How to win an argument with a Republican? It’s very simple actually. Just keep in mind that Republicans lie, this is what they do. Most of what they say are lies. They justify this behavior by claiming to be patriotic but in reality it is just selfish and ignorant and at the core of all of this is them simply not wanting to ever pay higher taxes. So when engaged in a conversation with one, stare at the lips and the words emanating from their mouths and remind yourself that those words are lies and when said Republican is done talking just say “not true” and you will have won. I am reminded of the old adage of “how do you know when a drug addict is lying?, their lips are moving”. Republicans have lied for year to get their point across and they are no different then drug addicts, they say whatever they want in an effort to try and get what they want. It is our job to constantly remind them that we are aware of their lies. And we are not talking about all Republicans. Like anything there are good and bad, neo-con bad, center right good. Not all are bad.

Secondly, pundits like Monica Crowley, Ann Coutler, Bill O’Reilly and the like should simply be looked at as funny. That’s it. If you let these people get you riled up then they have won. We, and when I say “we” I am not referring to liberals or Democrats as I do not consider myself one of them either but as normal level headed right thinking people, need to remind them that they are funny and laugh. Seriously people, can you think of anyone more hysterical then Glenn Beck? Ann Coulter? I mean Ann Coulter attacking the 9/11 widows is no different then Gilbert Gottfried making jokes about 9/11 right after the attacks and we laughed at his jokes. The only difference is that we forgot that she is also a comedian and not to take her seriously. Laugh people, laugh at them and you will win. It’s that simple. Glenn Beck? How is it that Comedy Central is not begging him to move his show to their network?

Every time we have a serious discussion about Glenn Beck or Bill O’Riley, every time we say they should be removed from the airwaves, every time the left goes nuts and wishes death to any of these people, they give credence, strength and power to their position and they have won. But they are simply entertainers, so find a way to be entertained by them and be happy we live in a country where free speech no matter how ludicrous it can get is still allowed. The left loose the argument every time they forget this concept and suggest that certain radio hosts or TV hosts or writers should be banned or taken off the air. That type of behavior is more repugnant then that of those they are trying to vilify. Learn to laugh and then you will win. Fight them and get angry and you will loose.
