Otherwise lovely people. Some of my best friends are Stepford Democrats who wake up in the morning to NPR and actually pay money to see Bill Maher. Otherwise lovely people.

They have to destroy humanity to save it, Danny. Or save the environment (their investment portfolios) at the least. LOL, Danny.

I may not trust their values and judgment, but I still like them as people. I try to be as understanding with them as I would be with anyone else that is emotionally, mentally, intellectually and otherwise developmentally challenged. It distresses me when I see professed conservatives degrade themselves with hate speech, invective, name-calling or other symptoms of having descended to their Demcrat/Liberal/Left opponents' level. Now, the hard Left, that's another story...they are plainly bad people willing to do mayhem to humanity in the name of "humanity". I, too, have friends on the Liberal/Left.

I was needling you a little. I have a very dear, old friend who worked for many years as a staff member for Senator John Glenn. I had always thought that we were more or less on the same page politically, but concluded that he must have regressed to become a Democrat. So, for years I avoided partisan political discussion so as to avoid the possiblility of conflict. Much to my pleasure I eventually learned that he was still a Conservative Republican. His experience was instructive. He loved Senator Glenn and was very loyal to him; and the Senator, who was aware of his politics, thought highly of my friend. They somehow managed to avoid, or finesse, the political issues. Of course Senator Glenn, was pretty conservative on National Security matters, which was my friend's area of expertise. It was a different mileu and political people could cooperate toward common goals despite some differences. Maybe we will see such an environment again. I understand what you are saying Bookworm.

His "message is important," so the messenger's personal conduct is irrelevant. On the other hand, my friend is very irritated by the San Francisco dictat banning plastic bags.

I can't believe that you could have a friend who is that obtuse. I confess that I do have a few long-standing friends, as well as family members, with whom I would never discuss politics because I care for them; and it would hurt too much to hear them say something like that.
