last week she has become insulting against Ted Cruz, the Tea Party and Conservatives in general. I have fought back. Last night was just too much for me when she started whining about how the republicans were going to make us default, along with the usual lib talking points.

I now wish I had stuck to my no lib friends rule. Today I have walked my dogs alone and gone up the hill away from her home so she will not see me. She has also not come by so maybe she has decided we shouldn’t be friends either. I am actually okay with this.

I believe I was right to beging with, you can be “friendly” with libs but you can’t be true friends. Libs are just to exhausting to my mental health.

Seriously some of these people are more right-leaning than Reagan. Too bad they dont vote like that.

I've got a cousin like that. He's a great traditional husband and father solidly socially conservative and a hard left indoctrinated union organizer.

Those conflicting ideals are like matter and antimatter.

My husband was a liberal, Clinton supporter when we married. That changed and now he is a wonderful, conservative man. I joke that I turned him to the dark side. All he really needed was another point of view, one he had never gotten his entire life.

I have many liberal friends and we never talk about politics....

I was in Susanville and Shasta recently

Great folks

Seemed conservative

Am I wrong?

”Seriously, Don, you’re a megalomaniac. And I don’ t care to hear your flatulence rising from the right wing fever swamps. To quote you from yesterday, why don’t you go f*** yourself. I’m blocking you.”

There are two types who talk this way: deadbeats and leftists

They are all less than human and should be treated like the scum they are.

If that is the case, I have several “conservative” states that have some explaining to do.

[ealgeone]

you’re trying to mix oil and water.

I probably face this dilemma more than anyone else on here. 99 % of my coworkers are rabid and outspoken Obama supporters. Political discussions devolve into how Democrats are brilliant and are working on ingenuous plans to save the economy and how Obama is so eloquent and Michelle Obama is so eloquent and inspirational and fashionable and intellectual and so awe inspiring. And how we need much more gov’t in all areas of our lives and anyone who disagrees must be a white male with too much privilege who has never had any real adversity in their lives or experienced how the other half lives. And if there is a major national disaster, no worries at all because Obama and the Democrats will be political superheroes who can rescue us all. Yeah, that is the cliffnotes of what political discussions where I work turn into.

What the hell kind of job is this?! Are you a journalist or something?!

I have found that most of the liberals I have met are confirmed Users, as in people who use other people. I don’t much care for people who are permanently in search of servants.

I tend to avoid Progressives in general. Family members that are Progressive Democrats don’t see me very much - I try to avoid contact. I don’t hid my Tea Party support and involvement.

If you want to know what being married to a leftist woman would be like, imagine being locked in a small room with Pelosi.

Don’t expect a straight answer out of them. Ye shall know them by their fruits, after all.

Since liberalism is the political expression of Humanism, which is at its root the rejection of the Creator and His reality,

there really is no common ground.

In the beginning, God (and the need to be accountable to Him)
or
In the beginning, nothing (and no need to be accountable to anything except yourself)

No, not at all. California is actually a Conservative state, but the liberal areas such as: San Francisco Bay Area (were I live), Hollywood, San Fernando Valley are liberal and get all the attention. They are also densely populated so control elections. However, Sacramento Valley (including Susanville), Tahoe, the Central Valley, Orange County, San Diego are all either somewhat or very Conservative. I have family who live in the Central Valley (farm country) and it’s a great to visit normal people.

If you let your politics determine who you can be friends with, you are making a mistake in life. JMO

I think I’d find another job if I were you. Hostile work environment, if not brain-dead.

Do any of them know how to fight? Do any of them believe in being able to kick ass and get things done on their own without men doing it for them? Do any of them compete or have competed in athletics at elite levels and therefore are in superior physical condition to the average women? Do any of them look like this: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://orangecoastcrossfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/women-pic-4.jpg&imgrefurl=http://orangecoastcrossfit.com/crossfit-for-women/&h=333&w=500&sz=157&tbnid=sMuD6qBWjTQfQM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=135&zoom=1&usg=__3S5Q3JJShg6D_QJw1vD8wm8fY8s=&docid=VkTYDupt-h-fOM&sa=X&ei=lPheUp2yB-jE4AOh4oC4DA&ved=0CC8Q9QEwAg as opposed to being weak and powerless?
