I like this guy's premise. Though, I haven't abandoned any friendships because of their devotion to the Obamessiah.
Whack Your Friends, Tony Would
by Mr. Wrestling IV
I turned into Tony Soprano last year. I got so disgusted with a couple of my friends that I whacked them. Not literally, of course; they’re not sleeping with the fishes or anything. But in terms of being a daily part of my life, they’re gone.
Whacked.
I whacked a friend with whom I had worked a number of years ago, and who I enjoyed and respected as an actress. I said (during a recent email exchange in which she evangelized for my conversion to the Obama religion), that I could not vote for Obama because his background, his associations with Wright and Ayers, and his public pronouncements led me to believe that he adhered to a Marxist philosophy, which was explicitly revealed in his “Spread the wealth around†comments to Joe the Plumber. As a free-market conservative, I told her, I believe that government-enforced redistribution of wealth is anathema to the American way of life.
In one of the most baffling non sequiturs I have ever experienced, she immediately accused me of engaging in “hate speech,†and informed me that she could no longer be friends with me.
Now this same person had, in 2004, the morning after George W. Bush was reelected, loudly proclaimed at our table read that she had hung her head out the window on the way to work while President Bush’s acceptance speech played on her car radio and screamed, “WILL SOMEONE PLEASE ASSASSINATE THIS MAN?†Through clenched teeth, I noted that many people agreed with her, and most of those people were known, outside of Hollywood, as “terrorists.†While I found myself unable to speak to her again for a week after her contemptible outburst, I did have to continue working with her for the foreseeable future, and I did find a way to forgive (but not forget), and remain cordial and professional with her.

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.
