HELP!! I need help with some creative 1 - 3 liners to quip back to ultra dem friends on Facebook. Nothing too offensive. My 13 year old son attended the DC Tea Party today (with school permission from one of Maryland's ONLY republican counties - an oasis in this state for sure)and I am getting flamed by liberal friends; they are REALLY tree-hugging liberals!. Usually, I do not take on these folks because they ARE friends. However, some are just so "holier-than-thou" and I would love some sensible quips to toss back to them and their tax-loving comments. I am tired and just feeling too witty. ~~ Civil Air Patrol Mom in Maryland
Hosepipe, Thank you...just what I want!!!
“The problem with socialism (substitue big gov’t if you like) is that you eventually run out of other people’s money” — Margaret Thatcher
“Don’t worry: The boxcars are taking you to a nice place where you can work with dignity.”
How many liberals does it take to change a light bulb? None. They will get a gov’t bailout to change the light fixture.
LOl, mind if I take that image?
You might think they are friends. They aren’t. They love themselves first, as their behavior here shows.
Don’t waste you time debating online. You can show a lib the light, but only one-on-one and with a lot of caring effort.
“A Conservative is a Liberal who has been mugged.”
I know, it’s OLD, but still true
Eventually, socialists run out of other peoples money.
How much of my money is your fair share?
Unfriend them. Problem solved!
We tar and feather them (def: criticize severely and devastatingly) so they won’t try to czar and fetter us.
I’m really good at making my point. My liberal friends hate it because they have no comebacks.
My son tries to defend his positions but gets clobbered simply because he’s not quick witted in debates.
So you may want to think twice before going down this road because needing to take a time out to get some ammo/responses typically makes it look like you lost the argument.
You may be better served trying to find things you can agree on and work it from that angle. For example, this news article that the mainstream media is hiding: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-20002423-38.html
Or just say isn’t it great we have the 1st amendment that protects their right to say what they are saying. Then you may want to make a simple point the media is failing the country. And ask why is it that the media covered the millino man march and praised it, but they ignored the tea party rallies until they couldn’t ignore them so they started attacking them. I’d ask probing questions to make them think...you won’t win in one round but you may end up winnning in the long run.
My most liberal friends now admit global warming is a scam (but they insist that it’s still good to recycle...they are stupid and think that for some reason if you didn’t believe in global warming you wanted dirty water and wanted to waste energy). They also agree the media is biased (but they still watch CNN). It’s a start...oh and they also are very ticked and unhappy with Obama!
It’s a long education. I can’t deprogram 40 years of government schooling overnight, but I’m working as fast as I can.
Finally you may want to find some quotes from Jefferson (a founding father who was a democrat). That’s always fun.
You can’t find a better way to waste your time?
“If you are 20 years old and not a liberal, then you haven’t got a heart. If you are 40 years old and not a conservative, then you haven’t got a brain.” — Winston Churchill
“It’s not that our liberal friends don’t know anything, it’s just that so much of what they DO know is wrong.” —Reagan
Sorry, I can't help you with that.
Note, that is a double entendre.
