What I Have Learned From Debating Young Liberals

Don’t forget that the internet is global. Foreigners, especially from other English-speaking countries like the UK or Canada, where Leftism is more deep-rooted and is mixed with anti-Americanism, will get on any website and spew leftwing garbage and you might never realize they are not American. Sure we have plenty of our own leftwing nutbags, but on the Web the proportions can be deceiving. Also, leftwingers, being inherently partial to lying and cheating, will often sock-puppet to make their opinion seem more prevalent.

I do not believe government or politics determine, for long, the thoughts, attitudes and values of patriotic Americans. There is an undeniable spirit abroad in this land, nurtured by the Holy Spirit, that is unquenchable.
The Founders understood God is in control of the destiny of our nation. Those who fail to grasp this singular truth are doomed. They will not prevail because they do not have the power of the spirit that supersedes their authority. Nevertheless, it requires every citizen touched by the Spirit to do his utmost for this land of freedom.

Bunch of hypocrits. Contradicting hypocrits. One stupid ass defeated his own arguement in the same sentence. Telling me Carl Rove was a genius to get Bush who fought an illegal war (still pushing that lie) elected again.

But Rove has just been outted for the cover up of weapons that were moved. So if the weapons were there it wasn’t an illegal war.

The young will always be chimps until the learn how to think for them selves.

It was as though the world had turned upside-down. Then there came a moment when the first shock had worn off and when, in spite of everything-in spite of their terror of the dogs, and of the habit, developed through long years, of never complaining, never criticising, no matter what happened-they might have uttered some word of protest. But just at that moment, as though at a signal, all the sheep burst out into a tremendous bleating of-

"Four legs good, two legs better! Four legs good, two legs better! Four legs good, two legs better!"

It went on for five minutes without stopping. And by the time the sheep had quieted down, the chance to utter any protest had passed, for the pigs had marched back into the farmhouse.”

Classical education model, used to be de rigeur in this country, now making a comeback. I refuse to have my children educated any other way.

From the article:

It is as though they [the author's liberal interlocutors] read titles and then go straight to the comment section.

No small amount of that goes on right here on good, ol' Free Republic.

Any argument with a liberal has it end when they call you a poopy head.
