A high school buddy I'd lost contact with for 40 plus years reacquainted ourselves.

He's now quite a well known artist and many times published writer.

Initially, when we got together politics was not discussed.

One evening while enjoying a few adult beverages at his house, I jubilantly criticised Obama and liberals in general. Because he was at one time in his life in law enforcement, I foolishly assumed him to be a conservative.

Eventually, we discussed politics and it turns out he and his wife are ardent liberals.

I spent the night as his guest. The next day he advised me he and his wife LOVE Obama and without coming right out and saying so, they're not just liberals, but are very left. Arrrgggh!

Now, we don't visit anymore.

Not because I'm not willing to continue our short lived, re-kindled friendship, but I think my conservative views were found to be unforgivable...
