I don’t have any liberal friends and do not associate with liberals other than to scoff at them.
How is the liberal going to get that message if they have blocked you?
Consider losing Liberal friends as “thinning the herd”...
I did not lose any friends. I merely found out who my friends really were.
It has been invaluable to me in cutting out the wheat from the chaff.
Here I stand, I can do no more.
Three years ago I called a guy I went to graduate school many years ago when I discovered that he had retired from his academic position and moved a lot closer, One of the first things he said was that he didn’t want to associate with anyone conservative, so I told him that was OK with me and I haven’t called him since.
No, since we know are political leaning we don’t discuss politics. However we managed to loose friends in the neighborhood when put up a Mitt Romney sign and he isn’t even a conservative. But, they kept trying to tare it down, plus some vandalism.
I have had girlfriends dump me. I have had long time friends disappear. My parents don’t even talk to me. The cult of Obama is strong.
I work the other way around - I don’t consider anyone a friend unless they have a basic philosophy like mine.
Well, if they "blocked" you, then they wouldn't have seen your meme, right?
I, too, am friendly, but not close, with some liberals. But invariably that means don’t discuss politics with them. They dismiss all criticism of the “anointed one” as “Obama bashing.” Most get very agitated because they have no way to defend liberalism or the Obamanation. They can be rational on a few other subjects.
My sister, last week.
With all this healthy lifestyle, she now has TB, doctors don't know how she got it (could it be that “fresh” food from some foreign country?), and it's the kind that isn't transmitted person to person. She is on several different antibiotics a day for a year, then to be reevaluated. I'm not sure she will be alive a year from now as she is susceptible to any germ that comes along. When your lungs don't want to work, it's a big problem.
It’s happened to me, more than once. I live in true blue Puget Sound (Seattle/Tacoma) and so know a LOT of libs. Doesn’t keep me from spouting my opinion. Have had some LIVELY conversations on facebook. Some people can’t handle it and unfriend, others respect my opinion and we have interesting discussions. I have friends that are VERY conservative/religious, and others that are vegan/animal rescue, so it gets interesting, to say the least.
The ones I know who are not jerks just stopped talking about politics around me when they realized I would not agree with them, and that I would articulate my point and call them out for cutting me off.
What I have found is that nearly all of my FB friends, even my conservative friends, don’t want to see ANYTHING “political”.
People just want to go their merry way without thinking and talking about how bad things are. They would rather ignore it. It’s very disappointing. Maybe they’ll care once they’ve lost everything?
I have liberal relatives. I have learned that it is impossible to debate a liberal. If I ask them a question about economics and they cannot answer the question they will always yell at me and call me names. The globull warming liberals are the worst. One of them told me that the arctic ice cap is melting and the oceans will rise. I asked him if a container of ice will overflow when the ice melts. I asked who do I believe, Al Gore or Archimedes. He called me an a**&$@e After the ad hominem attacks they always go to the straw man arguments,like “you would let the children starve to death, wouldn’t you!” I still remember back in the 80’s when my nephew with the Ivy League education told me what a great guy Robert Mugabe is. You can choose your friends, but you cannot choose your relatives. I choose not to associate with liberals, especially when they are drinking.
Like the Bible says, kill ‘em with kindness, and pray for them. They hate that!
Only a month and a half ago? Piker. :)
