Argghh!

Just got into a spat with a guy on facebook. I know, I know. . .arguing with conservatives, bad idea. These morons have got it figured out that the reason Detroit is in crappy shape is because of Democratic local government, not the fact that the US government has been center-right to right since 1980. Furthermore, they think that "every country that's ever tried liberalism has failed." How do these people have sense enough to breath?

1. repig arguing strategy

Parrot Talking Points & other lies like good little sheep, then call your facts "liberal hogwash", then declare victory, and finally run.

2. Just pour yourself a Cheerwine and breathe

And promise you'll never do that again.

3. Hope it's not a friend-friend.

Detroit is the way it is because of people like that dude. You can tell him I said that.

5. The great irony is

that the people I have the most trouble with are almost universally working-class people who have been brainwashed from infancy.

4. Liberalism did pretty well here from the '30s until the '70s

Funny how when Reagan and his ilk came to power things went to shit.

Yeah, I know things weren't great from the mid-'70s on, but that's about the time the corporatist, right-wing reaction was beginning to surge...coincidence?
