Sure, it’s offensive - and like everything else so far, this will backfire on them, too.

This coming from a DUmmiekrat is strange. If he is using the term “gay” as a derogatory slur, then he must believe that being “gay” is bad and worthy of contempt. Not a good position for a DUmmiekrat to be in.........

I have a child on the way and I would probably feel like a total failure as a parent if she turned out to be a liberal. Anyone know how this can be prevented?

You might want to send this info to Michelle Malkin (at Michellemalkin.com), and if you can get a scan of the offending cartoon that might help.

Your first post is great. It is a reaction to Begala’s consistently nasty persona. In the past, Begala and Carville had some kind of TV show where they commented politically. I can’t remember which show or what station.

Begala was always small minded and mean spirited, almost evil. Whereas Carville was more of an ‘entertaining’ liberal, not gutter minded.

Begala’s persona is almost sociopathic in his presentation.

Nice Job and welcom to FR

Here’s a few gems for you now democRAT indoctrinated son.

The democRAT party is the home of every type of criminal and pervert imaginable.

Democrats...the party of Slavery, Segregation, Sodomy, and Sedition

Give a Liberal a thought and he’ll repeat it mindlessly all day. Teach a Liberal to think for himself and he’ll vote Republican for the rest of his life.

What the liberal mind is passionate about is a world filled with pity, sorrow, neediness, misfortune, poverty, suspicion, mistrust, anger, exploitation, discrimination, victimization, alienation and injustice.

They are poor, weak, sick, wronged, cheated, oppressed, disenfranchised, exploited and victimized. They bear no responsibility for their problems. None of their agonies are attributable to faults or failings of their own: not to poor choices, bad habits, faulty judgment, wishful thinking, lack of ambition, low frustration tolerance, mental illness or defects in character.

None of the victims’ plight is caused by failure to plan for the future or learn from experience. Instead, the “root causes” of all this pain lie in faulty social conditions: poverty, disease, war, ignorance, unemployment, racial prejudice, ethnic and gender discrimination, modern technology, capitalism, globalization and imperialism.

In the radical liberal mind, this suffering is inflicted on the innocent by various predators and persecutors: “Big Business,” “Big Corporations,” “greedy capitalists,” U.S. Imperialists,” “the oppressors,” “the rich,” “the wealthy,” “the powerful” and “the selfish.”

Freedom of speech must never be suppressed, except for criticism directed at minorities, non-Christian religions, homosexuals, communists, illegal aliens, and other constituencies of the Democrat party.

For the moment, the ideological heirs of those that believe the flames of liberty must be extinguished and the aspirations of the individual curtailed for the alleged good of humanity have grown more sophisticated in their methods of getting the people to comply with their agenda. However, as Americans draw ever closer to the breaking point of just how much they are willing to put up with as frankly we are fast approaching the threshold where there is precious little left for the state to steal, we must ask with concern will the aspiring despots among us resort to the violent tendencies of their philosophical progenitors in the attempt to bring about socialism’s ultimate triumph

He will wake up when he gets his first regular paycheck after he graduates. I know I did. I was a lefty loser until 1975 when I graduated and found out I was expected to make it on my own.

Hope you aren’t paying his college bills. Nothing makes it easier for the left on colleges to enroll young men & women into their ranks than kids with too much time on their hands while having their tuition and board being paid by mom & dad.

Consider charging your son $1000 to $5000 for each presidential election in which he votes democrat. Don’t collect now; just charge him in your estate. Pass the money on to another relative.

You did great. Advice: (This is not a criticism - just something I learned from experience.) Vanity or personal opinion posts are fine during low peak times of FR operation such as now. But save them for later if there is a big breaking news event or during the day of an election, e.g. as the server gets bogged down at those times with all the people using it.

Just give your son time. He’s surrounded by people who think just like him. When he gets a job, starts paying taxes and supporting himself, he’ll see things in a very different light.

Winston Churchill wrote (I paraphrase): “Any man who is not Liberal at age 20 has no heart. If that same man is not Conservative at age 40, he has no head”.

It will take experience with the real world to cure your son of the brainwashing he has received from the Education establishment. (I was 31 when I voted for a Republican for the first time - 1984). Be patient and gently challenge some of his more outlandish assumptions. He very well may come around.

Welcome to FR.

How do you know it is from Begala? His name on it?
Need an image of his name on the disgusting rag methinks
next to a characteristic defaming pic.

You write: “but as a Christian I need to stand up against this hate.”

As I said earlier, don’t pay his college bills. When he finds out it is all his money going for an education he will suddenly have a lot less time for the lefties at campus.
