I’ve been living by this for years. Unfortunately, word has gotten out and nobody will be my friend anymore. How I long for the joyous feeling of not posting bail for a friend in need.

Maybe That One will make you his new Israeli Relations Czar.

Or the ambassador to Poland or the Czech Republic (“We promised you missile defense? I don’t remember that?)

If you are a liberal, you don’t have any “friends” comrade! You have only the party! All who would subvert or disagree with the aims of the democRATic party are to be shunned! Of course, it’s ok to lie and pretend that others are your friends to get what you want! A slap on the back and a hearty hand shake will fool most Americans and allow one to proceed with an evildoers agenda with very little trouble…

That’s why none of my real friends are liberals.

Wasn’t there an old saying about new friends and old;
one is silver and the other is gold?
(Mmm, mmm, mmm.)

If you lend a friend twenty dollars and then never see them again, consider it twenty bucks well spent.

Frank, you must take the initiative. Do not allow your Ronin to abandon and humiliate you in the eyes of the Great Blog Council Fire. Ban your Ronin at random before they can conspire against you.

What if they’re your bff? Seems like in a situation like that, you’re contractually obligated during times of both thickness and thinness.

The trick is to make friends that will stick with YOU through thick and thin, that you don’t mind abandoning in THEIR time of need.
At least, that’s what O-bah-muhh would do.

I really hope you didn’t get this from some new federal junior high school economics/philosophy curriculum. Do you suppose there will be an accompanying sing-along? “These are the wheels on the bus! You’re seeing them from the underside! Mmm mmmm mmm.”

new friends = new pockets to borrow from?

The latter is the democrat way…unless, of course, sticking with them helps the democrat party stay in power, in which case you stick with them until they’re no longer politically useful, then abandon them.
