Brilliant. I really am glad I asked for feedback. Sometimes you want to knock someone upside the head, but the best tactic is to make them consider what they are advocating. And if others happen to read then maybe they can see sense too.

I don’t mean to speak for MrB, but I believe the specific fool-in-folly he was referring to was my hypothetical liberal victim, not to you.

[Winstons Julia]

Oh, I’m sure that’s what he was referring to ... it’s just that we’ve all been fools about one thing or another at some time.

We are in the age of enclavism where many people seem to think that they only want to read things from their preferred sources. Some people prefer to engage in dialogue and reading at right-wing sites. Some people prefer to do it at left-wing sites.

I even read a thread here where people were telling someone they should defriend a Facebook friend because someone ELSE was being politically argumentative in the friend’s comments.

There’s a time and a place for everything and I can’t blame people for throwing up their hands and thinking it’s futile, but there’s also a new generation out there who might be hungry for alternatives to mainstream leftist thinking. I enjoy nothing better than reading testimonials from liberals who woke up and realized the totalitarianism inherent in progressive thought. There was a person, someplace, that got through to them.

A debate that isn’t had can never be won.

Looks like that trickle up poverty is starting to work.

I see by your handle
That you are curious
I see by your posting
That you are perplexed.

This is not rocket surgery! All ya gotta do is remember
the mantra of The Liberal Intelligensia Elite (commonly
Known as the L.I.E.):

We Liberals (sigh) are driven to help people.
We Liberals believe that rich people do not need help.
We Liberals (sigh) believe that that poor people do need help (sigh).
So the sooner we Liberals can make the righ people poor,
THE SOONER WE CAN HELP THEM! (Loud cheers!)

I think the very high echelons of both governments would qualify as millionaires

[Graewoulf]

Yep. 28% of the US House and sli. less than 50% of the Senate have reached the American dream of being millionaires. But I digress, money means nothing to these fine public servants.

[MrB]

If fools are never answered, how can they realize they are fools?

That is exactly the right question to ask, Julia.
The scripture I refer to is Proverbs 26:4 & 5.

4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
or you will be like him yourself.

5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
or he will be wise in his own eyes.

Verse 4 says to not argue with the fool based on their false premise. Verse 5 says to expose their false premise to them so that they realize they are fools.

That's what I was getting at. We must point out to the fools that what they are arguing really isn't the point, but is simply a cover issue for what they really want.

With most libs, what that "really want" consists of is feeling good about themselves for being caring, without having to make any actual personal sacrifice to implement that "caring".
