5. Here's some food for thought:
http://www.urban75.com/Mag/argument.html

Dirty tricks. You have a choice:

1. Ignore them;

2. Use them against them;

3. Identify their dirty tricks and call them out.

In fact I've been thinking of making my own list of dirty tricks that neo-cons use, based on this one, and then pointing to it every time I run across one.}(

I'm also toying with the idea of being proactive with number 2. The only thing stopping me is the part of me that says I shouldn't stoop to their level.

But knowledge is power!

7. I usually just unzip my pants and start peeing.
They don't understand intellectual arguments or common sense. But if you skip all that and just mark your territory, they get the idea.

9. just give him or her a copy of this letter to the editor . . .
from the Oregonian . . . explain that you're not a liberal, but a "true conservative" . . . as opposed to the BushCo neocons who pretendt to be conservative but are far from it . . .

Credo of a conservative
02/26/04
Mark Oberzil

I am a conservative. I believe in staying solvent and out of debt.

I am a conservative. I believe in keeping my nose out of other people's business, their nations and their bedrooms.

I am a conservative. I believe in conserving our assets and our resources -- our air, our land, our water. Accordingly, I don't support or engage in wastefulness, inefficiency or lavish excesses.

I am a conservative. I think an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Therefore I support appropriate government spending on such things as infrastructure, schools, social welfare and crime prevention, because in the long run it's cheaper and more effective.

I am a conservative. I don't sign on to risky schemes. I think if you give Bob a dollar, it helps Bob, but it may not necessarily help Oscar, Fred or Maria.

I am a conservative. If I am attacked, I respond appropriately and conservatively. I do not swat mosquitoes with dynamite.

I am a conservative. I don't deal falsely or prematurely with facts.

I am a conservative. I understand the purposes of various institutions. It is the job of government to govern, the job of religion to address spiritual needs, and the job of business to secure profits by producing needed goods and services. I do not confuse these institutions.

I am a conservative. I understand my position in the world and that my opinions are not the only valid ones.

I do not have an exclusive claim on what is right, good or patriotic, and those who disagree with me are not automatically evil traitors.

What's really weird, though, is that I've always thought these things, but now everyone calls me a "liberal"!

note to mods . . . as a letter to the editor, this is actually one big paragraph broken up for readability . . .

11. If they want to label me a liberal, then I don't mind.
Here in the Houston area we see paid advertisements of republican guys running for office and they always say how they will "stop the liberals in Washington" and they make liberals out to be a bad word. I hope Houstonians are smarter than that than to believe this bullshit propaganda.
