It has made for some really bad times, and we have learned that we just do not discuss politics. And if there is a current event that comes up that has political bends to it, we all tiptoe around it. We actually can agree on some things, and we keep the conversation going in those directions and drop it when it is apparent that there will be a fight. But it took some huge fights with cold shoulders (and one sister who was visiting from across the country leaving early). It is not worth it.

On fb, I have one co-worker who is extreme, and all of her posts are teabagger or prays. I ignore everything she posts, but I do not unfriend her because I still have to work with her. (And don't think for a minute that I do not want to slam her for many of the stupid things she posts.) We do know that we abhor the other person's opinions on politics, and we know that neither of us will change our opinions based on any arguments--------I figure that I am as stubborn as she is about this, so can I really be a hypocrite to assume that she should change all her opinions.
