I can be pretty persuasive in prose form. but face to face argument with a leftist or anyone else for that matter can be daunting....
as a wag once said, “I don’t argue too well, extemporaneously, off the top of my head” oh wait that wag was me.
so when the leftist at the cocktail party(or kegger or labor day bbq) tells me something, oh, let say. “Handguns, shouldn’t be legal as they could never make a dent in a standing army”...my sluggish gray cells begin to remember that one uses a handgun to get to a rifle. It recalls the story of the ‘liberator’ .45ACP single shot pistol dropped to the partisans in parts of Europe during WWII, so that Mr or Mrs partisan goes up to a german sentry with an offer of a cigarette and asks for a light and while Fritz is fumbling for his Ronson(or Krupp clone of same)the patriot launches a single smooth bore projectile through the brain of the Hun and takes his MP-38 and magazine belt for future fun and frolic......
then I stop daydreaming and Mr. Ponytail has left and starts his argument with the next person at the party....
so knowing that time keeps slipping slipping,into the future, sometimes I just argue something like “ Oh YEAH...well F*** you, that’s what...”
Post of the day and it’s not even daylight here yet!
