Great article, and highlights the problems we Conservatives run into when debating liberals. I like to discuss specific events in question and solicit opinions, but for the liberal it always seems to degenerates into childish namecalling within the first 60 seconds or so. For me, it is an exercise in frustration when trying to have a semi-intelligent political conversation with my liberal friends.

That's funny. I have a liberal sister too. She tells me the GOP symbol should be a coat hanger instead of an elephant because of their desire to ban all abortions. Funny stuff, a nonstop laugh track.

...the enlightened Left. Sounds like an oxymoron.

LOL
But of course, the ONLY time we see the "enlightened" Left is as they exit the powder room.

Thanks.

I was able to convince her to watch the debates last year and she ended up voting for GWB because Kerry was such an arrogant, snob. There is hope.

Isn't Elder on Hannity & Colmes-glasses? He's always in a pissy mood, almost militant in his attitude. He's like the Farrankhan cult"ultra black".

This is Larry Elder. And here's a link to his website.

I'm pretty certain that he's not the guy you're talking about.

The author is much more reasonable than I. I had one of these interlopers interrupt a quiet conversation by literally screaming in my face; as I do not take kindly to rude and obnoxious liberals, I did the only thing possible, I stuck my fingers up the offender's nostrils and suspended him on his tip toes until he calmed down and acknowledged he had no business interrupting a private conversation that he had not been invited to attend. Of course, there was the usual threats of arrest, suit, etc for assault, but I quietly explained to the idiot that I was not assaulting him, just calming him down and at any rate assault would have occurred only if I had thrown him out the front window of the establishment, something I was seriously contemplating. In short, nothing happened to me and the interloper actually apologized several days later. I call it my bowling ball approach to liberals.

Tell your sister that the coat hanger should be the symbol of the Democrat Party - it's the one that cheers on abortion.

I have liberal relatives - don't bother keeping in touch with them anymore. Waste of time.

****Nearly 70 percent of Americans, according to a recent Associated Press-Ipsos poll, consider people more rude than 20 or 30 years ago.****

Well that can't be true in Atlanta where everyone is soooo nice and friendly. Yeah right ! LOL!
