While this article is well written, the real problem is getting to to that first step. Politics is my business, but I leave it out of my personal life and do not bring it up on dates. However, so many people find out a person’s views and then turn hostile.

This is “ideological bigotry,” and is just as pernicious as racial or ethnic bigotry. The world would be better off if more people who were passionate about their politics and religion would be respectful of others and not jump to conclusions.

Jimbo – You are right that it isn’t easy to make a cross-political relationship work. A common belief system is something that bonds couples more than shared hobbies and interests. I’m not sure what geographic area you are in but you might want to try searching in a location where there is a high concentration of conservatives if that is something that is important to you. The beauty of online dating is that you can find your ideal match anywhere in the world!

being conservative….I just have nothing in common with liberal women. Unfortunatly, most jewish women are liberal which forces me to date women outside the tribe too……..ex. a conservative questions why a murderer did what he did……..a liberal questions what society did to make him do what he did
