Nicely written. I’d like to see him write a counter response for Conservatives.

Liberal arguments are almost always emotion based and not fact based.

great piece. I see most of those on almost a daily basis...but missed using a straw man argument...I see that just about the most frequently.

For example, recently I was debating some libs over a threatened local union strike (garbage collectors). The package they are being offered is said to be $110,000 per worker, but the union isn't happy with that. So the line of argument I've seen is that if you're against the union workers making more then you must be against hard working people earning a decent living and you must be a terrible, evil person in the pocket of big business.

Now I have no idea how you can start collecting those pay checks from big business to point out on a message board how economics works but I'd like to start collecting the dough.

Lib Tip # 1: Drop the Race Card:

Point out that Libs are almost always white and rich. Only then do you point out that their policies have condemned minorities to welfare state dependency.

Lib Tip # 2: Impugn the Source:

Deem the leftist a "Name-calling loudmouth. Can't make an argument so they fall to this..." Lib Tip # 3: Social Justice Trumps Logic:

"Social Justice" means they're in charge; they want to be king, with your money.

Lib Tip # 4: Exploit the Weakest Link:

Like this?

I no longer debate liberals, I tell them to take their lies and get out of my face.

Lib Tip # 9: Government is Good:

The logic of the welfare state mentality is capable all by itself of resulting on unlimited inflation. If it is believed that the government is a real-life Santa Claus, indeed, a benevolent deity, and that its inflation-financed deficits are the source of free benefits, then there is no logical stopping point to the size of the deficit, and the amount of the inflation used to finance them-given the fact that the government has the power to inflate.

I love when then drop the race card on me. I'm a white America loving, conservative “Hispanic”; and I just let them go off on their stupidity. When I see it proper, then I tell them that according to leftists, I cannot be racist. Their eyes will light up like a light house, and they become dumb for a few seconds. I love it!!!!

You forgot an extra point: outnumber them. When you have on one conservative have 5 liberals attacking them when on camera.

Counter-responses:

#1. ‘People who scream racism are fascists. You’re just trying to suppress dissent against your tyrannical, irrational beliefs.

#2. ‘Typical liberal, using the character assassination tactics of a sleazebag trial lawyer to win an argument. You obviously have no integrity or credibility so you get no more say in the debate.’

#3. ‘Sorry, violation of separation of church and state. If you want to argue morality go build a church.’ I don’t subscribe to your religion.’

#4. Always give two lefist examples or more for every one they give.

What conservatives have to remember is that all liberals think they are on the side of justice and that conservatives should not even have the right to question them about it. I remember watching W. F. Buckley debate libs back in the seventies. Many times the lib, Ted Sorensen, Gore Vidal i.e., would immediately react to close questioning by calling Buckley a fascist something or other. In short, libs don’t expect that anyone will ever scrutinize anything they do. They can’t stand it.
