I'm done trying to "reason" with rightys...I'm freeking done...

[Boxerfan]

There is a repeating pattern here.Education is not working for the remaining B*sh supporters.I have tried lord knows I have tried...

Republicans can be well aware of all the things we consider evil(well almost all-9/11?)that Republicans have foisted on us. The Fully aware Iraq was due to the oil bourse. Fully aware the G3 report being pulled has allowed Enron style accounting to infect the treasury-FULLY AWARE THERE ARE ALTERNATIVE COURSES TO TAKE!.

They know about bio fuels & other renewabal projects yet do nothing that would put Americans to work. They prefer thier Americans subservient & starving!.
One caller on C-span WJ this morning was a the winner. He was calling in regards to the estate tax,was due to inherit over 100 MILLION dollars & was bitching about how it would hurt him so. Then he went on to say us poor people should know our place because the rich are better than you or I are!.....Someone should get the transcript(I tape it but have not reviewed it).
The other last straw was a pellet gun hobby board I belong to. I discovered the "off topic" forums there & had a hillarious weekend swatting Republicans. I posted a free pellet gun ( a custom parts gun I had built from spares) for anyone who could answer one simple question. "Name one thing GW bush has done that has HELPED the average working American". Not one even got close & it generated a lot of debate. I'd say 30% of the righty's on that board have seen the light but there are the ex-jarheads & such that just won't budge. I had fun smacking down falacies almost every post.No one won obviously but I did offer to donate so a members nephew could learn target practice-Don't scoff,great hobby if safety is tought from day 1.

This morning I log in to fing they had been picking on a young boy who is a member of the forum & has been for a while. It is common knowledge he is a minor(although they did allow him to post in the off topic forum). Well apparently some brave asshole decided to call him Gay & fuck with his head. The kid didn't respond well-Predictably- & even posted if he killed himself no one would give a fuck!...
GOD DAMN MAGGOT RIDDEN MOTHERFUCKING ASSHATS!!@!@@!@@@!!@@@@@!!!!!
I'm fucking done with Republicans....I'm just gonna try & keep from getting arrested next time I "talk" to one....

1. Your brain will thank you for it. n/t

[Warpy]

2. Call them unchrstian and walk away

That is the one thing that drives them nuttier than any other.

They have no answer to it. They know it's true.

[deFaultLine]

7. Truly mind-boggling

It's unreal how little they know about the Bible, I never knew how much I knew until the Da Vinci Code came out.

Drives them nuts when I quote it and their best comeback is that even the Devil can quote scripture when it suits him.

If that's true, then a lot of Satanic things are being preached from the pulpits every Sunday morning.

9. "even the Devil can quote scripture when it suits him"

You should look back at them and say "That's exactly the point that I'm trying to make..."

[deFaultLine]

10. Problem is...

they can't quote scripture 90% of the time. Wouldn't know the beatitudes from the begats...

[SharonAnn]

8. Or laugh at them, saying "I can't believe you still (fill in the blank) "

[deFaultLine]

3. My Sentiments too...

I've had it with playing nice, especially with people that think they are better than me because their daddys and grand-daddys were nothing more than a bunch of ruthless sobs. Rich people got that way not because they are smarter or more moral/ They mostly got that way because they were willing to be ruthless and uncaring about consequences to other humans.

Jesus threw these types out in a fit of rage...I think I'll follow his example.

5. Tell Them They are Fooling Themselves

that they aren't Christians because their actions and beliefs contradict Christ Himself, and walk away.

6. Don't let them get to you like this -- avoid them!

No activity is more of a time waster than trying to reach the extreme far right. There's probably somewhere in the range of 23-29% in this country who will NEVER, EVER face reality, even if it runs up and bites them in the ass repeatedly. They'll just blame Clinton.

As for that boy, he's learning what conservatives are like. Hopefully it'll click with him that they operate just like bullies at school do and he'll move on with maturity.

Welcome to DU!

11. Just say: "Oh! you are one of the 22 percenters!"

Or: If you feel you must believe that.

And: It does not require your belief to be true.

12. Reason is never going to work on the remaining Bush supporters.

The only thing that will sway them is some sort of personal hardship. They need to suffer a tremendous loss that is undeniably Bush's fault. Like a 2 X 4 to the side of the head it's the only way to get them to wake up.

13. I was having fun & not taking anything seriously but attacking that kid

& then the rest piling on....Was the single most disgusting thing I've personally witnessed in a while on a message board.

These guys (for the most part) are well off adults. The guns we collect are very expensive & graded like fine art. I expected more from this bunch but was I ever wrong....
