I have the same situation with a life long friend for over 30 years. Everything is the 'greedy fat cats', 'can't earn a living wage", 'Bush's fault', 'corrupt republicans', and 'hypocrite christians'. I enable it by staying quiet. For this person, it is easier to blame those evil/greedy/un-compassionate conservative people like me then to look at the self, created, unholy mess in their own life.
and fortunate, indeed!
I remember thinking how strained relationships had started to become during the 2004 elections....it is sooooo much worse now.
You forgot “Haliburton”...
:)
LOL....I really think these two are naive - they are local biz owners (home building)....and one of them said I shouldn’t be “sarcastic” in my emails...LOL...I told them...I’ll be sarcastic if I want to, it’s my personality! In my last email I told them I’m trying to concentrate on the present...hopefully that will shut them up. Oh, and I also told them in an earlier email...”Keep paying those taxes.”
Oh, and they said those tea partiers were going after Obama for his birth certificate.....as if that’s their goal.
It means you don’t know any of the people you are helping to support. :)
There are people that want control over others, either through active participation in the Leviathan Government, or by being wards and beneficiaries of that government.
And there are those of us that don’t want to be controlled by others, nor have to foot the bill for those feeding from the trough our tax monies fill.
It is an irreconcilable difference.
We have one, maybe 2 more elections left in this country before it is too late to stop, and Pam and her handlers in the bloated fascist state win total control over all of us.
Or we go to war.
Everyone who ever lent Pam money is an enabler. As is the welfare system that has allowed her to leech off of society her whole life, despite having more college education than most of the population.
There should be a time limit on how long able bodied people can stay on welfare. They should also be required to do community works as a condition of receiving that welfare check (trash on the side of the road needs to be picked up!) And they should be required to pay an income tax on welfare benefits.
People who are physically or mentally incapacitated, of course, should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Many handicapped people are capable of working.
I thought I had liberal friends, then BO was elected and their masks slipped. They are the totalitarian party members next door; an existential threat to all I hold dear.
Now I am liberal “friend” free.
Never felt better.
“The ‘have nots’ and victims are consolidating their premier position at the public trough, forcing others to pay for their ever evolving version of social justice.”
*********************
I think we should no longer use the term ‘have nots’.
‘Work nots’ is far more accurate.
Your friend sounds like a truly detestable person. It sounds as though your friendship with her has already been compromised by her.
My advice is to leave her alone. She doesn’t sound as though she is worth the aggravation.
Like a lot of liberal beliefs, if they can't be conclusively proven untrue on the spot to a liberal, then they must be true.
I know this feeling between friends. I think whatever sustains the leftist`s life is, in someways, good. People need to believe in something. There is nothing Nancy can do but find common ground on another topic. Nancy is smart enough to know that Pam will not change her political stripes, that it is like talking about two different religions. So if there is something to value in Pam then value that and stay clear of politics.
Same here, mimaw.
I do not have any liberal friends. It is impossible to discuss anything with them as they have zero logic, ignore facts, have no common sense, base everything on feelings, and are suicidal.
The sooner conservatives realize that libs are as described above and immune to reason, the sooner we will get on with the job at hand.
I would be very interested in how you “take them on”.
My own experiences in that direction are decidedly a mixed bag. The “liberals/progressives” have this mental switch or shield that instantly takes logic and facts and erases them as soon as the words enter their ears. Extremely frustrating and nowadays I just don’t even bother. It’s better for my blood pressure.

"I think one man is just as good as another so long as he's not a n*gger or a Chinaman. Uncle Will says that the Lord made a White man from dust, a n*gger from mud, then He threw up what was left and it came down a Chinaman. He does hate Chinese and Japs. So do I.

"These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again." –Democrat President Lyndon B. Johnson
