"If you can somehow force a liberal into a point-counterpoint argument, his retorts will bear no relation to what youve said unless you were in fact talking about your looks, your age, your weight, your personal obsessions, or whether you are a fascist. In the famous liberal two-step, they leap from one idiotic point to the next, so you can never nail them. Its like arguing with someone with Attention Deficit Disorder." -- Ann Coulter
"Arguing with liberals...it's like playing chess with a pigeon; no matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, crap on the board and strut around like it's victorious." -- Anonymous

If you must argue, remember that it is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument.

If you must argue, remember, for onlookers, it is impossible to tell which one is the idiot.
The topic of this post serves only to make Republicans and conservatives look foolish, and believe me, there ARE plenty of them around. Republicans AND Democrats are both being lied to be the ruling administration. The so-called "middle-class" is made up of R's and D's, and both being attacked by job losses, higher healthcare costs, and government regulation.
Remember: Obama/Reid/Pelosi/Carney aren't just lying to Republicans/conservative...they're lying to Democrats/liberals equally. We are all in this together!

If they can keep everyone at each others throats, people will be too preoccupied to pay attention to the dirty tricks those who are supposed to be governing are doing to all of us.
Their goal is to gain more power and wealth at the expense of we the people.

The thing that bothers me, phcaan, is that these are ALL people! Even before they are Republicans or Democrats, before they are conservative or liberal, they are American PEOPLE. We all really have more in common than we do differences. But our politicians aren't ours anymore! They are members of an elite group that shares nothing with us. They find it easier to lie to us than be honest. Actually, they don't CARE enough about us to be honest with us.

Danilo, we've had differences in the past, but this is a good post.

And where are we now???

It just disappoints me, dljen, that because you hold different opinions on some topics than I do, I'm supposed to think you're stupid, dull, incapable of rational thought. I just find that ridiculous. If, indeed, you are stupid, it will take much, much more than differing opinions to convince me of it. Seems like we should be able to chat in a civil manner, play a game of pool, or look at some cool cars, just be plain old people. As I said before: we probably have more in common than not. I hope other people will not be able to convince you that I'm stupid. I should be the only one who can do that!

I don't think you're stupid at all. All of us should be able to chat like the adults we are. Another good post that I agree with!
In fact, the topic of this post is silly and divisive, I'm unwatching now. Nobody needs this in their lives...

I've done head swaps in Photoshop before. Palin's head looks good on that body. Haven't you ever wondered what... never mind. ;-)

Yeah, I know, Bangee. But I've always thought Sarahs head looks just fine on her body...in her clothes. So, I must be the only one who's always liked her. I never bought the wicked discrediting she suffered mere minutes after being chosen for VP.
