The left wing nut in the family went somewhere else, thank you, but I noticed she stole some more money out of her mother’s account before she left.

MSNBC are so deep in the tank for Obama that they believe this is an example of even-handed journalism.

They are off their heads.

Even in my politically-divided family, my own often left-leaning parents personally are against talking politics at the Thanksgiving Dinner Table, and honestly, I am thankful for that. I am not interested in the arguments at this time of year, they should be saved for another day.

Here all you need to respond with:

“All of this cannot be paid for. It will collapse.

I will be prepared to be self-sufficient. You will be looking for a scrap of bread that will cost $40.00 a slice.

I will be fed and protected. You will starve and be at the mercy of the hoard.

I will be hidden. You will not be able to find me for help, and I wont come looking to rescue you.

Happy Thanksgiving, you f$cking idiot.”

We have the guns that tend to settle any argument, they don’t. Salon’s readers are brainless, gutless, ball-less and unarmed. It’s not really a fair fight!

Well said!

Please note: you will have a hoard (of food), they will be at the mercy of the horde (of zombies).

When their utopia bursts in a couple of years they will be begging for help.

Guess what, some of us won’t be there.

Good luck with all that.

Rush was right, liberalism is a disease.

There will be two at our table one is my 92 year old father who has voted Dem his entire life even though he’s as conservative as I am and my 68 year old sister who’s sole reason is abortion. Both are retired federal employee’s,

This is the second one of these I read this morning.

While marginally more intelligently written than the MSLSD one, it still uses infantile reasoning to formulate its arguments.

Is this a reprint of the MSNBC staff talking points for Thanksgiving?

Perhaps they are feeling insecure that their fellow travellers don’t really have any arguments that make sense.

I wonder why they even go through the motions, as Thanksgiving and Christmas are forbidden in the Communist Utopia.

Sounds like Alex will be serving up a lot of straw dogs for Thanksgiving this year.

I know what I believe and certainly don't need anyone or organization giving me talking points on what to say to people with whom I disagree. If you have to go to a website to get a list of things to say to someone you're supposed to disagree with, that in itself is a statement on ignorance.

I simply can't believe people have allowed themselves to sink to such a low level that someone else has to tell them how to think, analyze, evaluate and come to a conclusion and it cannot be done by one's own individual effort. How sad.

Even more tragic is the percentage of people who would not be able to understand what was just written in the above paragraphs.

I approach a debate with leftists (yes even family members) the same way Phil Mickelson approaches a golf match with a 17 handicap.

They simply lack the goods to compete.
