“How to Stop a Liberal from Talking”
Don’t start in the first place
Is not aborting a fetus the same as taking a human life? Do you support taking human life?
I'll settle for defeating them, though.
That question usually results in the leftard going off on a tangent of how many people were killed in the wars by the EEEEVVILLLL BOOOOOOOSH.
>>”How to Stop a Liberal from Talking”<<
Confront him with facts.
In recognition of the 39th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade ruling this week, I am going to jump right on topic number three. OK, there is no such book called How to Stop Dialogue In Its Tracks. But if there were, Sacha Baron Cohen surely would have been the author.
Obviously this guy has read How to Stop People Reading Your Articles in Two Paragraphs or Less.
If there were such a book Sacha's smarter cousin Simon Baron-Cohen could have been the author.
I’ve found a fun way to get under liberals’ skin is to regularly describe certain people or behavior as “normal”.
I know a lot of liberal acquaintances and one sure fire retort to any Obama argument is is “You can throw the race card and call me a racist anytime you feel like it..”
If you confront them with facts they just start with the ad hominem attacks. Emotion is where they retreat to when confronted with objectivity, and it is usually ugly.
Examples:
Abortion: ask them when someone becomes human. Most will say at third trimester. But not if the mother doesn't want it. Then facts are based on feelings.
Global warming: Ask them why are we worried about global warming in the coldest part of the Quaternary Ice Age at the end of our interglacial period while we are at dangerously low levels of CO2. They will look at you like they never heard any of that before and go on with some nutty ideas that we are out of the ice age when even the global alarmist don't believe that.
They drive their 'facts' based on feelings.
let me just clarify what you are saying.
It is normal for a woman to be executed for being raped or it is normal for a 53 year old man to marry a 6 year old girl. It is normal to execute someone for saying something that isn't politically correct.
Is that the type of normal we are referring to?
WTF are you bitching about? No one forced you to read the column
That's never worked for me, usually resulted in the yelling and stomping off in a huff. So I guess technically you are right - they stop talking, at least to me...
If the person declares that an embryo or fetus does not become a human being until it reaches a certain gestational age, and consequently destroying an embryo or fetus which has not reached that age does not constitute killing a human being, an "abortion equals killing" argument will be meaningless to such a person, at least with regard to those embryos or fetuses which have not yet reached the age in question.
I've spoken to a number of people who are of the opinion that it is murder to kill a fetus which has reached a certain age, but believe that destruction of embryos or fetuses prior to that age is not murder. I would suggest that rather than regarding such people as being the moral equivalent of those who insist that infanticide should be legal even after birth, it would be more helpful to solicit their help in protecting the late-term unborn.
In addition to being helpful in the obvious way, such an approach could also help in another more significant way: most people in the U.S. either have had an abortion or know someone who has. Many such people are stuck in a guilt trap: they believe that if abortion is evil, then they or their friends must be evil; since they refuse to believe that they or their friends are evil, they can therefore not believe that abortion is evil. Such people will do anything and everything necessary to protect that illusion, since they believe that to be the only way to prevent them from being destroyed by guilt. In reality, the efforts to pretend abortion is okay simply make them feel worse and worse about it, when what they really need is to say "I am a human being who made a terrible mistake, but I am wiser now, and can work for what is right from here out."
I would suggest that people who had an early-term abortion (or have friends who did so) but join in the fight against late-term abortions and infanticide may find that such work helps them to make the necessary leap from having to pretend that what they did was okay, to recognizing that it wasn't but that such recognition and atonement cures guilt far more effectively than denial.
Note that the message of atonement can be delivered as a religious one or a purely secular one. Even from a purely secular psychological standpoint, recognizing that one has done something wrong is far healthier than trying to justify one's wrongs with known falsehoods.
The only thing I found that works to stop a liberal from talking is to let them talk until they lose their voice.
There really is no such thing as having a political “discussion” with a liberal. They always start to yell, sweat, cuss and then throw random numbers around like, “62% of Americans like Obama according to an (make up a pollster) blah, blah”.
Incorporating common sense and logic into the “conversation” is where you lose them.
almost impossible to stop a libtard from talking.
that is their one medium of existence — words, and words only.
But you can throw them off balance and off subject by saying
the ‘wrong’ word. they will go after that like dog & bone.
done it many times, still fun.
That's kind of the point. After the "non-existent book" gambit, this guy lost a reader. And more than one, since most people didn't get much further than the title to judge by the comments.
