Good to keep in mind here at the R3volution.
Not only friends but probably have of my family as well.

I miss all the Daily Paul Family
remember during the campaign when there were like 2000 people on here and the site kept crashing and stuff. Oh, what wonderful days they were, all the interesting things and opinions I learned and read. There was conflict but I don't remember it much now, I guess I remember all the great ideas and positive effort everyone expressed. I know things are not going very well but I am honored to be here with interesting and questioning individuals. No matter what happens my white tin foil hat stays on my head because my hair is falling out from all the gunk they put in food. Blessed are the Peace Makers or is that Piece Makers (Quilters) LOL Good Luck Patriots

Friends and family...

Damn, Jefferson was good wasn't he? Isn't he?

Jefferson was a great man of letters.
He spent many of his days consumed in writing letters to friends and allies, which is, I like to think, similar to what we do on the Internet today.

That is so true
My friends don't think exactly the way I do, but I still love them for the reasons we became friends in the first place. I may have been slightly annoyed with my Obama/McCain voting friends at first, like maybe they just hadn't been listening to me, but I just couldn't stay upset.
So, we don't all see eye to eye politically, and that's that. Mutual tolerance. Some are slowly evolving around to my way of thinking, and that makes me smile. So I argue with them by being factual in a playful and teasing and loving way. You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
And also, I don't know one person who looks at things spiritually in the exact same way I do. No problem there. My friends are all loving people, and all of those same friends would give me the shirts off their backs. (Some of them just don't know squat about politics though. lol And I'm sure the feeling is mutual. lol)
Wow, I have to admit
I have withdrawn from my friends. Thanks, for this very insightful message. I think it is needed today and tomorrow and the next. Peace

I find that many of my "friends" have withdrawn from me and
I find myself not doing much to win their appoval (hard core dems & Repubs). Interestingly, my true friends rise to the top (even when they disagree with me!) My real friends disagree with me for valid personal reasons, not just because Obama or Bush says so. Statist are everywhere - even in the freest sqare mile I have ever been it.

Let's patch up the divisions.

Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.
You inspired me to dig that one up.
With your thread earlier, where you were so disillusioned and were contemplating leaving.
