Arguing with a conservative

current song: Why am I so tired? - smashing pumpkins



Ever tried to argue with a conservative, or any one of the other equally dangerous sub-categorized zealots? You are never able to win. You can't win, it's impossible because they won't listen to you. They will hear you but they won't actually listen to you. I've been in this situation many times and eventually gave up the whole notion of even trying t carry on an intelligent conversation with one. It's not possible. They are always right. Not literally, but they always think that they are right and anxiously wait for you to finish so that they can talk. One time I was talking to one of these scary people and could really not even get a word in edgewise. I was told that our current president george w bush was actually very intelligent. That's right, the word intelligent was used , not smart, but 'intelligent'. I found it funny because not only can the man not speak proper English, he doesn't know what most of the shit that comes out of his mouth even means. He's a shit-talker. Good examples of crimes he has committed against the English language are:
  • "The great thing about America is everybody should vote."
    —Austin, Texas, Dec. 8, 2000
  • "They misunderestimated me."—Bentonville, Ark., Nov. 6, 2000
  • "Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream."—LaCrosse, Wis., Oct. 18, 2000
  • "Quotas are bad for America. It's not the way America is all about."
I'm tired so I am going to sleep now.
