Does Politics Affect Your Friendships?

Well you came to my aid and helped, even though you can see we are at opposite ends politically so I can say you're a good person who goes above politics. Me too...I've never been the one who pulled the plug.

We haven't really had a debate yet, though. ;)

Oh...one more thing Noomi...that face that looks at me as I'm reading your posts makes it tough to argue with :tongue:
 
franco's a lu lu !!!!

Very clever...so Obama had total control of congress for two years (as Pubs and dupes repeat endlessly), despite 200 Pub filibusters?

Or help did not arrive in Bengazi within 25 minutes, and thhere weren't 20 embassy protests the same day, before Bengazi- due to outrage at that video? LOL

You have your own BS "facts"-

So it's RWers that do the friendship endings I've seen. It's censoring of the truth and name calling- see ignoring on here- who does it?. See sig for many more RW lies and character assassination...
 
yeah, they actually believe that the disability claims were all legit , and had nothing at all to do with a lousy economy created by obama policy :uhoh3:

So you completely blame Obama for an economy he inherited?

I have 2 friends who are hard core Obama bashes, but went on disability in the last 4 years. I love to give them shit about taking Obama money. :badgrin:
 
I have one friend who thinks he's Rush Limbaugh and EVERYTHING is politics...

of course more people try for disability in the SECOND Pub Great Depression. Just think what it would be like if UE and Welfare hadn't been extended. BTW, thanks for 3 1/2 yearsof mindless obstruction too, and the 24/7 fear mongering...

I have one friend

thats pretty sad Frankie.....hey you want me to be your buddy?......:eusa_angel:

No , i blame him 4 years later for making it much worse !!

see this post right here.

this is why politics does effect my friendships.

when I discover anyone I know believes and traffics in lies and refuses the information that proves them wrong I cant help but have much less respect for that person.


You jsut stated a fucking lie like it was truth.

I dont much like people I in my life who embrace lies
 

Which is bs, since from the beginning you assumed the answer. You were wrong then, haven't become more correct now.

No, I assumed facts. None of you NaziCons have EVER provided a "factual" accounting of the debt Obama has added - that wasn't a direct or indirect result of Bush actions and policies. You simply like to say every penny of debt since Obama was sworn in is his fault - but that isn't factual.

everybody who disagrees with this asshole is a Nazi.....and then he wonders why he gets treated like a piece of shit....

you must hate yourself then....
 
The OP and his "friend" have to post to each other on a messageboard. I doubt either one of them has any "friends" outside of the Internet.

Sad really.
 
obamaworship has affected lots of friendships and family relationships. I can't tolerate democrats of any kind, I wouldn't spit on one if they were on fire. They'd have it coming.
 
This thread represents the typical right winger, aka American conservative, aka republican. It asked a question and then indulges in a circle jerk of the anti Obama choir. Pointing fingers at this bogeyman "liberal,' who only exists because without a foe the birdbrains would have to look in a mirror. Nothing brings together dipshits like a common enemy.

Republicans have been a failure for at least 80 years, check my sig for proof, but I never hold that against friends or family who cannot think outside the world of foes and demons as opposed to a world in which work and thought is required. Children sometimes grow up, sometimes. Republicans are at their best outside of power for when given power they fail every time. "Why Conservatives Can't Govern" by Alan Wolfe

"Though it is often claimed that the left stands for equality while the right stand for freedom, the notion misstates the actual disagreement between right and left. Historically, the conservative has favored liberty for the higher orders and constraint for the lower orders. What the conservatives sees and dislikes in equality, in other words, is not a threat to freedom but its extension." Corey Robin



"The rise of conservative politics in postwar America is one of the great puzzles of American political history. For much of the period that followed the end of World War II, conservative ideas about the primacy of the free market, and the dangers of too-powerful labor unions, government regulation, and an activist, interventionist state seemed to have been thoroughly rejected by most intellectual and political elites. Scholars and politicians alike dismissed those who adhered to such faiths as a "radical right," for whom to quote the Columbia University historian Richard Hofstadter politics "becomes an arena into which the wildest fancies are projected, the most paranoid suspicions, the most absurd superstitions, the most bizarre apocalyptic fantasies." How, then, did such ideas move from their marginal position in the middle years of the twentieth century to become the reigning politics of the country by the century's end?" Kim Phillips-Fein ('Invisible Hands')


"Television and radio, though, had a homogenizing effect on the right, and the tension between class (with a high tone) and ideology (rabble rousing) worked itself out, with the millionaires learning how to sound angry and enjoy it, and the grassroots getting trained to accept anger as a substitute for policy results. The populist New Right and Buchananite right lost their manpower to Roger Ailes, while the elite right gave up the fight for realism and broadmindedness." Daniel McCarthy

Politics has been separating people for years. It isn't new and didn't start with obama. In 2004, the basis for divisions and the separation of the people was the subject of a book called The Big Sort.

Home

We've built a country where we can all choose the neighborhood and church and news show — most compatible with our lifestyle and beliefs. And we are living with the consequences of this way-of-life segregation. Our country has become so polarized, so ideologically inbred, that people don't know and can't understand those who live just a few miles away.

I don't want to know democrats, I don't want to understand them, help them or even have to say hello to them.
 
No.

People who allow politics to impede friendships are small people.

I dont make friends with people who traffic in known lies.


This current republican party does just that.

Its not about the differing ideas for me .

Its about the willingness of the people on the right in this country to accept fucking lies and IGNORE cold hard court documented FACTS.

I dont make friends with liars.

they dont make good friends
 
I'm about as anti Obama as you will find but I have liberal friends who I argue with but would NEVER drop our friendship over political views. However some have dissed me. :lol:

What about you? Have you been dissed or would you end a friendship over politics?

I DID drop a good, but liberal, friend for two years. My heart ached for her though, and we have made up, however I have no respect for liberals, thus any and all friendships with them, are no longer valued as deeply as before they cast a vote for socialism.

I AM happy to report that the best friend I dropped for two years, regretted voting for o, in `08, and now considers herself an independent. ( a step up ) :lol:
 
Can you be more specific. For example, how much debt has Obama created that wasn't a direct/indirect result of Bush actions and policies?
Do you mean that you believe in joe biden's ''you have to spend more to get out of debt'' ?? Not trying to be a wiseguy

The following link is specifically what I mean:

http://www.usmessageboard.com/polit...a-direct-indirect-result-of-bush-actions.html

The Bush created this debt argument is a lame one. All of the programs Bush created expanded under Obama tenfold. Obama didn't create food stamps either. Besides, if Bush's programs were so bad for the country, how come he hasn't tried to repeal any of them?

Having friends of other political persuasions is a lot of fun.

Why do you think I'm a member of this message board?
Because I like to argue. Me and my friends are grown-ups. We don't take it personally when we disagree.
