I live in Texas with many friends that are on the pretty far right. I tend to be pretty quiet about my liberal political leanings because many of them would be offended or even outright stop talking to me if they knew. Im new to the area about 3 years in to a move for a job, so I wish to not alienate these mostly very good guys that are my friends, even if we aren't on the same political pages. How can I use my undercover liberal position to try to help sway them gently to a less hateful stance, mostly on Muslims, but in general too. It is hard to hear them talk sometimes, many were in the military and have adopted a very militant anti Muslim stance after serving overseas in the Gulf war and other recent involvements.

Ok when you do north Dallas give me a shout. I'm on a small reservoir lake called Lavon. I'm happy to make a single serving friend. And also always happy to sail year round here, most of the time.
