Sports bar bouncy.

Last night I went to the bar to watch basketball. Instead, I got the full litany of RWTPs.

Place was packed, only one seat left at the bar and I made the mistake of turning to the person next to me and commenting that the game seems to be starting a bit late. There must be a Seinfeld/Curb Your Enthusiasm type descriptive term for what happened next when the fellow next to me saw the opening - gave him a centimeter, and he took over my evening.

I guess it is good practice every now and then to end up sitting next to someone that is your polar opposite in terms of ideology. Among the wonderful lines I had thrown at me (and gleefully rebutted)...

"this global warming stuff is just another case of politics and big government trying to brainwash people. I remember a few years ago when the weather around here was really cold...The government is telling the scientists what to say"

"I believe in evolution - and that we will evolve into where sperm count lowers and we have fewer babies - so carbon emissions will be reduced, and we will evolve to be able to deal with it"

"My wife and I are in therapy because she just doesn't get me.... I really think money is the most important thing and I also think that man should be the hunter/gatherer/wage earner, and my wife should be the one staying home with the kids"

"the only things that should be government-led are our country's defense - everything else should be privatized"

and that is just a small selection of where the chat went over the 2.5 hours I was there.

Oh the fun I had.....the poor beleaguered fellow didn't know what hit him as I whacked away every talking point he had and he ended up saying "hey man, you really made me think about some of these things"

But - and I guess this is the learning - when you are face to face with someone, you actually engage with facts - the internet is so different when you can just toss any old insult or throw away comment at someone. Just reinforced how important it is for people to actually talk. I really think I may have put a pinprick into his right-wing bubble that he clearly lived in his whole life.

Wonder why this DUmmy didn't post any of the pearls of wisdom he gave to this guy.  :-)

3. We actually got into a whole thing about why deregulation in general doesn't work...

by the end of the night I was using his talking points to refute his new talking points. He clearly was just regurgitating stuff he heard, with no actual thought process happening.

16. That's just what they ALL do.

They simply repeat the lies, without ever thinking about whether it's actually true. My rw brother does this. When I refute him with facts, he simply changes the subject. It's infuriating. Hats off to you for hanging in there.

5. You had yourself a true, red-blooded Amurican there!

Glad you took the time to educate him, sometimes I find it very difficult to be around them, and just don't have the patience I used to.

34. In Virginia they voted to allow guns in bars; 3 weeks later a shooting occured

in the bar down the street from me. I'm sure the repugs that voted for the law were too stupid to even make the connection.

Gee you are right DUmmy, if only the bars had remained gun free zones. We all know shootings never ever happen at gun free zones.  :whatever:

They really, really are, that stupid.

When confronted by a DUmmie in a bar that wants to talk politics just ask if it's really necessary to go through all the preliminary discussions before starting the fist fight.... :-)

I just noticed this thread. I wonder if this is the DUmmie I met.

Gee, in this part of NC, whenever a moonbat wants to discuss politics in a bar, I just say "I think that liberals should have their heads on stakes."

Ends the conversation right on the spot.

Help keep America beautiful...deface a liberal.

The Democrat and Republican parties are simply the left and right wings of the same bird of prey.

The road to freedom is paved with dead liberals.

Bouncy.  There are no conservatives in Raleigh, thus the "talking points" that are obviously made up.

But conservatives do unknowingly stop in there from time to time....they don't stay long but they do stop in.

What a lame bouncy!

It was a crowded bar. Dozens of nearby patrons overheard the conversation.

By the end of the first quarter, the TVs were turned off so no one would be distracted from the debate.

At the end of the evening, DUmpmonkey NRaleighliberal got a huge standing ovation as the repuke stormed out in disgrace.

DUmpmonnkey NRaleighliberal spent another hour drinking on the house.

A cop jumped out of the bushes and arrested the fleeing repuke for harboring hate crimes in his mind.

Sorry DUmmies, I've yet to find a liberal in a sports bar or elsewhere who can HONESTLY debate.  EVER.

As Coulter said, you take away your ability to accuse someone of being racist, sexist, homophobe, etc., you'd be sitting there sputtering like a retarded howler monkey.
