Trick question -- right?
I salt mine down and hang them from the back porch for about a week, but everybody has a different method.
the same way you cure a ham......hang em in a smokehouse
Then tell them this is what they do to other people.
Stop enabling them on a personal level. When they come to you for help, decline. When they come to you for assistance, decline.
Seems to me that since we are routinely characterized as idiots, morons, neanderthals, etc, how in good conscience can we come to their assist? If anything, we would be more likely to cause them harm rather than help them.
Let them fend for themselves and ultimately take some lumps. I maintain that the average liberal benefits more for their relationships with conservatives, than the average conservative benefits from their relationships with liberals.
Try it - it's fun.
I once thought flying planeloads of people into buildings full of people would cure them but I was wrong. Their condition appears to be terminal.
That reminds me..weren't we supposed to get sex if we voted?
If you're into the organic/native american thing,
you can tan them with their own brains, but I prefer
an acid tan if you want to keep the pelt.
Remember to rinse and stretch, rinse and stretch.
As an aside I remember going to a rondesvous and someone
had a nicely done skunk hide that just fit over a Fifth
of whisky, you had to lift the tail to drink.
Real jokers those couriers de bois.
Why cure them? They just walk in circles. Left, Left, Left....
You take away their welfare checks...
this has proven to be a rather fun thread.
Mandatory deprogramming.
Q: How do you cure a socialist?
A. Give him a wallet.
Q: How do you cure a leftist?
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.
