Quote Teddy Roosevelt: "A gentleman told me recently
that he doubted I would vote for the Angel Gabriel if found at the head of the
Democratic Party, to which I responded that the Angel Gabriel would never be
found in such company. Speaking quite dispassionately, and simply as a
historian, the Democrats can be trusted invariably to walk in the darkness even
when to walk in the light would be manifestly to their advantage."

Ask your liberal neighbor to explain the logic of Obama's
"stimulus" pork program. Say, "So let me get this right, the
government takes money from taxpayers to put more workers on the government
payroll that is paid for by taxpayers, and this helps the economy how
exactly?" When he goes on to give a vague (and probably inaccurate)
Keynesian explanation, you can cut him off with, "By that explanation,
thieves are good for the economy, too— they help spread the wealth around; but
I'll stick with the old-fashioned idea that we don't need the government to
spread the wealth around, we can do that ourselves with our own free-market
choices that support real free-market jobs and independent charities. What's
the beef you liberals have with freedom anyway?"

When your liberal neighbors knock excitedly on your door to
show you ultrasound pictures of the baby they're expecting, look mortified and
then say, "But surely, it's not yet a child, it's still a choice."
No. 354 of 365
Start a "Take a Liberal to Lunch" program to
provide counseling for liberals whose high hopes for hope 'n' change are
running out.
No. 353 of 365
Next time a liberal upbraids you for "maintaining
narrow, traditional moral values" remind him that "tradition" is
simply the inherited wisdom of our ancestors, which keeps us from making moral
fools of ourselves, and anyway, which of these traditional moral values would
he flat-out like to do away with: compassion, fidelity, honesty, restraint,
deference, courage, chivalry, self-denial... (Actually, all of them, but he
won't be able to say that.)

Even an agnostic liberal might be a little taken aback to
learn that Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky, a book that inspired the likes
of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, is dedicated to "the first radical
known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively
that he at least won his own kingdom— Lucifer." Point out that Alinsky was
at least one radical who knew where liberalism led.

Show them the neglected conservative flick The Wild Geese
with Roger Moore, Richard Burton, and Richard Harris. A collection of truly
free-market soldiers (mercenaries) blow the hell out of Communist, Cuban-aided
Africans, to rescue a democratic African leader. True, the bad guy is a wealthy
investor, as your liberal friend will undoubtedly point out to you, but you can
say, "Yeah, you're right; he reminds me of George Soros."
No. 337 of 365
Remind a liberal that California used to be a reliable
Republican state. It voted Republican in every presidential election from 1952
to 1992 with only one exception (1964). Remind a liberal further that in those
days, California was renowned for having some of the most right-wing voting
districts in the country (in Southern California's Orange County); and remind
the liberal even further that in those days California was equally renowned for
its prosperity. Since 1992, the state has been overwhelmingly Democrat, and —
while flooded with illegal immigrants — native Californians have been fleeing
to other states, and the economy has gone down the toilet. Is that all just a
coincidence?
No. 336 of 365
Force them to sit down and watch the movie Patton. Then ask
them just how well we'd have done in World War II with an army led by men like
Barack ("We could learn from the Nazis' outreach to Islam") Obama,
draft-dodging Bill Clinton, Al ("All these explosions must be bad for the
environment") Gore, Jimmy ("America has to get over her inordinate
fear of National Socialism") Carter...

Quote Richard Lamm, former Democratic Governor of Colorado:
"Christmas is a time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay
for it. Deficits are when adults tell the government what they want and their
kids pay for it."
No. 327 of 365
When the holidays roll around, always say: "Merry
Christmas," never "Happy Holidays." Not only do 70 percent of
Americans prefer it—according to Rasmussen polls—but you are much more likely
to offend a liberal. While 88 percent of Republican voters prefer "Merry
Christmas," only 57 percent of Democrats do.
No. 326 of 365
Pick a fight with a liberal on: PEAK OIL.
"Peak oil"—the idea that we've reached the peak of oil production and that it's about to run out—is an S & M fantasy scenario designed by liberals to justify their fetish for higher taxation, greater government control, more regulation, and the mass switchover to expensive, pointless energy sources that don't work, such as wind and solar power. As Dennis Miller says: "Relax. We'll replace oil when we need to. American ingenuity will kick in and the next great fortune will be made. It's not pretty but it is historically accurate. We need to run out of oil first. That's why I drive an SUV—so we run out of it more quickly. I consider myself to be at the vanguard of the environmental movement and I think individuals who insist on driving hybrids are just prolonging our dilemma and I think that's just selfish..."

Defend Israel. Show them pictures of Gaza's ritzy new
shopping mall; quote the Japanese journalist who said: "Gaza and the West
Bank are the only places in the world where I see refugees drive
Mercedes;" remind them that life expectancy for Gaza Arabs—seventy-two
years—is nearly five years higher than the world average, with a higher
literacy rate than Turkey's. Then explain: "And it's ALL the result of
years and years of EVIL ISRAELI OPPRESSION!"
No. 324 of 365
Conservative history: Quote "liberal fascist"
Woodrow Wilson as an early example of America-hating, One World Government
addiction. Asked whether the League of Nations might compromise American
sovereignty, he replied that he looked forward to the day "when men would
be just as eager partisans of the sovereignty of mankind as they were now of
their own national sovereignty."
No. 321 of 365
Pick a fight with a liberal on: "PEACE ACTIVISTS."
Oh, yeah right, like the "peace activists" on the "peace convoy" bringing aid to the people of Gaza in May 2010? The ones who engaged in the traditional "peace activist" activity before they set sail from Turkey of preparing suicide videos; the ones who armed themselves with iron bars, knives, and guns, and tried to beat up, slice open, and shoot the brutal Israeli soldiers who boarded their ships armed with paintball guns. So what you're saying, right, is that "peace" is the new "war"?
No. 320 of 365
Reclaim rock for conservatism: Speculate that the Rolling
Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" was almost certainly an
attempt by London School of Economics-educated Mick Jagger to convey to his
youthful audience two of the bedrock concepts of conservatism: life is unfair;
don't expect the state to bail you out.
