I think many FReepers are in a similar situation; maybe a few who like me were unpersoned because we let friends know we follow Christ.

Short article but poignant.

if they would toss you aside because you did what you thought was right in order to advance the cause you believe in, then they weren’t really your friends to begin with.

He also has his family - the Kennedy legacy and brand - to contend with...

But at the very least, with the departure of Senator Cassidy, I pray he will at least have more political allies during the remainder of his service.

Robert Kennedy’s past friends made poor decisions based on ideology and not medical reality which is what guides RFK Junior.

Odd is it not a hyper conservative as myself supports RFK junior. His mission is just rational health care. I am on his side

I am a former democrat, and I lost friends as well. Years later, I couldn’t care less. I made new friends.

I lost a friend I had since my college days because I supported Trump. She chose politics over friendship.

JFK and RK, both of whom I met, were reasonably nice guys. And they were both murered by idiots.

No, he did not really lose 90% of his friends. The 90% were never his friends anyway. He is really better off today without them.

There will come a night of the long knives for all who deny the leftist cause.

A lie is a lie no matter how many people believe it. The truth is still the truth without regard to if anyone accepts it.

We live in a culture that tries to treat truth as a consensus—if enough people agree on a narrative, you’re expected to fall in line. But compliance isn’t community. If standing by facts and objective reality means your circle shrinks, let it shrink.

They say you never forget where you were when JFK was murdered. I was only 3 at the time and I still don't know where I was !
