\u2026 seems I lost a friend. They were offended by some things I said on facebook letting my conservative colors fly. Despite the fact we\u2019ve know each other since childhood and have so many things in common it would appear this one difference is irreconcilable. I am no longer worthy of their friendship. <\/p>\n

Turns out I am not a fan of being stereotyped. How about that! <\/p>\n

A recently developed friendship with another individual breaks all my<\/em> preconceived stereotypes about the other<\/em> side; the dark side. I worried such a fundamental difference would prevent us getting along. Come to find there is more to this person than a political affiliation, just as I am not defined solely on mine. Seeing eye to eye on other issues and having common interests results in us looking past that one dividing denominator. I am glad I didn\u2019t dismiss this person, as my old friend recently dismissed me. <\/p>\n

How about that\u2026 me, friends with a liberal. I guess that means I need to check my \u201ctrad\u201d credentials at the door. I still draw the line at hippies.<\/p>\n

\u2026 things were so much simpler when they were black and white. <\/p>\n

*Don\u2019t worry, Thom<\/a>. You\u2019re still my favorite heathen.<\/p>\n
