Facebook exchange with tea-bagger from High School, if interested.
Please Vote Republican Tuesday November 2nd. This election is for your children and their children. Their Liberty is at stake. Please Vote. Don't take it for granted. You will make a difference.

Me:

Not gonna happen. Liberty is at stake? Bullshit.

Him (to someone else)

it starts with the Tea Party righting the Republican Party. Tossing out establishment dinosaurs who were not interested in doing what's right but rather getting along. Then the new Republican Party can begin the process of getting the government out of things it has no business being involved in. It is going to be a long process but it begins today.

Some talk of WWE Senator wannabe in CT then:

Therein lies the difference between a Conservative and a Liberal, female friend. We view things very differently. Most Conservatives I know care very deeply about the Arts. They simply disagree with Liberals regarding its funding. Suzanne, in... a Free Society, the free market should determine the success and failure of a product. If I want to view a program or go to a museum I do not need my ticket price subsidized by the Government, "my neighbors". The Government should stick to those things it was established to do. Remember, the bigger the Government, the smaller the Individual. Best wishes my friend.

Me:

I had an entire response written about the flaws in your 'logic' regarding the "free market" and the renaming of Republicans as tea-partiers Dan, but erased it.

(I thought it was just stupid to argue with him, but then he responded with:)

Good for you Fuzz. Conservatism is on the ascendancy Fuzz, be of good cheer. The Individual will not be held down, not in America. We are free. We think freely and enjoy our individualism. Let's work hard at re-introducing Free Markets and ending Crony-Capitalism. The day of the bail-out needs to be thrown on the trash heap of failed ideas. Best Wishes

Me:

Dude (erased his real name), you sound like a hyperbole spouting machine. There is nothing behind those words, just a bunch of pablum that means nothing, just like the candidates you seem to support.

Strict Constitutionalists who want to get rid of 3 or 4 amendments and add a couple more? Ridiculous.

Small government conservatives who want to control womens bodies? Also ridiculous.

The last President got rid of Habeous Corpus, spied on citizens and approved 'sneak and peak' warrants. I didn't see Republicans screaming about that. These are pretty big attacks on 'Liberty'.

I just can't take conservatives seriously when they only get this upset when a black man becomes president, especially since this president has not proposed any restriction regarding your constitutional rights, and even cut taxes.

Him, the punch line and isn't this typical?

You sound very bitter Fuzz. Wish you well.

6. He may identify as Repuke but he's mainly Libertarian
That's just the typical free-market anarchist, social Darwinist nonsense regurgitated yet again. I bet he's a big fan of Rand Paul.
