I morph into a sullen 16-year-old with no power, whose views are considered childish.

Because dear, that is what you ARE.

Is incredible that this incoherent babbling actually passes for liberal apologetics.

Liberals are just openly insane. Listening to them is like listening to a paranoid schizophrenic.

A few hours ago I called my younger brother to wish him well after a serious operation. We exchanged pleasantries, and I was glad to see him recovering well from the operation.

Then after talking about the NCAA tournament for a few minutes, my very liberal brother, as he usually does, brought up politics.

Did I mention my brother is a hard liberal? He just couldn't believe I didn't love King Barack and all the wonderful things he's done for the country.

Of course, I didn't share my brother's love of Dear Leader, so the conversation got pretty contentious. We went back and forth. He was convinced the middle class is disappearing because the rich don't pay enough in taxes, Obama is responsible for the "great" economy, free market capitalism doesn't work, socialist Europe is a better place to live than here, etc...the usual leftist rant.

I replied with the standard conservative mantra about too much government and an assortment of facts and statistics...the one percent pay 40% of all fed. income taxes.... many socialist European countries, like Greece, are going bankrupt....social security is a Ponzi scheme....etc.

Nothing I said made a dent in my brother. He was convinced I hadn't read enough leftist literature or watched enough leftist tv programs. I told him I'd read and seen all the leftist stuff when I was younger.

He asked me why I could turn conservative. I told him it was because, thanks to the internet, talk radio, and library research, I learned what a pile of lies liberalism is.

Mercifully we finally ended the conversation . I wished him well, and he said he hoped I got better too. I laughed at that last remark of his knowing what he meant.

I've had these same conversations with some of my equally lib sisters. The info I give them doesn't seem to affect them either. They're absolutely convinced their liberalism is right and just.

I'll keep on giving them info. But we're all getting old. I hope to subvert their children if possible. My plan is to give them information. Unlike my siblings, maybe their children will listen.

“He asked me why I could turn conservative. I told him it was because, thanks to the internet, talk radio, and library research, I learned what a pile of lies liberalism is.”

Got that issue with one of my kids. My standard answer is that I understand history, economics and context, and believe in reason, responsibility and accountability. I then tell him we will agree to until he comes to his senses.

I didn't even have to check her bio, just her last few brain droppings. Typical, angst-ridden Marxist/Atheist.

There, she grinned and drooled as tourists in fanny packs and white tennis shoes yelled mean things at a dozen of us who were demanding that votes be counted. They weren’t, thanks to the Supreme Court, and George W. Bush was sworn in

Still repeating a lie. Some day mama should grow up.

She admits that her husband is the Left of the ‘average’ Communist. She is stuck on stupid, if that is the case.

Be sure to remind any liberal mocking Cruz that there hatred is OBVIOUSLY based in anti-Latino racism.

If they have any question about that, refer them to Black Racist Congressman Bennie D-MS, about this.

If you have any money, than your husband is a LIAR. Most people who label themselves "communists" are just plain liars who refuse to live the ideology they claim to believe in.

In a fair world, they wouldn't own a pot to piss in, but I suspect you and your husband both have a fair amount of filthy capitalist lucre. You see, it's only evil when OTHER people have it.

“I’m a liberal. My husband is to the left of your average communist.”

Those words would haunt me in the dead of the night if I used them to describe myself. She might as well say she’s decided to join a satanic cult. Obviously, neither the woman nor the man are aware of the true horror of communism.

And their daughter...not indoctrinated...that’s a laugh. They don’t have reason on their side, so they have to indoctrinate. You can’t make sense if you don’t have sense.

Well, I guess the difference between me and a liberal is that I wouldn’t “not let” my kids vote however they choose. What’s she gonna do? Hold a gun on them?

Actually, my experience is that Progressive leftists have absolutely no clue about what Conservatives actually believe. All they know is the straw man stereotypes, and the charges of conservatives being racist, anarchic fascists.

Exactly right, in my experience.

Do they issue tattoos in high school now? I was in the Army, a bouncer and a bodyguard, for goodness sakes, and I have never even seriously considered getting one.

I have almost the same resume as you do, only I was Marine Corps. I was tempted once to get a bird, ball and hook. I got over it. No tattoos.

What does that look like? Is there anything further left?

Or is Communism on the edge of The Outer Limits?
