They are almost all Aholes regarding politics and culture. I have exactly one liberal friend who is a really nice guy.
Alcohol, the cause of, and solution to, all of lifes problems.
I would file a police report, there is a witness.
Great story. I have been observing and making this point for years. If you want to know what the Left is actually doing or covering up, just listen to what they rail against the Right about. It will be there in black and white...clear as day.
“he came toward me, jumped on top of me with his hands around my throat”
Why didn’t you have him arrested?
Please tell me you called the police and pressed assault charges against him. If not, why did you not do so?

I almost had a similar experience af a memorial yesterday
I reminded him it would end horribly for him
Then ike tedd a bit humor
Stupid.
It’s not like Washington runs your daily life...
Very interesting. Your experience is sort of the Nation in a bottle.
Yikes...with “friends” like that...
What happened to you is a great example of why I don't have any liberal friends. At all. None.
I chose to start eliminating them from my social circle and life about 20 years ago.
Life has never been more peaceful and pleasant than it has been with no liberals to deal with.
Liberals ruin and destroy everything they touch. Good riddance.

I am not sure you should have not filed charges for Assault & Battery. Your friend became totally unhinged without cause.
I bet what happened is as the conversation, “Argument”, went forth your friend could not support or defend his positions and that is why he came unglued.
Now you amplify this Hysteria and Violence by a 1000 fold by 2020 and this is where things will be. People are going to get killed.
Sorry your friends remain unenlightened.
But that is a funny illustration of how they function.
We don't think we're prefect, but the accusations come out of left field for us.
It's because, if you are a thief, and you lose something or lose at something, your first inclination is to accuse others of stealing it.
When you paint the world negatively, you will pick the colors you know. When you paint it positively, same thing.
So every liberal attack, especially the ones that seem like they come out of left field, are liberals painting negatively. But the colors they use tell us everything we need to know about them. If you look past the negativity of the painting, and instead just focus on the colors used in the painting ... they are telling you all about themselves and their inner worlds.
Since the media, universities and teacher's unions are all very close to 90% liberal, they are naked. Everything they accuse you of, so long as you don't get distracted defending yourself, tells you all about them.
Best to not argue, but say 'is that so?' and encourage them to keep criticizing you as if you are listening. Without knowing it, they will tell you all about their inner and outer life.
Also, they are herd animals, so unlike conservatives who are pretty much individuals and just want to be left alone, they haven't arrived at most of their conclusions on their own. It's more like they are paper towels ... their color depends on what they just mopped up. So partially they are telling you about themselves, but partially they are telling you about the collective entity. It's hard for us to understand because we might as well be a different species.
If you look at nature, even within species, certain roles are delegated genetically to some and not others. The lefties got the gene where their unit of identification is the group. The group is the "I". That's the fundamental difference.
They are like one big dead zombie made out of millions of people. Very sad, not really alive.
None of my liberal acquaintances would do that to me - they value their lives...such as they are.
Their false assumptions about the nature of universe are running into reality.
This produces rage.
Had a similar incident in a bar a while back with a liberal I had to travel with — he was losing.
I think the trigger was when I embarrassed him by turning to the young woman by herself a couple of bar stools down from us and put her in a hypothetical situation of being stalked and threatened by an ex-boyfriend — wold she be happy to wait several days for approval from the government to buy a gun for her own protection? Or would that put her at great risk? The answer was obvious.
He got really p.o.’d and left in a big hissy fit, making a scene in the bar.
I paid his bar tab, and he apologized the next day, saying he talked it over with his wife.
They usually are too emotional to have a reasonable fact-based argument.
