Hi - I tend to keep it pretty factual - I familiarize myself with specific examples of how poorly nationalized healthcare works in Europe such as dramatically reduced 5 year cancer survival rates, for instance, and conclude 'I'm not willing to die early for 0bamacare' and I don't think the rest of the 90% who will appreciate the health care takeover either', or 'I don't agree with taking health care from senior citizens and giving it to illegal aliens' or something along those lines.

I also throw the huge Leftist double standards that they apply to Bush versus 0bama regarding spending, policies et al at Lefties all the time and tell them that their double standards are not good enough for me or any other reasonable person. Basically I put them on the defensive and make them factually back up everything they are in favor of or else retract their accusations.

Generally, Lefties are totally unequipped to defend their opinions or to explain how 'Bush' 'screwed up' much of anything by way of acting as apologists for 0bama screwing up pretty much everything. I use the term '0bot' a lot and chide them on their unoriginal sockpuppetry when I am not castigating them on their ignorance or hypocrisy.

Thank you....your points are well taken and will be applied.

I have removed my lib-tard “friends” and Facebook is now a nice place to go and have some fun.

I actually just got into it with a “friend” (an insurance salesman in Assachusetts, none the less) who believes we should pull all funding from NASA. His completely braindead friends backed him up - I helped to shut them down - but I have learned how to argue with the liberal.

Don’t present winning argument. They don’t understand it anyway. Make it seem that you are neutral - but swoop in with a few funny remarks, fun-poking names or really funny looking words (FLOTUS works well. Also when people ask you to explain TOTUS)
The one I call a “friend” in this isn’t necessarily on the money, but he isn’t a total lunatic either. He just doesn’t understand the world around us, and is frightened by loud noises and long words. (You will see that this whole thing is just steeped in idiocy. Even my comments (Steven Earl) are very light-weight, so as not to frighten the children involved.

-IDIOTIC STATUS UPDATE- Mr. President: Do we really need to spend 6 billion dollars on NASA right now? No, seriously... do we REALLY need to spend SIX. BILLION. F***ING. DOLLARS. ON SPACE EXPLORATION!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!7 hours ago ·

-A semi-reasonable friend of mine- um helloooo space exploration is pretty much our biggest technological windfall buddy. if we stop spending on NASA then we wont get all the other cool stuff that comes along.
for example - think about how much you like dippin’ dots. without NASA, they dont exist.

-Idiot- 6 billion dollars would provide most of the homes and businesses in the United States with solar power, wind power or hydro-electric power and thus decrease our dependency on foreign oil and make this whole world a cleaner place. Is that more important than blasting a fucking space shuttle through the atmosphere and vaporizing a few thousand barrels of fuel in the process? SPACE EXPLORATION IS NOT A PRIORITY.

-Some completely lunatic girl- I agree with (The original idiot). Not to say that NASA doesn’t have it’s purpose, but let’s prioritize here a little bit. What do you do in your own household budgets? Do you not pay your mortgage so that you can go to Europe for a month? No, you prioritize which our government has been struggling to do for....oh...EVER! It doesn’t matter who’s at the top...no one can do it. Did you know that our national debit increased 18 million dollars in the time that it too you to read this? I mean really.

-friend of mine- lets not mention that the NASA budget has been cut back nearly 45% already over the past 5 years. 6B is only giving back 2% of what they have already cut.
2 hours ago

-Original idiot- Lets take a minute to analyze this: The United States is going through the biggest economic slump in decades, unemployment is at an all time high, we are having a major energy crisis, and the president feels 6 billion dollars should be spent toward space exploration rather than developing renewable resources and even tax credits for energy ...
efficient appliances, windows, and even solar power/wind turbines. I refuse to believe noone can see the problem in this. Military spending is completely out of control as well, but we have problems right now that do not involve FLYING TO THE F***ING MOON. Make this world livable and self-sustaining, THEN lets go look at the others. Crimminy.

- A pretty smart kid - All points are valid....however, nasa is an on going investment...the us would loose more if they drop it then 6billion...not to mention and current on going projects 6 billion is chump change. There are worse things we spend money on(amtrak) then nasa...yes, amtrak is subsidized by your tax dollar

Steven Earl I was part of a conversation with a tourist and Jim Lovell. Jim said that every year a tax payer pays $20 into NASA. That was years ago too, before the other cuts (Obozo isn’t the only one to dip into NASA funds for stupid sh!t)

Steven Earl The big picture is that we are giving up our status. Just... giving it up. NASA was the pinnacle of human endeavors. Our military defenses won the cold war. Our economy is the strongest in human history. Our healthcare, while not “free”, is the best in the world. And TOTUS just hands it away in favor of entitlement programs. And for what ? To ...
ensure a voting base. He threatens private companies. He won’t salute a flag. He BOWED TO THE KING OF SAUDI ARABIA ! He’s the worst president. Ever. I couldn’t even dream up the ways he’s ruined the country - and he’s no where near finished !

“A Conservative is a Liberal who has been mugged.”

I know, it’s OLD, but still true

Does getting mugged by your government as part of some socialist wealth redistribution scheme count? If so, then about 53% of us should be conservatives. The 47% that pay no taxes...well...

Ask 'em about Obama's czars. Yes recent presidents have had czars but..

Tell 'em to research/read two books by Cass Sunstein Obama's head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and call you in the morning.

Nudge and Republic.com are the two books.

After researching/reading the book Nudge they should be able to explain "choice architecture" and "libertarian paternalism." Is that the America they want?

Technically Sustein is not a czar, his appointment required Senate approval.

[Ballygrl]

It’s hard for me to just cut it down to a few words, but here are somethings I would say, if they love taxes then maybe challenge them to pay more out of their own pockets, liberals love everyone else’s money but are cheap with their own, you can also ask them things like “how’s that global warming working out”, or something like “have you seen the latest polls from Rasmussen and Gallup”, or “what is it about free speech that bothers you”, or maybe something like “if you care so much about other peoples healthcare then why don’t you adopt a family and pay for their healthcare for a year or two”.

[Woodstock]

If they call you a “tea-bagger,” reply, “I’d rather be a tea-bagger than an ankle-grabber.”

DONE!!!! Love that, offensive as it is...too funny!

[for-q-clinton]

I don’t have any handy but another fun game to play is who said this....

And then put up some quotes by some stupid liberal leader (like Obama or Nanzi Pelosi), but list people like Stalin, Castro, and Hugo Chavez in the choices (along with Obama and Nanzi).

Then take one Hitler said that they will agree with and then put the same list of people. It’s always fun to mess with people that way. I believe Rush, Glenn, or Hannity have done something similar. I’ll see if I can find some for you.

[Signalman]

Personally, I don’t have any liberal friends. Why bother.

[Navy Patriot]

You have better things to do than argue with idiots.

[ThunderSleeps]

“Every conservative I have ever met gives to charity. I have never met a liberal who pays extra taxes.”

Yes, I give to my Church, Good Will, build houses with Habitat and volunteer at several schools.

My lib neighbor that had the obama signs in her front yard last election? Doesn't go to Church, can't swing a hammer, doesn't volunteer anywhere... Things that make you go hmm...

[MIlle]

Parts of Baltimore County, like Phoenix. Or Hereford?

Hunt Valley, Cockeysville .... those places can be pretty conservative. Roscoe Bartlett is a pretty good Congressman, no?

[A_Tradition_Continues]

TEA PARTY...The Party of KNOW.

[Woodstock]

obama racked up more national debt in his first year than all 43 of his predecessors combined in their entire terms.

I will fact check this somehow because this IS MY #1 thought and complaint!!! Thank you for posting this!

[ThunderSleeps]

Heard that on that evil talk radio just this morning.

"Yea, lets abolish the government no more taxes! Wait, no more schools, highway system, labor laws, environmental laws, monetary system, social security, medicare, national defense, etc, etc. What a great idea tea baggers have!"

Ask them how the United States survived before 1913.

Ask them to tell you the percentile of wage earners (top X% of incomes) and the percentage amount of income, when the income tax was established.

Ask them if they like the idea of government workers getting to retire at age 50 or 55 on 80% of the average of their three final years' salary -- even if they get another job.

Ask them if that is more or less "progressive" than now.

"I'm excited that when there is no more Social Security and Medicare, Grandma gets to move in with me and I get to pay for all her doctor/hospital visits. Can't wait! She's excited about it too."

Ask them if they really believe in death panels: hospitals admitting people under Medicare / Medicaid face stiff penalties if they re-admit the same patient for the same disease within 30 days, even if it's an emergency, even if the doctor made a mistake.

Point out that under Obamacare, healthy 20-somethings will have their premiums go UP to subsidize the elderly. Before Obamacare, the ratio of premiums was 7:1 -- now it will go down to 3:1.

Insurers typically charge six or seven times as much to older customers as to younger ones in states with no restrictions. The new law limits the ratio to 3-to-1, meaning a 50-year-old could be charged only three times as much as a 20-year-old.
The rest will be shouldered by young people in the form of higher premiums.

Ask them if they approve of the OBAMA justice department pushing for the right to read your emails and browser history for up to 2 years WITHOUT a warrant.

Source.

Ask them if they liked Bush's response to Katrina.

Then point out Obama wants them to wait longer than that if their city gets hit by a terrorist nuke.

Cheers!

"Yea, lets abolish the government no more taxes! Wait, no more schools, highway system, labor laws, environmental laws, monetary system, social security, medicare, national defense, etc, etc. What a great idea tea baggers have!"

Ask for a link where the tea party wants to abolish the government. or "Sorry Pal, you don't know what you're talking about, as a liberal, I thought you would be more informed and "nuanced" in your comment"

"I'm excited that when there is no more Social Security and Medicare, Grandma gets to move in with me and I get to pay for all her doctor/hospital visits. Can't wait! She's excited about it too."

Tell them that had we privatized even a portion of Social Security as Reagan wanted to do in the '80's, you, your mother and your childs health care would be paid for.
