Outside View: The value of friends
By Cheryl Felicia Rhoads

I am losing friends left and right, well, actually, only left. Some friendships, however, have been strengthened during this election.

When I was 6, I learned a song: "Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other's gold." Even as a child, I was a born raconteur, so I always had lots of friends. But, by the time I got to fourth grade, I was already getting into political brawls. Early on, I began living my politically active mother's joke, "My name, it opens some doors and closes others."

I learned to tone it down a bit by the time I got to college. As a theater major, it was fun in an acting class one day, when we each had to pretend to be another student. I chose to mimic a beautiful petite girl with long dark hair. She was my polar opposite, this former cheerleader-turned-hippie-princess named Michelle. She got a kick out of my impression of her. I thought it was cool that she could laugh at herself. We began a friendship that has brought us to the present day.

Yet we were always opposites. I am Roman Catholic, she is Jewish. I am tall, she is short. One rainy afternoon on campus, Michelle insisted on carrying the umbrella for both of us, (I don't think I stood up straight until the next day!)

Back then, she was as passionate a Democrat as I was a Republican. However, my friend and I still had something in common that was more important than all the differences. We shared the same values and they showed up in a dozen little ways. That is why we are friends almost 30 years later. Furthermore, she had been moving in my direction politically before, but Sept. 11, 2001, brought us to a new level of communication. We have bonded even more during this election.

Sadly, I also have re-evaluated some other friendships as tensions increased due to the Kerry-Edwards demagoguery. This is the first time in memory that I've even been appalled by both spouses of the Democratic ticket. I rather liked Tipper Gore and Hadassa Lieberman. I thought they were sweet. And that's the way I used to feel about my liberal pals. But, now a Teresa Heinz-Kerry-like irrationality/Elizabeth Edwards snotty innuendo has infected some of them -- and it makes them unpleasant to be around.

This election may leave those friendships in its wake. The outlook is definitely not good for their Christmas card inclusion.

Sept. 11, Iraq, the demonization of Israel by Kerry's European fans, the beheadings -- all of the latter just doesn't seem to change the '90s mentality of those I know who are voting for the Democratic Party ticket. Like Kerry, they still seem to consider the United States' life-and-death struggle a nuisance. These liberal friends of mine are certainly not bad people, but deep down, they still don't get that we are at war with a greater evil than any of us has ever known. Combined with the extremism culturally on the left, these people are becoming more than a nuisance themselves.

The sobering fact is that these friendships are just too taxing (in both senses of that word). Those relationships have become like old prom dresses in that they just don't fit anymore. There comes a point where some associations can become a fire hazard in one's closet. It may be time to do spring cleaning, even if the season is autumn.

Sure, friends can't agree on everything, nor are they supposed to but though I may think someone's a nice person, fun, etc., increasingly deep differences in our world view can't be ignored in these frightening times.

Three decades later, Michelle is no longer the shorter-than-me actress who insisted on carrying the umbrella as we walked to class, though she is still shorter than me. But she and I easily walk together under an umbrella of shared concerns. A few weeks ago we sat side by side at a most moving event celebrating Jewish and Christian support of Israel and each other.

Yet, we still live very different lives. My college friend has been married for 25 years to the love of her life, the mother of three and an executive in an entertainment corporation. And meanwhile her single free-lancing writer/actress friend, even after all these years still does impressions of her only in print now.

Happily, others have also come along to become comrades in arms this election. They represent a diversity in lifestyle that would warm any liberal's heart (although said liberal wouldn't warm our hearts). There's Genie the stockbroker, Cathy the casting director, Robin the mom of one of my former acting students, Sally the daughter of one of my mother's old friends and many others. Their e-mail messages and calls let me know that though other friendships may wither during this election, I'm hardly alone. They all have a point of view that enables us to skip to shorthand. ("Did you read Drudge?" "Yep!") All of these women make up my own personal non-elitist version of "The View, The Conservative Cut."

Yes, now those old children's lyrics resonate with a new meaning in "Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold." Regretfully, without shared values even after this tumultuous election of 2004, some friendships may have turned to a tin that rings hollow in these perilous times.

By the way, I recently chatted with one of those former Brownies who sang with me so long ago, She is a "security mom." She is voting for George W. Bush and she will definitely be included on my Christmas card list.

在视野的外面: 朋友的价值
藉着谢丽尔 Felicia Rhoads

我正在损失朋友左边和右边,很好地,实际上,唯一的左边。 一些友谊,然而,已经在这选举期间被加强。

当我是 6 的时候,我学习了一首歌: " 交新的朋友, 但是保存老年人, 一是银和另一个金色的." 正当一个孩子,我是一个天生的善谈者，因此，我总是有了许多朋友。 但是,当我到达第四个等级的时候,我已经正在进入政治上的争吵。 稍早，我开始住我的政治上地活跃的母亲笑话,"我的名字,它打开一些门和结束其它"。

当我到达学院的时候 , 我学习调和它下一点点。 身为一个戏院主修科目，它在演戏班级一天中是乐趣,当我们每一个在那时候必须假装当另外的一位学生的时候。 我对模仿的一个美丽的娇小女孩以长的黑暗头发选择。 她是我的两极相对事物, 这先前拉拉队长转的-被命名蜜雪儿的嬉皮- 公主。 她把踢赶出我的她印象。 我它很凉爽她可以笑她自己。 我们开始了友谊以已经带我们去今日。

然而我们总是相对事物。 我是罗马天主教,她是犹太人的。 我是高的,她很短。 一下雨的下午在校园内，蜜雪儿坚持为我们两个搬运伞,( 我不我站立在笔直地直到隔天上面!)

然后回,当我是共和党员的时候 , 她同样地是热情的 Democrat 。 然而, 我的朋友和我有点仍然有相同处那比所有的不同更重要。 我们分享了相同的价值，而且他们以十二个小方式出现。 那是我们为什么几乎 30 年之后是朋友。 此外，她以前政治上地曾经被搬进我的方向过, 但是 2001 年九月 11 日,带我们去新程度的沟通。 我们在这选举期间有以债券作保证的平坦更多。

悲伤地，我也已经再评估一些其他的友谊如紧张由于黑色的小乳牛- 爱德华群众煽动增加。 这是我已经更甚至被民主的票两配偶胆寒的记忆第一次。 我宁可喜欢 Tipper 高尔和 Hadassa Lieberman 。 我他们是甜的。 而且是我过去一直觉得我的自由主义的朋友方式。 但是, 现在一个圣泰瑞莎 Heinz- 像黑色的小乳牛一样的不合理/ 伊莉莎白爱德华 snotty 讽刺已经传染他们其中的一些 -- 而且它使他们不愉快在附近。

这选举可能留下那些友谊在它的叫醒。 景色为他们的圣诞卡包含明确地不善行。

九月 11 日,伊拉克,黑色的小乳牛的欧洲狂热者的以色列的 demonization, beheadings-- 全部愈比较后者就是不改变那 '90 年代精神力那些我谁正在投给民主的宴会票。 像黑色的小乳牛，他们仍然考虑美国的生死攸关的竞争一个讨厌的东西。这些我的自由主义的朋友是当然不是坏人,但是深入地下，他们仍然不拿我们在和更棒的邪恶战争，比较我们之中的任何一个曾经已经知道。 在左边者身上文化上地由于极端主义联合,这些人正在成为超过一个讨厌的东西他们自己。

那个使沈着事实是这些友谊仅仅正在也课以税。 (在那一个字的两个感觉中) 那些关系变成那里的相似旧毕业舞会洋装他们就是不再适合。 那里来一个壁橱的一些协会能变成火危险的点。 它可能是该做春天清洁的时候,即使季节是秋天。

当然，朋友不能决定每件事物, 他们也不是被推想到但是虽然我可能某人的一个美好的人，乐趣,及其他。,我们的世界视野的逐渐地深的不同在这些个惊吓时代中不能被忽略。

三十年之后，蜜雪儿愈短是不再-比较- 我坚持搬运伞的女演员当我们走路分类,虽然她仍然比我更短。 但是她和我在分享的关心一支伞之下容易地一起走路。 几个数个星期以前我们最多并排坐移动事件庆祝以色列和彼此的犹太人的和基督的支持。

然而, 我们仍然活非常不同的生命。 我的学院朋友对娱乐公司的她生活，三的母亲和一个主管的爱已经是已婚的达 25 年之久。而且同时她的单一自由契约的作家/女演员朋友,整这些数年甚至之后现在仍然只在版中做她的印象。

快乐地，其它也已经进展成为双臂这选举的同志。 他们表现生活方式的一种各式个样以会使任何的自由主义者的心温暖。 ( 虽然说自由主义者不使我们的心温暖) 有妖怪股票经纪人 , 凯茜投掷指导者 , 罗宾我的前任代理的学生之一的妈妈 , 莎莉我的其中之一的女儿母亲老朋友和多数其它。 他们的电子邮件信息和呼叫让我虽然其他的友谊在这选举期间可能凋谢,我刚刚孤独。 他们全部有观点准许我们跳越到速记。 ("你读了做苦工的人吗?" "Yep"!) 所有的这些女人捏造我的自己非优秀人材的版本 "视野，保守的切."

是的，现在那些老孩子的抒情诗由于新的意义共呜在 "交新的朋友, 但是保存老年人,一是银，而且另一个是金色的"。 惋惜地,没有甚至在吵闹的选举之后的分享价值 2004,一些友谊可能已经转向在这些危险的时代内响洞的锡。

她正在投给乔治 W. 布什，而且她明确地决意在我的圣诞卡目录上被包括在内。
