13. I do have Republican friends
but the difference for me is that they're thoughtful people who have been given a lot of bogus information and have arrived at the wrong conclusions. I'm pretty sure they think the same of me.

None of them would consider ranting radio garbage at me because I've been pretty clear about where the line is. I refrain from lecturing them.

The bottom line is that good people get to be wrong about things, a privilege I extend to myself, too.

It's just a pity there are so few good people left in that party. They're down to the absolute dregs now.
