My wife has (barely) managed to stay friends with one of these whack jobs. They were on a long walk a couple nights ago and my wife asked her how her week was. She replied “Great! I went to a ‘Resist’ protest this week and joined a group writing postcards to stop the Kavanaugh nomination.” Then she was off to the races breaking their agreement to never discuss politics. It’s getting close to the last straw for my wife and she is saddened that their almost two decade friendship may end over her friend’s insanity. It’s getting to be like pre Civil War day’s where you were forced to choose sides and families were torn apart.
What hath Obama wrought?
A male caller to WRKO Jeff Kuhner program said that the Judge Kavanaugh controversy broke up an eight year relationship with his girlfriend. He was really heartbroken but it is too bad that he didn’t find out about her much earlier. But on the other hand it was better than marrying, having a couple of kids and then going through a divorce. You know what—this is my Dear Abby moment...it is a good idea to discuss politics with your girl friend or boy friend because then you can find out some really important things about how he/she thinks. Discussing politics brings out people’s value system. I think people can cover up their deeply held beliefs by the kind of small talk that is socially acceptable. But when you get into politics you are really taking a look inside a person’s mind.
