There is a liberal who shoots regularly with our gun club . Nice guy but a little ditzy. We just ignore his politics. Poor guy about had apoplexy when several of us showed up wearing Trump hats. laugh

None.

I have even unfriended relatives that are liberals posting insane liberal crap I didn't want to read constantly.

I have friends who are liberal. We somehow manage to co-exist. I have many faults.

But of course. If I limited myself to those solely restricted to my line of thinking, there'd be no reason to talk to anyone.

I had a friend from high school who is a self proclaimed liberal. and is also anti gun.
We had many interesting conversations--

So, a few years ago, he took a gun to the hospital where his wife was, and her daughter, (his step daughter) was there, shot the daughter and himself.

Funny how anti gun folks use a gun when it fits their needs!

That's why they dont like guns. They are crazy and they know it. They think everyone is as crazy as they are. Projection. Also, they know they cant be trusted.

No and I simply couldn't be. They are my enemies. They'll go to the voting booth and happily vote to take my rights and freedom away. I wouldn't piss on one if they were on fire. I might throw them a can of gasoline though.
Posted By: super T Re: Have Liberal Freinds? - 02/12/20
I have no close friends who are liberals because it's my experience that all too many libs are very unhappy people, anti-everything. I see them as very toxic. It's often emotionally exhausting just being around them. Life too short to listen to their negativity. It's just plain unhealthy being around someone who blames the world for their terrible life choices.
Posted By: JeffyD Re: Have Liberal Freinds? - 02/12/20
My wife's whole family are libs. Not her, though - registered Repub., NRA member. Hard to avoid that gang, but we don't discuss politics with them. I have lost friends over differing political beliefs (maybe they weren't really friends, after all).
Posted By: 280Rem1 Re: Have Liberal Freinds? - 02/13/20
Any enemy of our constitution and our U.S. sovereignty is an enemy of mine.
Anybody that wants to restrict my beliefs, my freedoms and my country's history because it doesn't fit their liking is an enemy of mine. So no... I have no liberal friends.

Can't for the life of me understand being "friends" with anyone who wishes to destroy our country and way of life. They are the enemy. I have removed a niece, nephew and brother-in-law from our family trust in the last 3 years, and spoken to none of them beyond legal matters...

I've never unfriended anybody for being liberal, but many have unfriended me for being me. I went pro-Trump hard during the last election and the snowflakes started melting. I have very few FB friends anyway as I'm very selective. There are some liberals on there I went to High School or Junior High with. I just ignore their BS.

I'm sure there are liberals who think I'm their conservative friend because my general demeanor is friendly, but I mostly avoid people on a whole when I can.Only thing you can affect is who you are and the example you set.

Neighbors having a bonfire a month or so back (urban backyard in northern Virginia)... most of them know me well and are friends.

Zombie apocalypse comes up in conversation...

One couple (retired combat Marines) that I have know for years asks where I will go... I said "Don't know, but I do have a few sets of keys."

They laughed and said... "we are coming with you".

Our liberal and anti gun neighbor said "I am coming too, but you can't bring any guns, I hate guns and my kids are scared of them".

I didn't say anything other than "You will probably be better off without me."

Told my wife later... she said "You are mean... we will need someone to throw over the fence to feed the zombies."

Remembered an old work poster...

The final straw in dumping him was when he started deleting my posts that didn't tow the line with his psycho liberal droppings. His entire timeline was almost completely liberal rants, Bernie blatherings, and Noam Chomsky bolshevik crap.

I have taken to separating new-school authoritarian Leftists from free speech loving old school Liberals.

The former won’t tolerate me while I’ve found that our love of the first (and sometimes even 2nd) amendment give me common ground with the latter.

I am not on FB, but I’ll have a peaceful, respectful conversation with anyone. If someone wants to call names or whatever I figure that’s egg on their face and says more about them than me.

Our country can’t endure these authoritarian leftists, and keeping open dialog between paleo-Conservatives and old school Liberals demonstrates a commitment to the American ideal of free expression.

Besides if I didn’t talk to any Liberals many of you’d be out as I’m to the right of nearly all y’all.

No liberal friends. Been that way for decades.
Know a bunch from art/music.
I'm friendly to them, and to those at work.

But I'll vote to crush them every chance I get.
And I don't sugar coat stuff around them.
They start their chit, I'll shut it down, in front of everybody.

They can go on rants and raise hell, but not where I'm at.
Have a couple conservative coworkers that are tired of the crap too.

I told him that since he is retired, he no longer has to kiss their a$$ and campaign for the Dems. He got pissed and doesn't talk to me much. Fugg him.

I've got five blood kin kids. Three of them are libtards. I don't know why, they were all raised in church (Southern Baptist) and were raised shooting and hunting, yet the three turned out liberal. Their mother is quite conservative, their youngest brother and oldest sister are conservative. I don't know what the hell happened. But I don't unfriend them and we co exist. My oldest boy is one of the liberals. We argue continuously on FB Messenger. But I love him and he loves me. We get along in real life and we don't bring up politics when we're together. But I have to admit our arguments are fun and quite entertaining, LOL!!!

No liberal friends, but I do have a cousin who is a Bernie Sanders supporter. From her last email to me:

"...I know we are on different planets when it comes to politics and religion. I know it is probably best we don't even try to talk about it. However, if you could ever help me understand why good Christian people would think someone of Donald Trump's morals and manner as being a good choice for leading our nation, I would appreciate a thoughtful and kind explanation, but I do not wish to argue about anything..."

She received a very thoughtful, reasoned reply from me after which I have received no response back. It's just as well.

Is a registered Democrat a liberal that has never once voted for a Democrat for president (12 elections) (10 times Republican, 2 Libertarian)? Also if he favors labor unions right to enforce contracts? If he favors public help for the truly helpless? If he is against foreign military adventure?

Posted By: joken2 Re: Have Liberal Freinds? - 02/13/20

Registered Democrat "Friends" -- Yes, a fair amount.. Liberal socialist acquaintances --- also yes , but not what I would call "Friends".

In my area like many traditionally 'old school' Democrat areas across the country, candidates might as well forget about running for local offices as a Republican so they run as Democrats but on conservative platforms.

Also, being local people you have a better chance of knowing them personally, their values and about them as real people.

Most would be surprised how many registered Democrats, especially 'old school' Dems, vote for Republicans in state and national elections but Democrat in local elections for that very reason.

As an example here in my county as of 2014 there were about 5 times as many registered Democrats as Republicans but in 2016 Trump / Pence got 3 times as many votes as Hillary / Kane did.







Posted By: arky65 Re: Have Liberal Freinds? - 02/13/20
No, I do not? Our oldest couples friends are conservative as it gets "Christians", gun owners, but believe Republicans = the rich and Democrats = for the poor/working man.

When I point out the Dem's position on, 2a, abortion, higher taxes, Uranium One, Christianity, wealth redistribution, etc, they resort to deflection, Russia, Russia,Russia, etc.

"my daddy and his daddy and his daddy voted Democrat", wake up the party left you

Imo, many Southern Democrats 40 and older, that I know have a severe case of cognitive dissolution.

What’d they plan to kill zombies with - plastic straws?

Had a colleague who said one day “Anyone who has guns needs psychiatric help!”

Asked her what she would do if I handed her a gun right then. She said “Look for someone to kill!”

I said “You’re the one who needs psychiatric help.”
