Q: I'm a republican, and every single one of my friends are democrats. If they insult the president (Even though they know that I'm republican) then it's okay, but if I say any republican views they all look at me like I'm a bad person. What should I do? I'm not the kind of person to just sit back in any type of debate but I can't help but feel like my opinion doesn't matter just because it's not a democratic one.

I'll be frank with you: having right-wing ideals doesn't sit well with some people because they have the wrong idea about it. This is no excuse for your friends behaviour - I'm just saying they probably associate you being a republican with the stereotype. It's a shame they can't be more open-minded and more respecting of your opinions as you seem to be of theirs. Debating is healthy, but they obviously can't seem to do it maturely. Perhaps discussing politics with them is not a good idea.
A lot of people these days are against Bush just because they think it's cool to bash him. Many teenagers hate him, yet can't give a reason why. Few teenagers can really say they have an understanding of politics and how it all works. =/ If you want to be devious, you could challenge their point of view and see what their reasoning is.
