My suggestion: Arm yourself with facts and reason

[TonyMontana]

And use your brain and your mouth.

But that might be asking for too much.

Jon Stewart is right. The inmates are running the asylum.

1. I'm not loud enough to shout over them

and no amount of reason or reasonableness can overcome the vast empty caverns above their necks and behind their mouths.

3. Absolutely right. No point in having a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

2. Wow! That was fast...Did you unrec this yourself?????

[KingOfLostSouls]

4. you can't talk

when they're holding your head into the ground with their foot


unrec'ed.

5. Suddenly OP's namesake

6. Facts and reason and a .45 are not mutually exclusive. In fact they work well together.

8. +1000

I've been arming myself with facts and reason for years....but I still have my 1911 ;)

7. I never thought I'd use the un-rec feature, but I just did.

My first un-rec ever.

9. Facts and reason do not work on the very

Freeperish and teabagger types. Even some seemingly respectable republicans will not listen to reason. They say your sources are "liberal," or they simply deny the facts. The best you can do is tell them that they can have their own opinions, but they cannot have their own facts.

10. The other side of this battle is completely immune (and oblivious) to facts and reason

They don't trust facts and reason. (The Devil created those! :o)

We need to fight them with something that can hurt them. Or at least get their attention.
