I don't let somebody's political or social beliefs or even mental state determine whether they are my friend.  If I refused to associate with anybody with racist views I would have to disown at least half of my cousins.

Harry Truman was asked by a reporter why he attended the funeral of Kansas City political boss and ex-con Jim Pendergast.  Truman's reply...''Because Jim Pendergast was a friend of mine.''

I do, however, draw the line at befriending people who hate other people simply bacause they hold differing political opinions, so you are not on my Christmas card list Lifer.
