Changes
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'Neill]] and Senator [[Ted Kennedy]]. These liberals were friends with Reagan although they knew he was a conservative. On the other hand, there have also been a few cases of [[liberals]] not requiring acceptance of [[liberal]] principles as a condition of friendship. For example, [[Tip O'Neill]] and Senator [[Ted Kennedy]] were both friends of [[Ronald Reagan]]. Reagan was friends with these liberals although he knew they were liberals.
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 luck. However, if you change by discounting and betraying your past conservative relationships / principles /friends, 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 publicly criticizing President Bush, the typical left leaning media sources, being they don't revere concepts like honor and loyalty and see disloyalty and backbiting as virtues, 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>
