Every year around this time I perform the same ritual I've performed for years. In anticipation of family gatherings, holiday parties, and otherwise festive occasions, I comb through a year's worth of articles and factoids I've collected in Evernote or Pocket and prepare for battle. I spend hours arming myself with facts and evidence to fight back the impending and inevitable onslaught of baseless political claims sure to come my way from avid FOX News viewers and Ted Cruz fans.
Earlier this week I had started to write a post containing a few of those facts. I was going to write one of those catchy posts with a title along the lines of, "5 Arguments You Can Win at Thanksgiving." It starts out with a story about the crazy uncle we all have whose political views hover somewhere between conspiracy and insanity and tells you how to beat him into submission with a few handy facts and convenient links to great articles and infographics to back you up.
Halfway through the first or second draft, I started thinking about past gatherings and how I had never referred to those lists. In fact, more often than not most of the arguments had devolved into name calling and both parties questioning how we could be related to one another or how we had become friends. I went through all the possible counter arguments and claims I'd have to face down and rebuff. The list was getting increasingly longer.
Later that afternoon, frustrated that my days of preparation may be in vain, I walked into a place I regularly frequent and was accosted by a guy I don't know very well, but who somehow knows me....

Even many leftists admit the Dums went down in flames in large part because of 0bama. This clown is deep in denial.
“Later that afternoon, frustrated that my days of preparation may be in vain, I walked into a place I regularly frequent and was accosted by a guy I don’t know very well, but who somehow knows me.
He stood up, pointed a pudgy little finger at me and shouted, “How’s your boy Obama doing after getting creamed in that election? That’s what happens to Muslims in this country when they pull shit like Benghazi and the IRS stuff.””
That writer is delusional. . .
It’s like arguing with your tropical fish. Smile and no they got stuck with an arrogant little sack of sh## that they cant admit to.
What a tool.
The self-satisfied self-righteous arrogance practically oozes off the page.
Violins
Not bringing up politics is always an option, but to people who see the world solely through a filter of politics that is sometimes impossible. A lot more liberals have that disease than conservatives in my experience.
Liberals know so much that isn’t so.
Probably never happened.
HufPo joins the Obama “Crazy Uncle” slander.
Of that I am certain you are right.
Another case/example of the left making stuff up to advance their agenda. . .you know, like all those anti-homosexual attacks and such. . .the left can’t discuss anything without making themselves the center of attention and a victim.
Notice that the Thanksgiving meal is always hostile territory for leftists. Should tell us a lot.
It takes a real liberal prick to try to use Thanksgiving as a political tool and try to argue politics with people.
Only a liberal can be so self-centered and thoughtless.
I’d take the idiot out back and beat some sense into him.
I NEVER let a liberal/Democrat/marxist darken my door under ANY circumstance. Never.
5 arguments liberalsuse
1: Obama saved the world
2: Republicans hate everyone but big billionaires
3: Republicans want to destroy the planet
4: BUUUUUUSSSSSHHHHHH
5: You are racist
Well, I don’t blame him for not wanting to bother. After all, hollering “is not!” and “is so!” all day long has to become tiring after awhile.
I bet he sits down to pee.
I only made it through a couple of paragraphs.
What a fun-guy huh?
Glad he’s not around my Thanksgiving table-——he actually prepares with a list.
Yikes !

This tool posts crap from Daily Kos, Mother Jones, and that ridiculous website Politicus and expects the rational among us to believe it.
