my conservative friends are freaking out

[MattNC]

it's so great!

1. That is always a good thing.

[tridim]

2. I wish I had some conservative friends who are freaking out.

But I don't have any Conservative friends.

One of the bonuses of living in a progressive city I guess.

3. comes with the territory

living in the rural South.

[get the red out]

4. same here (Ky)

My cousin was enraged on Facebook this morning, quoting Mike Levin and whole insane strings of RW garbage at the announcement.

5. I asked them

if they knew the award was being given out today, and if they could name any past winners. a few actually fessed up that they didn't.

[get the red out]

8. I'm shocked!

:rofl:

To read what my cousin and his friends were writing would lead one to believe it's time to find a hiding place because the world is just about to end.

7. yeppers. I have my small clique of progressives

but if I were to avoid all Repubs I would have very few friends. I even know a couple of straight-up fundies I'm on pleasant terms with. We don't hang out or anything (unless maybe a chance meeting and a cup of coffee.)I just don't talk politics or religion with them.

6. Lol, same here. I love it!

Even though I secretly disagree with him getting it (due to his war policies).

9. I have conservative co-workers, acquaintances, and even family...

but, I do not have any conservative friends.

[MattNC]

11. yeah it's not easy sometimes n/t

[onethatcares]

10. you have "conservative" friends???

are you sure?

[MattNC]

12. lol yes

we usually do a good job of not bringing up politics, then there are days like today when they can't help themselves.
