[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. 95% of my friends are liberal. Not rabidly, but liberal. I have acquaintances who are conservative and a few family members who are evangelical, but have a very difficult time reconciling our social beliefs. This quote from a recent Atlantic article really resonates with me: " I used to know Republicans socially. My parents and aunts and uncles all did. I don't anymore. Democrats and Republicans are beginning to dress differently, to wear their hair differently. Limbaugh really thinks that Sandra Fluke is a slut. You simply can't have both of them to dinner." Article: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/11/what-if-the-gop-loses-atlas-shrugged-vs-the-fire-next-time/264556/ [/quote] PP, I hear you, but honestly think this is really sad. I have been so depressed reading my Facebook entries today. People are getting so vitriolic on both sides and it depresses me that we simply can't seem anymore to try to be reasonable and at least listen to other people's points of view. People have different stories, different life circumstances, different ways of looking at things and yet more and more, we all hang out with the same kinds of people, listen to media that agree with us, etc. No wonder the anger level in the country. And guess what. I'm a Republican. [b]I think we'd have a great time having dinner together.[/b] You know, really talking about the issues and why we think like we do. I wish we could all do more of this. [/quote] I don't think so. And, for the record, I know why you think the way you do, no need to explain.[/quote]
