Why Do You Hang Around Here?

It doesn't work that way, though. I know their beliefs, and the conclusion that those beliefs lead to. I have no problem with that! Seriously!

For instance, thoughts and conclusions come to my mind when I think about certain people. They would/could be shocked if I vocalized some of these opinions. They probably wonder in their mind if I heard the rumors about them, and what my opinion is! I will never bring these issues up because it could stir things up and end our friendship.

I value the friendship enough to "overlook" our differences.

That says a lot doesn't it.
I have many friends, some more liberal, some more conservative, & most around the moderate end of the scale.
I respect them & they respect me even though we differ on things.

My friendship doesn't compromise what I believe.
