I don't attempt to make friends with liberals. I do not think they are capable of friendship. They'll stab you in the back, because they buy into the culture's notions of "ends justifying the means." Broken eggs=omelets, etc. They'll pretend to "tolerate" you as long as you understand that they're just waiting for you to stop being so stupid and start buying into the World According to Jon Stewart.

Be polite, avoid the subject of politics---but avoid THEM. It'll be hard to avoid laughing contemptuously, anyway, when they start whining about losing their health insurance. A good Christian shouldn't laugh at the misery of others, but I wouldn't be able to help myself.

Some years ago I was at a party and some nerdy young guy, college age kid announced rather seriously that he was a''follower of Marx'' ''Marx, huh? I said. He looked at me with sort of an expectant look as if this announcement of his had impressed me. I said, ''Which one, Karl or Groucho? Everyone around us laughed at that except the kid. That's another thing about Libs, they're basically humorless.
