Not really since my dog and I agree on most things ;-)
You can’t rationalize anything with irrational people, as you no doubt found out first hand.
Your weekend plans sound pretty awful, Paradox. I can’t understand how people can “not talk politics” at family gatherings.
Everything leads back to it: the economy, housing market, world affairs, the economy, price of gas.
And to have to about their crazy beliefs? I say STAY AWAY from them, at least until after the election. And if Obama should happen to win, don’t ever talk to them again cuz it’ll be due to drones like them that our country goes up in flames.
and to have to “keep quiet” about their crazy beliefs?
I am also an ex-Dem, from my youth. But I was more of a Scoop Jackson/Sam Nunn Dem (pro defense, considered the Soviets to be almost the Antichrist). At about the time of the McGovern campaign, I noticed a sickening leftward, almost anti-American move (cutting the US down to size - now who else has that worldview, hmmm?). As Ronaldus Magnus said, “I did not leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me”.
That be true, at least as long as you feed him.
Y’all are missing something important. Jon Stewart. They not only get all their new from a fake news show, they get their mannerisms and filthy mouths from him and think that he makes them cool. Get them talking about Comedy Central, and then come back and tell me about it.
Why would you want to find middle ground with leftists?
I like that story! Thanks for sharing:)
You can talk to them if they start whining when Obummer's policies start having a negative effect on them. Be sure to rub it in and tell them they have only themselves to blame.
You can be infinitely open minded about any bizarre concept, but it creates a fog through which you can no longer see the truth.

Great posting, and that includes your entire last paragraph!
And haven’t you noticed that conservatives are men of respect; ones that have a faith in God, go to work everyday and give it their best, usually hold positions of high accountability and responsibility, and believe in our nation’s founding principles?
I have yet to meet a soldier, policeman, or fireman that is liberal or does not believe in God. It’s reflected in their words and actions and they are real men; men of respect that will stand up to the encroaching evil in this country. Not the limp wristed gutless pansies that will turn and run at the first confrontation. We have to remember to uproot the evil that is Barack Hussein Obama this November.
I wonder if they know or care that the reason the Left is blaming the video is that they need to curb Free Speech in order to take full control of the People. Every time they blame a movie/cartoon/phrase for someone else's mindless violence, I cringe because I know the only reaso to do so is to "establish" that the "abuse" of Free Speech is so serious that they "need" to do something to whittle away at it.
The best place to fight those people is with faceless handles on youtube comments. That’s the place to hit them right between the eyes. It’s the closest I’ve found to a level playing field.
Liberals lie. Liberals have no values. Liberals have anti-values. Liberals don’t believe in war OR self defense. Liberals are a minority of the population, %wise ...
Conservatism will prevail.
Just typing “liberal” makes me feel dirty.
I have a similar large family but at least my cousins and a couple of siblings are conservative. I can't even do one-on-one with my liberal siblings. I left a treasured book for my sister to read, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's "A Warning To The West" and she said she flipped through it but decided that it is irrelevant since "it was written in the 1970s". I replied to her that a book she had loaned me was written about something in the 1960s but it didn't make it irrelevant. Liberals do not want to know the truth.
Yep. Liberals have become so open-minded that their brains have fallen out.
I’ve been giving liberals wet willy s since Windows 95 on the newsgroups. I’ve learned a lot over the years. The best way to stay sane in the endeavor is not read their replies and don’t reply to replies. I still do it on facebook every night. I am relentless. I do it over and over without regard for what is said about me. Every night. Over and over. I’ve been called every name in the book. One thing I’ve learned is ignoring a liberal gets them really pissed. I get a lot of material from FR plus I follow about 80 people on twitter. I get a lot of material from @iowahawkblog.
I post on IMDB forums which are 95% liberal
Libs cannot speak with substance....they simply spout emotion or platitudes or canards and then hurl some invective about bigotry and move on
They will not confront empirical proof they are uninformed
Or they will nitpick grammar....or spelling....and call you hick blissfully unaware of their own prejudice
Liberals are miserable and they blame the very world they wish to fix it
