I have a bumper sticker on my car that says "Proud Member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy." She asked me very seriously what the "VRWC" is and I explained that we are a subversive group that believe in God and want our taxes cut.
On the days that she visits me at work, we listen to Boortz and Rush together, and for the most part, she laughs along with me. Unfortunately, last week, Rush went off about "low sperm count and men's bicycles" and lost an opportunity to convert.
I think she is gullible and deluded. She would like to say that Republicans are mean and uncompassionate, but her personal experience with me gives the lie to that. Don't give up on your lefty friends. They pride themselves on being "open." You, as a conservative, must pride yourself on loving the truth. ;)
