I’m sorry Michelle, but I could only watch a little bit of this segment. I see Liberals as not only wrong on most issues, but arrogantly and dangerously foolish, so it’s difficult to stomach anything they say. I have a very liberal father-in-law, and to keep the peace, we just can’t talk politics.

I agree with you to a point liberty but it’s also important to “know thy enemy”. I sometimes venture into liberal websites and blogs to see what’s going on from their side.

Is the truth really as simple as this: liberals just don’t have a vision?

He said that they had to articulate that “vision” after they win on Nov. 7th, 2006. Must be done ahead, not après.

He made my day when he (a nice person) said “we’re all sane”. Many people and statements came to mind – it was pretty amusing.

I never try to convert such people but adore talking to them, calmly, with examples and logic. Ex. “W is not my President”. “Really, Bill Clinton was and is mine”… The erudite/elitist ones are the best to tango with because they can’t act like cretins but you can take them close enough to where they realize their own flawed ‘reasoning’ capabilities.

Lives are in danger. It isn’t talk, it is lives. When we are talking about politicians getting along or having a debate, it is lives. The lives of sons daughters, husbands and wives. I don’t think anyone has to be nice to people who are saying nasty things putting their lives in danger.

Maybe I am a bit more agrivated than usual today about liberals and their socialist ilk. Today, I walked through parking lots, hallways, and other decks. There were young people who just got back from Iraq and were being processed as they arrived home. I seen them there, with their backpacks waiting around the building all day.

When I see these young people, I feel proud of them and this country. I see people who are doing things worth while with their lives who come home with memories of what ever went on there. Walking through the hallways, I control a teary eye thinking I am among heros or people who dedicate their lives for us.

I think of people like us folks here, we come home read Hot Air, Watch Vent and type our views here, just living the leisure life. These people are not doing that, we have it so easy. Perhaps there is a guilt on my part, seeing these people doing and have done so much and we just sitting here typing what we are typing here.

To conclude, I see liberals or hear liberals, I think of these brave men and women I seen and walked among today. They are people who by their actions and what they say, can make it where most of these people I walked among would not be there today but perhaps “elsewhere” due to the libs.

She sat down to have a chat with her liberal friend, but after she put on the sexy little devil horns and gave me that cute little smile all I heard was blah blah blah. CLICK HERE if you think…

But, I have no desire to try to understand or rationalize their irrationality or their viewpoints. I can be civil to liberals/leftist, but not to what they believe.

I am also stranded here in the People’s Republic of Taxachusetts. It is depressing seeing all the moonbats with their signs. If these useful idiots could think, they’d understand our taxes will sky rocket if Deval “Dukakis” Patrick gets elected.

I see Liberals as not only wrong on most issues, but arrogantly and dangerously foolish, so it’s difficult to stomach anything they say.

I quite agree, liberty, either that or they’re lying or they should know they’re lying when they “mistate” facts to make their case, on those extremely rare occasions they actually do try to make a case for what they want.
I know I can’t stomach it and use the mute button on my TV remote quite a lot.

E L Frederick, I got the Minnie Mouse image, too, as if MM has to appear cute and sweet so as to be sufficiently non-threatening to the other side.
Bows on the head are adorable but don’t exactly say that a lady is “arguing from a position of authority.”

Sorry, but I’m not going to be nice or civil to Liberals anytime soon–when I think of how they’ve ruined this country and hurt us and our soldiers in this war, I just get furious!

When are you going to put that into practice on your blog?

This from someone who is the perfect archetypal example of the divisive unthinkingly reflexive partisan troll.

Now *THAT* is really funny!

I totally agree with you on your post above.

Having such discourse with someone on the other end of the political spectrum in these polarized times, with grace and humor, displays the highest form of maturity and pays the greatest tribute to our democratic way of life than anything else I know. Well done role modelling.

Now if only our regressed enemies could find chatting over a cup of tea more fun than, say, chopping off one’s head over a misplaced metaphor, there might be more cause for hope. Sadly, I don’t see that happening.

But keep up the good, civilized work. And very best wishes.

What She Said.

I think it’s a healthy little reminder, in the midst of a heated election season, that you can disagree vehemently with your most extremist political opponents without ripping each other’s throats out and leaving a blood-spattered mess.

When are you going to put that into practice on your blog?

Basically the same effect has having a pre-frontal lobotomy.

… and then completely failed to articulate any policy vision?

That’s funny.

Is the truth really as simple as this: liberals just don’t have a vision?

Nice horns, where’s the tail?

Oh, you’re naughty. Okay. My turn to be naughty.
The tail (as in ass, as in donkey, as in Democrat, as in liberal) was in plain view (aka Bill). What about the obligatory pitchfork? Do you suppose it was missing because the Dark Lord (Rove) was out grinding/sharpening the tips?

In any case, if I’m giving fashion advice, I’m way the heck out of my MOS.

once again michelle, its the same old thing with liberals, they b**ch & moan about whats being done, but i have yet to hear a coherent alternative or even a better idea

I checked out the Liberal Oasis link and there is nary a mention of his participation with HotAir. I guess he would lose some face with his readers.

It looks like he put up a post about their conversation shortly after your comment:
My Attempt At Career Suicide Posted by Bill Scher at 12:18 PM.

…without tearing each other’s throats apart: here’s part of my conversation with an old lefty college friend, Bill Scher of Liberal Oasis. Extremely misguided and dead wrong on so many issues, but one of the nicest people I met at……
