Changes
reference for: they may wish you die
In contrast, there are many instances of [[conservatives]] not requiring acceptance of [[conservative]] principles as a condition of friendship. For example, [[Ronald Reagan]] had many close personal friends who were liberals, and dozens of political ones, like Speaker [[Tip O'Neil]] and Senator [[Ted Kennedy]].
Besides the loss of a friendship if you display disapproval of the liberal [[belief]] system, if a liberal knows you are a well known [[conservative]], they may wish you bad luckdie. <ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,289948,00.html , Fox News partial transcript from "The O'Reilly Factor, July 18, 2007</ref> However, if you change by discounting your past conservative relationships / principles, they would embrace and reward you with '''liberal friendship'''. e.g. Press Secretary Scott McClellan of the Bush administration was hated by liberals just for working in the administration. After leaving his position and writing a book publically criticizing President Bush, the typical left leaning media sources actually defended him.<ref>http://www.salon.com/politics/war_room/2008/05/29/mcclellan_publisher/ , Salon.com In Defese Of Scott McClellan, May 29, 2008</ref>
