I studied mathematical and symbolic logic in school, but it's still a challenge to track these fraudulent rants. <br /><br />Thank you for the encouragement, but I must admit to using the stupid grin technique myself. Just a month ago, I drove an elderly church lady up from Sarasota to her summer home in Brevard, NC. She was excited to introduce me to her hundreds of friends there. At one party, some Dems were hyperventilating about Trump. I just grinned and sipped my Merlot. Frustrated at my silence, they attempted to engage me with direct questions. I responded, "As a guest, it's not my place to spoil the evening with partisan conversation." <br /><br />My hostess — knowing I could melt these dopes like butter — came to her senses and commanded an immediate end to political discussion. Later, they contritely invited me to an epic single malt scotch tasting. So evasion does have it's rewards.Hellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15290406.post-63391334037219953562016-08-10T15:24:11.777-04:002016-08-10T15:24:11.777-04:00Helly- this is brilliant and should be taught in e...Helly- this is brilliant and should be taught in every civics class. I would like to add one point which you touch on slightly:<br />Lefties are shameless and consequently will either grin stupidly (tacitly acknowledging you)when you cite the above points, call you a racist, or infer that you are ignorant and brainwashed. They will never debate specifically on the subject at hand but instead will try to change the focus to something irrelevant but distantly related.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811252802330204078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15290406.post-79392174150090708072016-08-10T13:43:07.001-04:002016-08-10T13:43:07.001-04:00Insult and ad hominem are the default Leftie respo...Insult and ad hominem are the default Leftie response in any discussion. rickn8orhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911803300343351338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15290406.post-65034287918266643112016-08-10T13:00:54.388-04:002016-08-10T13:00:54.388-04:00Stu, I also have a BS meter.

Their founding propositions are so broken, they always need personal assault to propel their cause.<br /><br />2. All Lefties are mentally ill. Normal people simply cannot understand the stuff they believe in the framework of a shared reality.<br /><br />3. All Lefties are spastically hypocritical. If you want to know what Lefties are really doing, just look at what they accuse Americans of doing. Works every time.<br /><br />4. All Lefties depend on double standards. Given the slightest ambiguity, they apply the "worst first" standard to their perceived enemies, and 'best first" alternatives to their comrades. <br /><br />5. All Lefties are opportunists. This comes from constantly living in conflict with others and reality itself. It makes them better fighters, which amplifies their violent tendencies. <br /><br />6. All Lefties shamelessly escalate all conflicts. Of course they love to fight for the sake of fighting, but losers crave visible success like crack. They will sacrifice all goodwill that credibility brings to get that next win. <br /><br />Applying these principals, we can predict Dems will transmogrify every ambiguous Trump utterance into an illegal and immoral action. And whenever Hillary does her nasty things, they know they have a kindred spirit in her candidacy. Hellynoreply@blogger.com
