:I too manage to alienate everyone, for different reasons but similar causes. I know enough about the military to make liberals think I'm pro-war, but because I'm not and think the administration is frankly fucking up how the world sees us, I REALLY alienate conservatives. (Also, and I find this amusing, I put off a surprising amount of liberals because I believe a bunch of guys from Saudi Arabia executed a plan conceived and funded by Al-Queda rather than a false flag operation by the Bush administration. Aside from all the obvious stuff such people refuse to acknowledge is the fact that the Bush administration hasn't really gotten anything right...giving them credit for such a bizarre and difficult conspiracy makes no sense to me which doesn't exactly impress conservatives.) Oddly, I prefer being alienated.
