In my life I have come to know many, many people with whom I agree 
politically 100%, but who are the world's
biggest assholes. I have also known people like your greek immigrant 
friend with whom I disagree politically and
who I would trust and rely upon absolutely.

A lot of political and philosophical positions are nothing more than 
self-righteous posturing; they are
actually no guarantee of any kind of basic human decency or even of the 
possiblity of basic human
relations.
