How true. The hatred I see in my liberal friends is scary, and there’s no reasoning or debating any ploitical topic with them any more. I’ve tried to prove that the FISA act was enacted in Carter’s term, or that the Rendition program was started in Clinton’s term and I am just called names like a “Bushbot” and the like.

Even the language that the parties use against each other is identical.
Sounds like my lib friends. They’re insane. I just can’t talk sense into some of them and as a result have stopped talking with a couple.
I too have a liberal friend, she has been (has been) a good friend for over a decade. We would often be able to discuss issues of the day with reasonable discourse. I have sadly watched that ability devolve over the last 4 years to the point that I avoid her.
So deluded has she become that she called me on Thanksgiving eve to invite me to lunch on Thanksgiving Day! Confused, I explained I would be spending it with my family and thanking God for His blessings. I was told it wasn’t it religious holiday. I reminded her Washington established it as a day to Thank God. She didn’t know anything about that...! Ugh!
The brainwashing seems nearly complete, IMHO. There is no talking to her.
Scarier still when it's your own family.
Facts have no impact on them. A polite political discussion is simply impossible.
It is as if challenging their hatred of Bush and Republicans challenges their faith in liberalism. And that is like challenging a serious Christian's belief in God.
It's irrational.
