Case in point: I emailed a (very liberal) friend of mine the document Newt Gingrich put together on AmericanSolutions.com because I agree with almost all of his “solutions”.

He emailed back saying that Mr. Gingrich is proof that even an idiot can have a place in America.

I responded, wanting to have an intelligent conversation about our political differences, asking him to explain which part/parts he disagreed with, why, and what his positions were.

That was a week ago and I have yet to receive any response. And no responses to my non political “how ya doin’, how’s your girlfriend” emails or my calls just to keep in touch. Perhaps we’re not friends anymore…
