3. You go ahead and yell, and yell proudly! We've got your back!
When others label you, remind them that by nearly any definition, Jesus was a Liberal too. I've found this tends to knock them off balance as they contemplate the truth and shuts them up VERY quickly to instantly put the conversation in your terms.

Try it, it works!

I usually like to follow up with a quick plea for them to do their patriotic duty and join the military like I did when I was younger, and that by voting for Shrub they are patriotically bound to support him by helping fight the war they voted for. Their sons and daughters are welcome and encouraged to enlist as well.

When the Jesus was a liberal line doesn't shut them up, this one usually does, unless they are veterans too, but there aren't many veterans I know who support this quagmire.

Your mileage may vary.
