This may explain your difference with your friend:
John 10:
1 Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a strangers voice. 6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.
You say anything remotely intelligent to them and you get a blank stare. I’m convinced they’re braid dead robots.
And that includes kinfolk who I now cannot be around. If I refuse to have a relationship with a non-relative who spews hatred then why should I have a relationship with a relative who does the same?
I am thinking, asking other people questions, searching internet trying to understand where these Palin haters are coming from. This phenomenon is mysterious.
I know the answer.
Irving Janis, a Psych proffessor at Yale studied how groups make bad decisions like the Bay of Pigs. He developed a set of groupthink behaviors to avoid in order to promote good decision making.
The left looked at the behaviors and concluded if they promoted them to strategy instead of avoiding them, they could convince people to stay committed to them and their oppressive ideas/policies.
I've taken the liberty of casting them as commandments.
In particular, pay attention to behavior #4.
I Thou shalt create an illusion of invulnerability shared by most members to foster excessive optimism and encourage extreme risks taking
II Thou shall not allow any member to question the groups inherent morality, instead members shall be encouraged to ignore the ethical or moral consequences of their decisions
III Thou shalt promote collective efforts to rationalize in order to discount warnings, or other information that might lead members to reconsider their assumptions before they recommit themselves to their assumptions
IV Thou shalt reinforce stereotyped views of enemy leaders as too evil to warrant genuine attempts to negotiate, or as too weak and stupid to counter whatever risky attempts are made to defeat their purpose
V Thou shalt self-censor any deviation from the apparent group consensus, inclining each member to minimize the importance of their doubts and counterarguments
VI Thou shalt create and maintain a shared illusion of unanimity concerning judgement conforming to the majority view
VII Thou shalt apply direct pressure on any member who expresses strong arguments against any of the groups stereotypes, illusions, or commitments, making clear that this type of dissent is contrary to what is expected of all loyal members
VIII Thou shalt appoint mindguards to protect the group from adverse information that might shatter their shared complacency about the effectiveness and morality of their decisions
In other words, believe what we tell you and you will not be ostracized from the group.
Also, clearer now why bush was both evil and stupid isn't it. Guess they don't think the left will buy the Sarah is evil thing.

Ah yes, the "enlightened" self-proclaimed feminist crowd. ....a crowd that would convulse with fits of anger if those same slams were directed at lib females.
did you ask him why he thinks that she’s stupid? Was it something she said or did?
Take a look at post #43 by Eddie01
Dear Hollywood Reporter,
Your title is wrong. Try this:
Intoleratant Hollywood Stars’s Spew Venomous Hatred Toward Mother of 5.
There, that is the real title. Not “Palin blasts stars”. It was their malignant hatred on display for all to see, not Palin’s.”
