Every family’s got one, at least. That hardcore conservative who makes every Thanksgiving get-together a nightmare by sounding off, unprompted, on how liberals are ruining this country with their taxing and their spending and their gay-marrying, and how back in my day blah blah blah.
Usually you just keep your head down and stare into your turkey and try not to make eye contact with anyone. Then the next morning in the shower you remember what you should have said in response.
But this year’s going to be different. Why? Because here at MSNBC, we’ve anticipated crazy Uncle Gary’s top talking points, and provided you with the concise, factual, snappy rebuttals you need to finally shut him up once and for all.
So without further ado, we present: MSNBC’s Top 10 Comebacks For Use Against The Family Conservative
(Excerpt) Read more at tv.msnbc.com ...
Good point, I am the hostess, I have one church friend coming who is also conservative, my kids are conservative (by the grace of God) but all others wouldn’t vote for a Republican under any circumstances and luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv ubama.
Interesting comment from a ubama voter at the grocery store yesterday though holding forth in the baking aisle:
“My grandmother would be appalled that am buying Best Choice sugar, she only baked with C&H. If I bought food the way she did, I would have spent an extra $100. I can’t believe how expensive the food is. ‘they’ don’t care about people anymore. ‘they’ should tear the government down and start all over.”
I find this to be the case also. In our geriatric neighborhood, conservatives outnumber liberals 5 - 1, yet the first ones to broach politics at a neighborhood social gathering and go into an emotional, irrational mess are the lib neighbors. Never fails. I actually look forward to experiencing the outbursts as a form of cheap entertainment and a sensory reminder of how liberalism is a form of mental insanity. I really have to check myself during these escapades. Eviscerating a lib neighbor in front of their peers with conservative logic and fact is too easy and would make most of us in the neighborhood feel vindicated, but wouldn't promote neighborly harmony- which, for the time being, is more important than counting coup against a few idiots.
I remember somewhere that BREVITY is the soul of wit. “Zingers” do not go on pontificating for 3 or 4 paragraphs.
I guess they won’t be publishing “Zingers” to use on rabid, leftist tree suckers.
LOL. Leftists need prepared talking points just to have dinner with their families. Can’t ANY of them think for themselves?
I like to read articles like this.
It shows what to expect of their talking points - and they are quite weak....if I do bump into any of those statements it will be fun to cut them down swiftly.
We are supposed to be going over my brother’s house for Thanksgiving this year - problem is they have this uber liberal couple that always shows up - I told my brother if they decide to go to his house - call me - we’ll stay home with our turkey - they can keep their turkeys.
Secession cuts through all the BS and gets right down to the nitty gritty. Libs think secessionists are crazy.
How droll. I don’t know how these people can stand themselves.
I was at a dinner the other night with very conservative people from a number of foreign countries who are here for a relatively short time. We all got in a discussion about the gay agenda, and they said it was a culture shock to come over here and have the gays so aggressive. It frankly was a relief to know that there are other serious, responsible folks that believe the gayness is a moral issue.
It's the new normal. Get with the program, komrad.
Funny, it is just the opposite in my family. We have the one little liberal troll that every once in a while chimes in to tell us the virtues of her ideology. She is quickly shut down with real facts and she goes back to eating her free turkey.
that is an idiotic thing to post
I am so blessed... most of my family is conservative and the ones who aren’t won’t be dining with us. In our family we have ONE married couple who are liberal, but more middle of the roaders. So politics around our table are rather boring with everyone in agreement.
not clicking the link because I don;t want to add to their pathetic ratings but I will say this.
Conservatives have facts, yes facts, we can just say .
Poverty up
unemployment up
50% of students can;t get a job
debt up
Libya
death of a border agent
fast and furious
the lies covering all of this up.
We all know what to say and regards to the family.
Man and a woman make babies, it;s natures way.
where is a mans colon, prostate and how it can be injured with homosexual sex.
a woman pretending to be a guy by wearing a strap on.
nah nothing weird about that.
Also do we want to go back to the 50’s well I wasn;t born but damn right I would, divorce less, more fmailies raising better kids, country safer etc etc
Do we want ot go back to the Bush years, er yea, unemployment lower, gas $1.84 debt less
We on the right have been silenced for far too long, speak up , never let get the fringe lunatic left ever get away with their lies and crap ever again.
People have given their lives for this country, remember that when yoyu say thanks and the the least we all can do is SPEAK UP regardless of who is at that table, at that house or in your family.
Be proud to be on the RIGHT said, never be bullied
How droll. I don’t know how these people can stand themselves.
Not even an effort to get a similar list from a rightie... how lame.
you mean how troll of them
