You must have a lot more friends than I do if you can afford to toss them aside because of their politics. My life has a lot of diversity and includes people I don't agree with on politics, religion, fashion, culture, sports teams, abortion, euthanasia, pets, etc. Politics has replaced religion as the big divide. I support your decision to campaign, to be a poll watcher/attendant, to write letters to the editor, to fund raise, to go on marches carrying signs I disagree with. But, if you're so narrowly focused in your relationships that no one is allowed near you who isn't a Democrat or a Socialist, what's the point? Are you afraid of a new idea? Do you think you'll change minds with tantrums? You've never watched Glenn Beck or Fox News, you wouldn't dream of reading the opinion columns of the Wall Street Journal, or trying to understand a market economy, but you certainly have opinions about them. Conservatives can't avoid an alternative viewpoint--it's everywhere. But you guys live in a bubble residing inside a cloud, and you seem to sense that it's a very fragile universe in there so no light, air or heat is allowed.
