You're just wasting your time with silly facts. Democrats don't need facts. Their principles are based on blind faith (in a ideologically bankrupt political party). The guy next to me is a nice, ex-60's former hippie, but now a "nice family man". Daughters in college. He's bright, sociable, and we get along just fine.

However, when it comes to his attitude towards the war and "the President who started it", no logic, no news report, no facts will ever phase him. He believes war is bad, that the GOP is the party of colonial adventurism, that Bush stole the 2000 election, that he was AWOL from military duty (and that he dishonorably avoided duty in Vietnam!), and that everyone except his leftist Democrats are blind to reality.

He's a lot like Kerry. Communism? It wasn't that bad; neither were the N. Viet Cong - they were just an oppressed people. Berlin wall? Ahh..Reagan and cold warriors had nothing to do with it. It was all based on internal Russian and Eastern Eurpean politics. Kosavo? Now, that was the first "good war" in 50 years!

It's all garbage. You can't convince those who would rather sacrifice their freedoms than support a conservative idea. They'll keep "believing" until the last dead American GI in Iraq, AND every ..man, woman, and child in the USA.

SFS,
Yeah, I know just what you're talking about. I know folks just like your neighbor.

I have no sense of responsibility to force people to "see" the truth about the world of politics, or economics, or even my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

My responsibility ends with telling the Truth. I TRY not to argue with those who hold world views that are destructive to me, society, and themselves. I have to continue to remind myself that, occasionally, some along the way will come to a place where circumstances force them to see what they have denied most of their lives . . . the TRUTH. Not even all of this group will accept and change . . . but some will.

Right is still right even when all that's left is left.
