  1. My sister, a creepy REgressive, simply will not engage.

    Heres an example of her line of thought-she lives in Chicago. I point out the body count and ask why she doesn’t keep a weapon. Now the fact she won’t allow a gun in her home is one thing and certainly there are millions like that. But her reasoning is, that is what the police are for.

    She places her trust in others and abdicates personal responsibility. I might as well be talking to a wall.

  2. MM,

    I understand but there are worse leftists to be related to. My brother will gleefully argue any leftist talking point into the early hours of the morning, getting exactly nowhere, and he loves it. Shrugs off and dismisses counterargument like teflon…it’s like you never said it. I wrote them off years ago by saying he and I will never discuss politics or religion again.

    When he was experimenting with pot in high school decades ago, he got dosed with something that really scrambled his brain. We are convinced he never fully recovered from that because he occasionally acts fried to this day.

  3. Say what you will about ultra liberal Seth MacFarlane, but on occasion he was hilariously funny. My favorite? Ollie Williams with the Blackuweather Forecast: “It’s gonna rain”

  4. Want to know what I think about good, decent Americans all over this country who own guns? If it wasn’t for them, the Russians, Chinese, our own government, the blacks, and all other white hating races, the miscellaneous commies and radicals here and in South America, and freaks and screwball lunatics of all shapes and sizes, and just about anybody else who would love to see this country really go down, would take over, or at least be bold enough the moment the 2nd Amendment is repealed. Period.

  5. I try to keep in mind Reagan’s famous quote: Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.

    But it’s when they purposely ‘get it wrong’ in order to gaslight, that I become (sadly) hostile toward them. Nothing quite brings out the beast and the brute in me than a low-down liar who delights in chaos, confusion and deception. I have no patience for it.

  6. @Friend of the family — lol. Yeah, I don’t know. Sometimes I have to step away from those arguments because they bring out the worst kinds of sentiments from me. It’s fighting with the devil and that’s what he wants to see happen.

  7. I commend people who can continue to interact with relatives and friends who are libtards.
    Can’t do it myself…I’d probably end up in jail.
    It’s bad enough to have to spar with the odd idiot stranger who wanders into my local bar.

  8. Lazlo lived in Sedona for a while.
    I used to get into verbal jousts with the hippies and the liberal sissy folk that would degrade into them throwing full fledged tantrums with the screaming and the throwing of things.
    I had one guy at a party tell me the Bush Daughters need to be gang raped, because of Iraq, and global warming being his fault.
    I tried to disengage, but thinking he tasted verbal victory (conservatives are rare as hen’s teeth in Sedona) he followed me around posing loaded questions like” “So I guess its OK with you that we are Murdering Innocent Civilians in Iraq” and the like.
    I went outside on the balcony to get away. He dutifully followed.
    I told him that out here the women could not protect him.
    He took that as a challenge to see how many pokes in the chest I would endure.
    Landing in the cactus patch ten feet below the balcony completely eclipsed his broken index finger.

  9. “It’s like talking to a wall” was my father’s expression, and quite honestly that’s far less frustrating than talking to a dumbed-down, degreed, self-absorbed, spoon-fed, celebrity-obsessed, White guilt-ridden, Birkenstock-wearing, bottled-water-drinking, Politically Correct, kumbaya-singing, Xanax-disabled, Rainbow Plantation, COEXIST bumper-sticker Ignoranus!

  10. I don’t do “dialogues” with such people any more. When I’m in a social setting and certain topics come up, I can almost always force a change of subject to something more agreeable to us all.

    For example, the recent proposals to prohibit people on some watch list from buying firearms: “Y’know, when you approve of passing that kind of law you seem to forget that Martin Luther King was a gun owner and depended on guns to protect himself and his colleagues and he was on the FBI watch list.”

    Or: “I have always been a peaceful person, but if you come armed to take my property or take me into custody using force, I will kill you.”

  11. They start railing their nonsense I just preach something Gospel. If doesn’t driver them of it at least gives them chance for salvation and a new heart
