When Friends Aren't

Link to Girl on the Right

I'm in the same situation as Right Girl.

My best friend is a Bush-hating Democrat. That is to say, she oozes vitriol, and her face contorts at the mere mention of his name.

While nothing can erase our history, our future is dim. We can't discuss politics, and that's a lot harder than it sounds. This friendship is going to be a lot less meaningful if we're not free to discuss our beliefs.

One of my main issues with the left is that while they are free to scream their opinions at the top of their lungs while we sit by reverently listening, we are not even allowed a simple whisper of different view without setting them off on a tangeant. It's exhausting having to listen to it, but sometimes oit's simpler just to smile and nod your head in agreement, because these people are so vehement in their rightiousness that a 15 year friendship really could end with the words "I don't think Bush is as bad as everyone thinks he is..."
