Reply #11: The only thing my "friend" sent me was Tony Blair's essay on Iraq.

He still insists that Clinton was offered Bin Laden three times.
He's afraid of gay marriage "let them have the same rights, but preserve the sanctity of marriage for heterosexuals." (In other words, don't call it "gay marriage". I still don't understand his logic.)
He thinks that all the tax breaks he got from *'s reckless tax cuts are a good thing but the levy against his property tax (to make up the slack the federal government cut back on) is just "stupid tax and spend liberals".
He thinks that 9/11 is all Clinton's fault.
He just told me a month ago he became a "born-again christain". (Yet he still loves porn and talks about it whenever the subject comes up)

Every time we're together since I moved out of his house, he's tried to get my goat. I don't debate well with idiots who use falsehoods as "facts" (even when they know what they're saying is utter crap), I get angry. When I came up to move everything out of his house, he told my friend who was helping us that he loves, absolutely loves to say something he knows that will make me pissed off at him.

So, no. Shrub hasn't damaged my friendship. He's destroyed it.
And I feel fine about it. I've known this person for nearly 13 years, and as the years progress and the reich-wing drives that wedge deeper into this country, he's gone farther and farther off the deep end.

Any "friend" who deliberately pisses you off just to see you mad is no friend at all.
