pudge's Journal: Ignore Them

Four years ago, the Democrats decided they would undermine the GOP majority by sniping and complaining about every little thing.

Already this time, we see the Democrats blaming stupid people, "conservative" media, and a lying President for the Democratic Party failures.

We know the media is not slanted right, we know Kerry lied at least as much as Bush, and we know that the people who voted for Kerry are not any smarter than the people who voted for Bush.

But what point is there in arguing about it? They won't change their mind, even if they really believe it, and by engaging in the discussion you just aid their goal of dragging down the country so the GOP majority cannot be successful in its goals.

So ignore them. Dismiss them. Don't even try to prove them wrong. Think pearls and swine. Move on. If they want to live in negativity and the past and play the blame game, they are not worth your time. If they want to talk about how to move forward, then great.

You know you've won an argument with a Liberal when they call you stupid.

Well that was quick.

• You know you've won an argument with a Liberal when they call you stupid.

It's a dead giveaway that they haven't anything else to hold on to when they call you that. It's a kneejerk reaction to getting hit by the reality train. Sadly, they don't recognize it.

So when a conservative calls me a stupid asshole, I'm doing pretty well myself.

I really hate to break it to you, but conservatives aren't "above the fray" either. BOTH sides do this. BOTH.

Don't forget that and you will go far.

And, while we won't get a chance to prove it with THIS election, other elections saw lots of gnashing of teeth from the conservative side when they lost.

We won't call you stupid. We'll call you a fucking Communist. ;)

Wow. I've won a lot of arguments without ever saying a word.

This is a stupid argument.

These statements are not fact-based. Characterising all contrary voices as "sniping", frames dissent as some sort of snivelling perversity. Left-wingers don't raise their voices solely to torment the GOP.

I'm not surprised you think your side has the pearls, and the other side are just swine. Your willigness to debate has increasingly seemed to me not as a genuine inquiry, as something you do to congratulate yourself.

Sorry, dissent is part of democracy, and winning an election just puts one set of people i

Nobody did that.

I neither said, nor implied, that.

brevity, you are obviously upset and so unable to think rationally that you are resorting to pure straw man attacks. Please take a break.

I think it can be said like this:

You an lead a person to facts but you can't make them think.
