I like to ask l*b*r*l candidates (we sure don't have many of the other kind!) here in DC how they intend to close the 'gun gap' - the fact that a greater percentage of white households than black are armed. I also like to get into the racist history of gun control.

But that's more to embarrass candidates than to convince anyone. One-on-one I emphasize rape to women, gay-bashing to gays, robbery to taxi drivers, and generally try to appeal to self-interest and dignity. The thing I find hardest is countering 'facts' that aren't true. Their propaganda IS effective!

I have argued politics with both the left and right and consistently the right has shown more respect...

David Horowitz would agree with you. Radical Son

I do too. I find a distinct difference between liberal politicians, such as Daschle and Gephardt, and the rank and file, such as many over at the DU. The liberal politicians are outright deceivers. The rank and file come across as misguided/wrongheaded.

A libertarian wouldn't part that fast with his dope. At least not for free. They're known as goofy and cheap SOBs.

So will you tell Dane et al that I'm not really a libertatian? Of course you would have to lie. Like I care...

stop evil George Bush from bombing the poor terrorists in Afghanistan

That's libelous; almost all libertarians recognize an attack on the US and want to retaliate.

and allow abortion of demand while being "personally" against it (a favorite of "moderate" Democrats). .. And Republicans

abolish the "racist" death penalty

Another libel; Those libertarians who are against it generally don't trust the gov't enough to allow it to take such drastic action. Next you'll be trying to convince people that the LP organized "Free Jumia" (sp) rallies!

end the "racist" war on drugs (this was a favorite of George McGovern

I don't remember that, you sure it wasn't just legalizing MJ?

Ah, but apparantly they're not unteachable:

Your thread has got me because it is a system of beliefs that can bring opposing views together ie: locally fund what you support. As Liberals we belive that the majority feel as we do and want to help thier fellow man. Therefore there should be enough people in the community to help those who need it and not "depend" on the government to do these things (my big problem - all talk no action - that's what the government is for - for someone so liberal I have not actually helped that many people - except paying taxes that is).

Or maybe this guy is just a "double agent" pretending to see the light.

Other side effects include falling on the floor in uncontrollable fits of laughter, sometimes leading to incontinence. Also, friends may begin to beg you to get help before its too late. And if you register to post and say anything intelligent, you are guaranteed to be banned!

ROTFLMAO, so sorry I missed your post before! I think a Tire-Iron should be acceptable when countering socialists, considering they've got the media on their side.

You mean "Mumoo JaBooBoo Cop Killer"? Fry the worthless SOB! He doesn't rate the bag of Frito's we have to feed his worthless ass every day, not to mention that glass of water the guards have to bring him.

Dissent will not be tolerated, for the sake of diversity.

If you would stop filling your posts with references to dipwads, dope, porn, nonchalant sex, sodomy, whack-jobs, and verbally copulating in stinking rat's nests, it would sure clean up this place.

Here's a couple of links for your amusement. The first relates to a thread at the DU when they came across the FR photo album. They are obsessed with us. The second was posted by a DUh'er that also posts on FR.

How can you stand even trying to follow that $Hi++y message board? It makes my brain hurt, and that's before I even find what they're trying to say.

If you can fight through it, you do learn why the LP gets less than 1%.

(Paraphrased Gospel of Matthew, chapter 15, Jesus speaking to scribes and Pharasees and KC)

Hey! Don't you know that it's not what you put in your mouth that makes you filthy, it's what comes OUT of your mouth, because out of your mouth flows the abundance of your heart. The words that flow out of your mouth are a reflection of your heart and mind. These are the things that truly defile a man.

tpaine and I constantly talk of liberty and freedom; Kevin constantly talks of evil deeds. Jesus said that one's words reveal one's heart. Poor Kevin.

I trust whatever intelligence Dane has gathered and added to his porfolio on you. Must of you libertarians need to be kept an eye on. He seems to be your guardian angel that keeps you from making too much of an ass out of yourself.
