I have a number of liberal friends. We seldom talk politics, because we value that friendship, but even with them I find myself being careful what I disclose in terms of such things as what firearms I own. I have had a number of liberal acquaintances whose politics are the most important thing in their lives, and with them discourse is simply impossible. Honest to God, I was talking with one of them about snow tires last year and he pipes up, "Not gonna need them when Trump gets through destroying the planet, are we?" We couldn't even talk about snow tires. That's something worse than politics, it's obsession.

Make new friends is my advice. And pray the Civil Cold War doesn't turn hot.

“More recently, another childhood friend, named David, posted this in response to one my Trump-related articles: “How can any Christian support such an immoral and divisive man? He’s broken every commandment and has committed all Seven Deadly Sins. Ask yourself two questions....would Jesus support such behavior?

“Would Jesus treat illegals the same way?

Did David support Barack Obama? Or Bill Clinton? Or Hillary?

Would Jesus treat illegals the same way?

Well, no. Being God He would immediately know who were the evil ones who had bought children for the purposes of selling them into sexual slavery. He would know who was coming only to steal and destroy. Who was bringing in poison to kill. What would happen then would make your delicate little feeling quiver and shiver as He meted out justice.

As for the rest the rules laid down show that He is not fond of house breakers and thieves.

At best the ones who are honestly seeking a new life and to contribute to the country would be told to go back and observe the law by properly asking entrance.

But, as observed, Trump is not God so lacking that advantage he has to do things in the human fashion. Which he has done with great care to behave with justice and mercy.

Sorry that this bothers you.

Quite frankly I suggest that you get down off your holier then thou throne and go actually take a look at what the alien invaders are doing to your fellow country men.

They cannot defend their political positions logically, so they attempt to justify them emotionally.

When people on the right ignore their emotionalism, they have nothing left, so they rage and storm off to seek shelter with emotionally compatible nitwits.

Sorry, when it comes to President Trump, even the gentlest answer provokes unbridled fury.

My only dealing with FB was buying in when it plummeted to 19. I wish I had kept it, but I sold out at 78.

I cant know but I can sense that Jesus would sort through the heart of a political leader with abortion as a primary issue.

And choose Trump over any democrat. So that would be my answer to any left wing Christian. You cant have abortion as a “choice “ you support much less rationalize yourself as compassionate.

Jesus himself was a survivor of Herod’s the slaughter of innocents. And forgave men and women who followed him for for their human sexual and character faults,

My neighbor stop talking to me because I would not except the Homo agenda. If you do not have the same values as him, he hates you. He stops associating with people as they offend him.

Recently he stop attending our Friday Night gatherings (diners), I think the last person in the group who he use to talk to offended him in some way.

Don’t let the hate get you upset. Just pray for them, and hope they change their minds. A lot of people like that have so much hate they can not see the others point of view.

The art of civil discourse using facts, figures, and opinions has gone the way of the dodo.

Almost everyone yells, "Hurray for our side! Boo for your side!", without ever once checking facts, or even saying, "This is my opinion.".

I taught my children to question the facts, situations, people, etc over everything. Questioning myself included. But also told them to be sure of your facts, otherwise you make a fool of yourself.

As I posted a few days ago, virtually all of my gal-pals dumped me when I wore my red cowboy hat to a Halloween party. I’ve worn it every year, but this year, they all went nuts and will not speak to me any more.

Fortunately, I live in a very nice senior complex, beautiful lawns and trees. We had a Labor Day picnic and I met many new neighbors who are definite friend material.

Um, liberals cannot be reasoned with. Facts destroy their world view and make them feel bad.

“...Ask yourself two questions....would Jesus support such behavior?”

I’d say yes...next question.

My mom and dad are in their late 80’s and they have CNN or MSNBC on 24/7. From the bottom of their hearts they HATE Trump.

One example, my mom was admitted to hospital because she was incoherent. They asked her basic questions like what day was it, when was she born, etc. She got every question wrong except “who is the president?”

Neither my brother or myself will engage them in the subject. We will change the subject and just ignore their comments. At their age they are not going to change and we don’t want to have this interfere with our relationship during their final years.

Friends? What these things, "friends"? I don't do Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media, except for FR.

I haven't had what I consider a "friend" since I left high school in 1972. I have and have had acquaintances .. work, golf, and softball (until my knees gave out) .. and I have my immediate family, not all of whom I communicate with either.

Haven't missed 'em ...

Jesus wasn’t a fool...

Jesus NEVER suggested countries drop their borders or their guard... and he knew the difference between this world - and the other. And which one mattered.

Would this man’s Jewish friends accept Palestinians taking over Israel in the name of ‘being a pushover fool’? Is that really what they see Jesus’ message as being? How insulting. How stupid. How vile.

When liberals play the ‘Jesus was a pushover’ card - even when they don’t believe in Him in the first place - it’s dreadful... I would cheer that kind of person dropping me... I don’t need someone like that for a friend or in my life. Or my world for that matter.

Think how insulting it would be if we turned to our Jewish neighbors and used the ‘eye for an eye’ quote to force them into accepting ANY and ALL wars? Too creepy for words.
