Sincere question: How are we to deal with our Republican friends?

14. I know people who are both Republicans and Christian fundamentalists.

They have gone through a tough few years--just lost their house, actually. They are now very conspiracy-minded, so we share that in common. I find it amusing that now they are anti-war (when Obama's in office) but that is human nature, I guess.

I have to say that I find (in general) that conservatives tend to be more tolerant of liberals than the other way around. That is unfortunate. Why do you see it as "dealing" with them. Just accept them (unless you have too many differences of opinion--then it's more a question of why they are your friends in the first place).
