If you're immune to the hypnosis, you merely see that in a corner of their lives, (granted, a very important one) they are hypnotized, they shut off critical thought and instinct.
I'm immune, because i relate directly to the world and I'm rational. It's not that difficult.
If you're that way, it's actually the reverse. The more you listen to them, the more immune you are. They are not tricky, nor is there a lulling effect. Love the voter, hate the sin.
Besides, if you're not their friends - who's going to wake them up? Who's going to tell them for 6 months Obama will lose big time, and let them laugh in your face? Some will take pause when reality mugs them this Nov 7. I have fed them 14,000 facts, statistics, cogent arguments, economic theory, historical realities, why 'it's HER body' is a red herring. Liberals are sheep - part of the flock this election is turning direction. Some will move, if only slightly. If you only talk to conservatives, how are you helping the situation? An Echo chamber spreads not truth. That's why there were and are missionaries.
Don't give me Hell for fighting in the belly of the beast. I'm a spy and an operative for the good guys, and I can't be turned, and in a world with a constant pressure pushing it to hell, liberals provide bit of tragic comedy. Conservatism is not a philosophy but a clear eyed view of reality and what works. Liberalism is a philosophy. No intellectual philosophy can trump what's in front of your face unless you're willing. (Intellectual Philosophy is in fact Satan's most effective means of deceiving even the good.)
Got any friends who don't believe in God? Haven't accepted Jesus? Hate 'em? Afraid to be around them? Of course not, it's your place to help, and if you're grounded, there is no threat and they are not your enemies. The ideas are the enemy, the dust covering their eyes, their hypnosis is the enemy. Well, it's the same with liberals. 96% know not what they do, the rest are evil.
Come November 7, about 35 people I know in Massachusetts will wake up with a devastating political hangover, pain opens people's minds, and the first thing that comes to mind will be that some idiotic conservative guy spelled it out to them in detail 10 times despite their laughing and mocking. They will find no difference in what I've told them for a long time, and the reality on Nov. 7.
So maybe 1 will secretly reconsider, the rest will just put the pedal to the hate metal, but I will have at least entertained myself during 4 of the darkest and threatening years this country has ever known.
So it's all good.
:-) - all in fun, my friend, but all true.
I love your spirit, and your patience. I’m 64 and it’s been my experience that liberals can not be changed, and talking to them only redefines their idiocy, and brings it to my attention, yet again. Having said that, I’ve told several people that it’s going to be a Romney Landslide, and they just can’t have it. Had one just this afternoon. I can hardly wait for November 6th. Rush can barely contain himself.
