A: Take away Daddy's money.
Time and patience, time and patience. Look where we were in the mid '70's and look where we are now. Over those years everything the Republicans tried worked and everything the Dims tried didn't. The dims found out that you can't polish a turd and the Republicans found out that getting the truth out is the best way to sway voters.
Ever see the movie Night of the Living Dead.
Be relentlessly good-natured. And know your facts, so that when they actually start listening to you, you can make some headway.
I post selections from pookie18's daily toons FR thread outside my cubicle. Only nice ones -- nothing that's rudely insulting to principles that leftists hold dear. And lots that are equally funny no matter what one's political proclivities. All the lefties come by and enjoy the laughs (along with the free cookies and candy I keep on my desk), and think this righty is a fun gal. They're drifting rightwards without even realizing it. Many of the toons spark frinedly discussion of serious issues.
A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat and was for distribution of all wealth. She felt deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, which she expressed openly.
One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and more welfare programs. In the middle of her heartfelt diatribe, based upon the lectures she had from her far left professors at her school, he stopped her and asked her point blank how she was doing in school.
She answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain; that she had to study all the time, never had time to go out and party like other people she knows. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many college friends because of spending all her time studying, because she was taking a more difficult curriculum.
Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Mary?" She replied, "Mary is barely getting by." She continued, "She barely has a 2.0 GPA", adding, "she takes all easy classes and she never studies." But to explain further, she continued emotionally, "but Mary is so very popular on campus. College for her is a blast. She goes to all the parties and very often doesn't even show up for classes because she is too hung over."
Her father then asked her, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your 4.0 GPA and give it to Mary, who only has a 2.0?" He continued, "That way you both will have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."
The daughter, visibly shocked by the father's suggestion, fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I worked really hard for GPA. I did without and Mary has done little or nothing. She played while I worked real hard!"
The father slowly smiled and said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."
COW BELLS! That solves everything.
See tagline.
How about a "Libo-Suction" treatment? B-)
Isn't that the truth !
It's made my life easier and more fun.
Challenge them to hire a homeless guy to babysit their kids one night.
YOU CAN'T, 'cuz they DON'T WANT to be cured. Consider their leftist views to be similar to those of the extreme Juhadists: no discussion, no compromise, only the destruction of their ideological enemies--by "any means necessary"--is their goal, even if that means their own death in the process. As long as they know they can hurt US, then their goals are accomplished, no matter whether or not their own suffering continues...after all, they can always blame someone else (the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" or the Jews'; homophobia or the hatred of Islam; the Religious Right or the support for Israel, etc., etc., etc.).
hmmmmm......I never knew that nobody on the political Right uses drugs. Thanx for the info.
how do you cure a leftist? try the following
The Modern Little Red Hen
Condensed from Nation’s Business July 1970
Once upon a time there was a little red hen who scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered some grains of wheat. She called her neighbors and said, “If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?”
“Not I, “ said the cow.
“Not I, “ said the duck.
“Not I, “ said the pig.
“Not I, “ said the goose.
“Then I will,” said the little red hen, and she did. The wheat grew tall and ripened into golden grain.
“Who will help me reap my wheat”, asked the little red hen.
“Not I,” said the duck.
“Out of my classification,” said the pig.
“I’d lose my seniority,” said the cow.
“I’d lose my unemployment benefits,” said the goose.
“Then I will,” said the little red hen, and she did.
At last, it came time to bake the bread. “Who will help me bake the bread?” asked the little red hen.
“That would be overtime for me,” said the cow.
“I’d lose my welfare benefits,” said the duck.
“I’m a dropout and never learned how,” said the pig.
“If I’m to be the only helper, that’s discrimination,” said the goose.
“Then I will,” said the little red hen. She baked five loaves and held them up for her neighbors to see.
The all wanted some – in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, “No, I can eat the five loaves myself.”
“Excess profits!” yelled the cow.
“Capitalist leech!” cried the duck.
“I demand equal rights!” shouted the goose.
The pig just grunted.
Then they hurriedly painted “unfair” picket signs and marched around, shouting obscenities.
The government agent came and said to the little red hen, “You must not be greedy.”
“But I earned the bread,” said the little red hen.
“Exactly,” agreed the agent. “That is the wonderful free-enterprise system. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But, under government regulations, the productive workers must divide their product with the idle.”
And they lived happily ever after. But the little red hen’s neighbors wondered why she never again baked bread.
