I like to use the analogy of a tree where the roots are the fundamental principles or basic concepts and the branches are the 1001 concretes. Most people argue out on the ends of the branches where its difficult sometimes to see the concept underlying the concrete. Stick to the root. Every time they saw on one of your branches take a big chunk out of one of their roots. They won’t like it very much because they avoid basic concepts because those are absolutes and they don’t like
absolutes. It’s like sunlight to a vampire.

You can only LAUGH at them.....flagrantly, in front of them...hilariously....and let them try and figure out why you are laughing....

You're absolutely right...and it drives them crazy, particularly with liberal lawyers.

BTW, yours was one of the most deserving double posts I've seen in my 13 years of freeping! ;^)

You've got them bracketed, now FIRE FOR EFFECT! LOL!!!

At least your relative reads what you send him ,My sisters delete my e-mails without reading them.

Just to mess with them, send one titled, "Did you get the belated birthday present I sent you?"

My advice: back away but not without saying that you would request that people not discuss politics in this setting (family dinner, holiday, whatever)

If they continue to hammer liberal points, go into the kitchen or somewhere else, preferably where there is alcohol.

with liberal ideologues who may be “friends”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I will not have a Democrat/liberal/Marxist-fascist for a friend! They are too evil or too stupid.

The 2000 election recount in Florida opened my eyes. Democrats ( who are liberal/Marxist-fascists) are either too stupid or too evil to be my friends. The former friends have been totally eliminated. The relatives are given as minimal contact as possible.

How is that any different than folks from our side quoting Limbaugh?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

“Our” side? Really? What is this? The royal, “we”? Huh?

Sorry, I am not on your side, and you are not on mine.

Correct.

You are a lunatic birther responding to a three month old post.

I’m not.

Can I have your cell phone number. I'd love to put you on speaker phone when I encounter liberals.

Hey that's not a bad idea for a business...charge x$’s per minute to be available as a resource to go toe to toe with liberal A-holes.

I don’t hang out with liberals at all.

If one shows up at a family gathering, I leave before the blood flows.

So funny...what’s probably even more funny is you can create an app for smart phones and initially you will make a lot of money before the fad dies. I stumbled across this page today and it refreshed my mind and soul. I realize it’s an old post, but still relevant today. After reading all the hate responses from the liberals it was really discouraging. I see so many Americans attempting to understand and express their voice like your doing here. Most liberals complain about intolerance, racism, and hate. When they themselves become the most hateful and intolerant when you do not agree with them.
