 The older I get, the less tolerant I am with GOP friends/relatives....
I used to be able to tolerate them. The GOP seemed less nutty and less radical 15 years ago.

Now they all seem like they are totally insane. No logic. No facts.

I hate to try to sound smarter than any of my GOP friends but I honestly cannot get ONE of them to justify their stances on any issue. They cannot defend their policy's. They cannot tell me why they hate what Obama has done. And any facts they provide are easily countered without a return argument from them.

I have less and less patience and respect for them.

Makes it hard to remain friends with people I have no intellectual respect for.

Maybe I am just getting old and grumpy!

16. Easter with my Tea Bagger cousin was hell.

First, we were talking about the weather. Simple, right? Not really. After I said we'd been spoiled last month with the 80 degree daytime highs, he jumps in saying it's been too cold this past week. And they had a record snow storm in Anchorage AK. "Global warming, my ass!" 

Later, he was talking about the shit he's had to deal with from his health insurance company. A little background: This guy is in his mid-50s. He's never spent more that 5 yrs at any job he's ever had, and the jobs he's had have been barely enough to keep him in the middle-class. He's got no savings, no job currently, and he's also had various health problems his entire life. He only has any kind of health insurance at all through the kindness of his ex-wife and her employer allowing him to piggy-back onto her policy through her work.

Over the last year, he got some kind of weird auto-immune disease that kept him in the hospital for 8 months. He only got out in October. Since then, he's been out of work and the doctors have been putting him through a bunch of tests still trying figure out what happened. In February, he got a letter from the insurance co telling him that he and his 20-yr-old son had both been dropped retroactive to last June and that he owed them $200k. He called his lawyer (also paid by the ex-wife) and, after several anxious weeks, got everything straightened out.

But here's the thing: HE'S TOTALLY CLUELESS AS TO WHY THAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED & WHO'S RESPONSIBLE.

He still thinks Obamacare is an "unconstitutional intrusion on my civil rights" and will put his trust in the soulless corporation who'd just as soon see him dead & bankrupt over a govt agency created specifically to help people just like him. He can't fathom the idea that, if his wish to repeal Obamacare came true and if he lost his insurance HE WOULD HAVE BEEN TOTALLY SCREWED!! And his kid too!!

I had to bite my tongue to keep from pointing out what a ****ING IDIOT he was being, out of respect for my aunt. She's a Tea Bagger, too. But at least she tries to enforce the "no politics" rule at family gatherings.

The older I get, the less tolerant I am with GOP friends/relatives = my tolerance to the anti-psychotic drugs is kicking in.

The older I get, the less tolerant I am with liberals. 

First, they used to just amuse me.

Then, they began to annoy me.

Now, they just piss me the hell off!!!

You mean high unemployment, high gas prices, high food prices, high misery index, and high debt isn't a satisfying enough argument for you?

Dear Logical,

If you're intolerant of your friends you aren't their friend.  If you value their friendship you can easily divert a political conversation or make a pact not to discuss politics since it upsets you so.  If you can't do that for the sake of friendship you're not much of a friend.  Same goes for family.

BTW, despite being a genius in your own mind you couldn't even figure out a simple method to save yourself and others you claim to be friends with a lot of grief.  All liberals feel themselves intellectually superior to just about everyone, yet your relationship skills are always severely lacking.

I can put up with teenagers and 20 somethings being enthusiastic about the liberal agenda.  That said, for a 50 year old that has had to work and pay taxes for years (hopefully) to be still liberal is beyond me.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.
