I'm Proud to be Liberal and I am sick of Being Nice to Conservatives
Seriously.

I will no longer keep my calm the entire time and let rightwing fasctists call me names and question my patriotism for critisizing Bush's Gang.

Really, I have had many conversation with them and they just start yelling. Fuck them, I am going to yell back.

If they accuse me of class warfare, I'll say, hell yes it's class warfare of the top 1% against the rest of us and they are winning.

I'm sick of being nice, I'm sick of taking it. I'll push back, I'm sick of being shoved by freeper's and dittoheads.

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.

7. Scripture verses (KJ)
Cite:

Mat 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

This is the only time I am aware of that Jesus is implict on how one gets to heaven. Also this is important b/c it is 1st person and in the synpotic gospels.

This is further backed up by the bigot Paul in his epistles

Gal.6:2 "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."

However, Paul does contradict himself with Gal 6:5 - just don't tell them that.

6. Fight back
Edited on Mon Jan-17-05 04:09 PM by SuspectDevice
Government is a check and balance between classes. It is class war struggle in other words.

So yeah, fight back. Last conservative that told me I was not patriotic and liberal elitist got a broken nose when he told me not to critize Bush.
