Several. They are also either Born Again Christians or give lip-service to Christianity (e.g. they are homophobic, pro-life, pro-church and state, yet they are also fully behind the military, the death sentence, cutting social programs and have no problem sleeping around and judging others). Yes, we tear each other to shreds over politics and religion, but somehow, we still manage to stay friends. I've known them for years. I abhor their politics and religious beliefs and I'm sure they do mine, but they will also give you the shirt off their backs and offer to bring chicken soup to you if you're sick. They e-mail me right-wing political/religious things and I'm right back at them with counter stories and e-mails.
They sadden me. :( They're intelligent, college educated men, yet cannot or will not make logical connections or educate themselves if the conclusions they will reach are beyond their comfort levels. I gave my favorite Carl Sagan book to one during a long operative convalescent period. He was honest enough to admit it was interesting and well written but he just stopped reading because he grew 'uncomfortable' with Sagan's atheistic leanings.
He didn't even want to read what the man had to say. What does that say about this man's ability to look at or listen to others' opinions objectively on any subject before making a decision? :(

I have a few conservative friends. We tend to NOT talk much about politics. In other words, I'm not friendly with them because of their politics. Front-Ranger, how??? Well I do know a married couple and they do an awful amount of quarreling over politics. I guess they like to argue.
