I don’t associate with any liberals, family or not so no problem.
This is a tough problem, if people get political.
We, the conservatives of Free Republic, are among the most conservative of conservatives in America.
And many of us have people in our group of family and friends who are more liberal than we are. So it does become a struggle, if the more liberal people in our social circles start spewing out liberal pablum. Do we do point/counter point discussions with them, just let it go like water off a duck’s back when they spew out their nonsense, or what do we do?
