How to Talk to a Liberal
Historically, the best way to convert liberals is to have them move out of their parents' home, get a job, and start
paying taxes. But if this doesn't work, you might have to actually argue with a liberal. This is not for the faint of
heart. It is important to remember that when arguing with liberals, you are always within inches of the "Arab street."
Liberals traffic in shouting and demagogy. In a public setting, they will work themselves into a dervish-like trance
and start incanting inanities: "BUSH LIED, KIDS DIED!" "RACIST!" "FASCIST!" "FIRE RUMSFELD!"
"HALLIBURTON!" Fortunately, the street performers usually punch themselves out eventually and are taken back
to their parents' house.
Also resembling the Arab street, liberals are chock-full of conspiracy theories. They invoke weird personal
obsessions like a conversational deus ex machina to trump all facts. You think you're talking about the war in Iraq
and suddenly you start getting a disquisition on Nixon, oil, the neoconservatives, Vietnam (Tom Hayden discusses
gang violence in Los Angeles as it relates to Vietnam), or whether Bill O'Reilly's former show, Inside Edition, won
the Peabody or the Peanuckle Award. This is because liberals, as opposed to sentient creatures, have a finite
number of memorized talking points, which they periodically try to shoehorn into unrelated events, such as when
Nancy Pelosi opposed the first Gulf war in 1991 on the grounds that it would cause environmental damage in
Kuwait. Oddly enough, about half of liberal conspiracy theories involve the Jews. So be prepared for that.
A major impediment to arguing with liberals is: They refuse to argue. Liberals' idea of a battle of wits is to say "Bush
lied!" in front of adoring college audiences and be wildly applauded for their courage. They're like hack road comics
who coax a cheap round of applause out of audiences by declaring, "I just quit smoking!" or "My wife just had a
baby!" Without a Roman Coliseum-style audience to give them standing ovations for every idiotic utterance, you get
the liberal disappearing act.
At a loss whenever anyone argues back, liberals have a number of stratagems to prevent conservatives from
talking. They shout conservatives down; unplug reporters' microphones; edit conservatives' answers in pre-taped
TV shows (Hardball) to make the conservative look like a monkey; burn student newspapers; and heckle
conservative speakers. When John Stossel went to Brown University for a report on "date rape," he was mobbed
by angry protesters chanting, "Rape is not TV hype!" - and then his microphone cord was unplugged by an angry
student. College dropout Michael Moore put a microphone in Republican Congressman Mark Kennedy's face and
asked for his help in getting more members of Congress to send their own family members to fight the war on
terror. Kennedy replied that he would love to and that he already had two nephews in the military, one on his way to
Afghanistan. Moore's documentary shows Kennedy's image - but cuts his answer from the film.
There is probably no conservative student newspaper in the country that has not been trashed or burned by
liberals. Meanwhile, there is no known instance of College Republicans burning or trashing liberal student
newspapers. To the contrary, conservatives get a kick out of watching liberals try to thrash their way to a coherent
argument ("BUSH LIED, KIDS DIED!"). In fact, if it weren't for conservatives with a taste for schadenfreude, literally
no one would be listening to Air America - assuming it's still on the air by the time this book hits the stores.
Life was much better for liberals when there were only three TV stations airing precious little news. Back in the pre-
cable news days, public political debate consisted exclusively of liberal Democrats debating radical Democrats.
Now that conservatives are physically present on cable news, liberals are terrified they might have to respond to a
conservative point, so liberals filibuster and interrupt, hoping to never hear it. Turn on your TV right now and you'll
see a liberal - probably Julian Epstein - trying to filibuster his way out of having to respond to a conservative.
If you can somehow force a liberal into a point-counterpoint argument, his retorts will bear no relation to what you
said - unless you were, in fact, talking about your looks, your age, your weight, your personal obsessions, or
whether you are a fascist. In the famous liberal two-step, they leap from one idiotic point to the next, so you can
never nail them. It's like arguing with someone with Attention Deficit Disorder.
Inasmuch as liberals can only win arguments when no one is allowed to argue back, they enjoy creating fictional
worlds in movies and on TV where liberals finally get to win. Remember the Andy Hardy movies? Mickey Rooney
and Judy Garland would be headed for disaster - until Andy shouted out, "I tell you what! Let's put on a play!" With
liberals, it's "We're losing on the facts! Let's make a movie!"
In movies, liberals are invariably morally and intellectually superior. They are also good-looking, witty,
compassionate, and always right - basically Bob Byrd, Jerry Nadler, Al Franken, and Hillary Clinton rolled into one
adorable bunch. Only in Hollywood is Robert Redford considered a dead ringer for Bob Woodward, Emma
Thompson for Hillary Clinton, Dustin Hoffman for Carl Bernstein, and Andy Garcia for Al Franken. Typically,
Republicans are played by hard-boiled B-list types whose only other roles are as cruel high school football coaches
or rogue army drill instructors. Reflect on the fact that Anthony Hopkins played both Nixon and Hannibal Lecter.
The only policemen in the universe who are not aware that "cop-killer bullets" have never killed a cop are the ones
on Law & Order. Only in liberal fantasy movies like Coming Home is a patriotic hawk the impotent klutz who shoots
himself in the foot, and the liberal dove the sexually potent one. Only in Hollywood could a sitcom that parodies a
U.S. president and is titled There's My Bush be about George Bush rather than Bill Clinton. (The show was
unceremoniously and quietly canceled because of low ratings.) In movies, we always learn that there is NO
REASON, EVER, to fight a war. Unless the Earth is invaded by aliens from outer space with huge scary spaceships
and death rays and men of all races and nationalities can unite against a common enemy - like in Independence
Day. So if the Earth is ever invaded by hostile aliens from outer space, you won't have to ask liberals twice to take
up arms in defense of Planet Earth.
It was inevitable, given what liberals value, that on the popular sitcom Friends beautiful actresses would be
depicted hyperventilating over George Stephanopoulos's fictional manhood when he drops his fictional towel. Only
in the bizarro world of Hollywood can such a harmless little chap as George exude massive sexual potency. On
HGTV, the female host of What Not to Wear leeringly jokes about seeing Bill Clinton in a Speedo. In real life,
Monica Lewinsky can be heard on tape describing Clinton's executive branch thus: "Think of a thumb." No wonder
liberals prefer the world of make-believe.
In addition to all Oliver Stone movies and all Michael Moore documentaries (Oliver Stone Without the Talent!), an
extremely abbreviated list of liberal fantasy movies includes:
The Day After Tomorrow (not to be confused with Next Friday, starring Ice Cube) - message: LIBERALS ARE
RIGHT ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING! The hyper-silly disaster epic is based on a book coauthored by UFO/ black-
helicopter/the-CIA-is-beaming-microwaves-into-my-teeth-fillings guru and late-night AM radio maven Art Bell.
The Cider House Rules - message: LIBERALS ARE RIGHT ABOUT ABORTION! Kindly small-town abortionist
(Michael Caine) just wants to help unwed pregnant girls. Disaster strikes when it turns out the young lad taking over
Caine s practice (Tobey Maguire) is opposed to abortion because it's "wrong." The lad soon learns the error of his
ways after a black teenaged girl from a family of apple pickers is raped and impregnated by her own father and
needs an abortion. (You can't remind people too often that most women having abortions were raped by their own
fathers.) This film was a veritable ode to moral relativism and the hideous notion that there are no rules save the
ones we make up ourselves as we go along. Shockingly, it only won a single Oscar.
The American President - message: DEMOCRATS WILL VOTE THEIR CONSCIENCES EVEN IF IT HURTS
THEM POLITICALLY AND ALL REPUBLICANS EVER DO is CALL PEOPLE NAMES. In this movie, Michael
Douglas plays Bill Clinton as Clinton would like to be - handsome, thin, courageous, liberal, and widowed. The
president's top Republican adversary goes on national TV and calls the president's girlfriend a "whore." So it's a
plausible story.
Dave - message: LIBERALS ARE RIGHT ABOUT FEDERAL SPENDING ON THE HOMELESS! Only the president
can put an end to homelessness, and he's got to cut 1500 million in pork from the discretionary budget to do so. He
finds the money by poring over the entire federal budget (during an "all-nighter") with the help of his tax guy, played
by Charles Grodin. (Of course, to do that, the president would need a line-item veto. Now which party, do you
suppose, supports a line-item veto and which opposes it?)
Of the dozens and dozens of nonfiction books to come out about the Clinton presidency, only one was made into a
movie: The Hunting of the President, by fanatical Clinton apologists Joe Conason and Gene Lyons. (Message:
LIBERALS WERE RIGHT ABOUT CLINTON, EVEN IF THERE ARE ONLY TWO LIBERALS LEFT DEFENDING
HIM!) The intriguing plotline is this: A lot of mean people tried to bring down a great president.
Leaving aside which account most closely resembles the truth, which one of these sounds like a better movie plot:
Movie Plot A: Through the freak accident of a third-party candidacy, a lying, horndog Jimmy Swaggart type
somehow ends up as president of the United States. As his Eva Peron-style wife tries to socialize all industry, the
president gallivants with Hollywood starlets, has repeated affairs, accepts illegal campaign donations from foreign
enemies, and uses the vast powers of the federal government to frighten and intimidate the people who get in his
way. Some end up dead, some have their secret FBI files pored over by a former bar bouncer, some are audited by
the IRS. He is finally brought down when he ejaculates on an intern's dress and lies about it under oath - and it
turns out the intern has kept the dress!
Movie Plot B: For no reason whatsoever, a few oddball private citizens develop a deep personal antipathy for a
"Third Way," moderate Democratic president.
Amazingly, Hollywood actually made a movie, Bob Roberts, in which the slick, cosmetic tricks of the sophisticated
right-wing political machine hoodwink the American people. (So that's why liberals are losing all the arguments in
real life!)
Since cable news has begun forcing liberals to confront opposing points of view in real life rather than movie scripts
where the Republicans' only argument is to call the president's girlfriend a "whore," liberals have been trying to drop
emotionalism as their main argument. Their new posture is mock hardheaded realism. Now they begin sentences
with phrases like, "The fact of the matter is," or "Experts say" - followed by comically false assertions. Liberals flex
their spindly little muscles and announce that everything that used to make them cry - gun ownership, racial
profiling, missile defense, school vouchers, torturing terror suspects - simply "doesn't work." The fact is, it doesn't
work, this is according to several studies, and no, you can't see them, why would you ask?
After nineteen nearly identical-looking Muslim men hijacked four airplanes and murdered 3,000 Americans, people
weren't in much of a mood for liberal preachiness about racial profiling. So instead of crying and trying to make
Americans feel guilty, liberals pretended to be hardheaded realists. Asked if there was anything wrong with ethnic
profiling at airports after 9/11, Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz said, "Yes, it doesn't work." Other, better
ideas, he said, were face-recognition technology and national ID cards. These would work great - if only we knew
who the terrorists were. But if we knew who the terrorists were, the only plane they'd be boarding would be headed
to Guantanamo and we wouldn't need to search anyone at all.
On CNN, Juliette Kayyem, from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, assured viewers that "no
one is disagreeing" with extra scrutiny for potential terrorists. But profiling, she said, "won't work." It wouldn't work,
allegedly, because al Qaeda "exists in places from Algeria to Zimbabwe." True, but since we're in America, wouldn't
it be a big help if we could screen out most of the Americans? Liberals think "it doesn't work" has such a nice ring to
it that the patent absurdity of what they're saying should not detract from their argument.
After Senator Teddy Kennedy tried to block federal funding for the government's program to fingerprint and
photograph people entering the country from twenty-five Muslim nations, his sleazy back-door maneuver was
defended on Fox News Channel's O'Reilly Factor by Sarah Eltantawi of the objective, nonpartisan, well-groomed
Muslim Public Affairs Council. Eltantawi said it was a "huge mischaracterization" to think she was going to complain
about racial profiling. "That's not the argument I'm here to make." To the contrary, her objection - and Kennedy's
objection - was that fingerprinting immigrants from terrorist-producing countries is "completely inefficient." And we
all know Teddy Kennedy cannot abide inefficiency!
Elizabeth Rindskopf Parker - former legal counsel to the CIA, the National Security Agency, and the State
Department - has been quoted as saying, "We don't use torture because it doesn't work." (And it only took a little
arm-twisting to get her to say that.) Torturing randomly chosen
people on the off chance that they might be up to something - as was routinely done in liberals' favorite country, the
USSR - clearly doesn't work. Torturing the guy you know for a fact is withholding information actually works quite
well. There may be good and sufficient moral reasons for not torturing people for information, but efficacy is not
among them.
After decades of womanly crying about guns, liberals finally admitted their earlier hysteria had been much ado
about nothing. The real problem with guns was that they don't make people any safer. Fox News Channel's Alan
Colmes said to Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America, "Let's talk about some hard and cold facts, Larry. The fact of
the matter is, Larry" - there's that "the fact of the matter is" qualifier I promised you - "that the odds that a home will
be the scene of a homicide are much greater if there's a gun in the home." Soccer moms across America shot
straight up and said, I did not know that! The study behind this flagrantly dishonest "cold hard fact" assumed that
anyone killed by a gun in the vicinity of a home where anyone owned a gun was killed by "a gun in the home." The
specious study merely attests to the fact that people who live in high-crime neighborhoods tend to own guns. As the
inestimable economist John Lott says, on that theory of causation, hospitals must cause people to die, because lots
of people die after being admitted to a hospital.
It's as if liberals held focus groups on how to best present their ridiculous ideas and were told, Passion you've got.
But what respondents say you lack is intellection, thinking things through, understanding elementary human nature,
and a basic awareness of what people are like. If conservatives have not yet persuaded liberals to give up on
socialism and treason, we have at least gotten them to fake linear thinking.
Liberals' other new hobby is to call people "liars." After years of defending Clinton, they love the piquant irony of
calling Bush a "liar." Bush said he was a "reformer with results" - LIAR! For fifty years liberals have called
Republicans every name in the book - idiots, fascists, anti-Semites, racists, crooks, Constitution shredders, and
masterminds of Salvadoran death squads. Only recently have they added the epithet "liar." Even noted ethicist Al
Franken has switched from calling conservatives "big fat idiots" to calling them "liars." This is virgin territory for
Democrats - they never before viewed lying as a negative. Their last president, Bill Clinton, was called "an
unusually good liar" by a senator in his own party, and their last vice president, Al Gore, couldn't say "pass the salt"
without claiming to have invented salt. Having only recently discovered the intriguing new concept of "lies," the
Democrats are having a jolly old time calling Bush a liar. But they can't quite grasp the concept of a lie as connoting
something that is intentionally untrue - or untrue at all.
About the time Baghdad was erupting in celebrations after receiving the news that Uday and Qusay were dead,
liberals were still hopping mad that in January 2003 President Bush uttered the indisputably true fact that British
intelligence believed Saddam Hussein had tried to acquire uranium from Africa. That was, and still is, believed by
British intelligence. It also was, and still is, the conclusion in our own National Intelligence Estimate. The CIA,
however, discounts this piece of intelligence. The CIA did such a bang-up job predicting 9/11, the Democrats have
decided to put all their faith in it. They believe the nation must not act until absolutely every agency and every
American is convinced we are about to be nuked. (Would that they had such strict standards for worrying about
nuclear power plants at home!)
Sharing a chummy laugh about Republicans on Meet the Press, NBC's Tim Russert asked Senator Joe Biden what
the Republicans would have done if a Democratic president had uttered sixteen mistaken words about national
security in a State of the Union speech. Senator Biden said, "This is going to be counterintuitive for Biden to show
his Irish instinct to restrain myself. You know the answer, I know the answer, the whole world knows the answer.
They would have ripped his skin off." At least Bush put it in his own words - if you know what I mean. (Perhaps
Biden is annoyed that Bush merely cited the head of the British Labor Party rather than plagiarized him.) Back to
Russert's challenge, I shall dispense with Clinton's most renowned lies. (Every Democrat commits adultery and lies
about it - fine, they've convinced me.) Clinton also lied every time he said "God bless America," and I don't recall
any Republican ever ripping his skin off about that.
But how about a lie in a major national speech slandering your own country? In Clintons acceptance speech at the
1996 Democratic National Convention, he said, "We still have too many Americans who give in to their fears of
those who are different from them. Not so long ago, swastikas were painted on the doors of some African-American
members of our Special Forces at Fort Bragg. Folks, for those of you who don't know what they do, the Special
Forces are just what the name says; they are special forces. If I walk off this stage tonight and call them on the
telephone and tell them to go halfway around the world and risk their lives for you and be there by tomorrow at
noon, they will do it. They do not deserve to have swastikas on their doors."
Clinton was referring to an alleged act of racism in which the prime suspect was one of the alleged victims - a black
soldier known for filing repeated complaints of racism. The fact that the leading suspect in an apparently racist
incident was himself black had already been widely reported in the press. The soldier, not a member of the Special
Forces, by the way, was later discharged. And yet Clinton lied about the swastika episode in speech after speech -
including his speech at the Democratic National Convention - publicly citing a phony hate crime in order to accuse
white Special Forces members of racism. (And he used a lot more than sixteen words to do it.)
Democrats didn't mind a president telling lies in order to defame his own country. They reserve their outrage for a
president who defames the name of an honorable statesman like Saddam Hussein. (Note to the Democrats: Just
because you defended Bill Clinton doesn't mean you have to defend every government official credibly accused of
rape.) How dare Bush suggest Saddam was seeking uranium from Africa on the flimsy evidence of: the findings of
British intelligence, the findings of our own NIE, the fact that Israel blew up Saddam's last nuclear reactor in 1981,
and the fact that we learned about Saddam's reconstitution of his nuke program only in 1996, when his son-in-law
briefly defected to Jordan. The Mr. Magoos from the UN Weapons Inspection Team had missed this fact while
scouring the country for five years after Gulf War I. Apparently it's okay to get the facts wrong, but only in the
service of slandering America - the country we're supposed to believe liberals love.
Most of this book will explain how to argue with liberals by example, not exegesis. But there are some useful
pointers. Here are ten simple rules to keep in mind.
First, don't surrender out of the gate. This is a highly controversial approach among Republican politicians,
obviously - otherwise we wouldn't already have a bipartisan consensus for the proposition that you should send half
of what you earn to the government. Liberals always want to shame Republicans into making core concessions
before the debate begins. You raise taxes and then we'll discuss cutting spending. You admit the war in Iraq was a
failure and then we'll argue about how to get out of it. You give us abortion on demand, then we'll discuss parental
notification. Never has any good come out of surrendering before negotiations begin.
Second, unless you were in the Ku Klux Klan like Vanity Fair's "Profiles in Courage" winner Senator Bob Byrd, or
you killed a woman like Senator Ted Kennedy, or you are credibly accused of rape by Juanita Broaddrick on NBC
News within weeks of being impeached like You-Know-Who - you don't need to be defensive. Come to think of it,
since our side does not accept Klansmen, murderers, or rapists, this rule may be simplified to: Don't be defensive.
Third, you must outrage the enemy. If the liberal you're arguing with doesn't become speechless with sputtering,
impotent rage, you're not doing it right. People don't get angry when lies are told about them; they get angry when
the truth is told about them. If you are not being called outrageous by liberals, you're not being outrageous enough.
Start with the maximum assertion about liberals and then push the envelope, because, as we know, their evil is
incalculable. They stand for the godless rule of dictators. They apologize for abortion, adultery, and everything
bestial in society. They support al Qaeda and the Taliban as they once supported Stalin and Mao. They put Stalin
apologist Paul Robeson on a stamp. Robeson is David Duke in blackface: This Stalin Peace Prize winner turned
his back on Jewish refuseniks in the Soviet Union; after Joseph Stalin's death, he wrote a tribute to the dictator
titled "To You Beloved Comrade." Most unforgivable of all, liberals have extended the public career of Martin Sheen
by at least a full decade. The latest fashions dictated from European capitals ensure that Hating America is haute
couture. Gwynnie Paltrow and Madonna - with their European homes, European husbands, and European accents
- are demonstrating the same unblinking devotion to America's enemies that we have seen in the past.
(Interestingly, the fake British accent Madonna uses in real life is better than the one Paltrow uses in her movies.)
This crowd is always in search of approval from people who want to harm America. Nothing too extreme can be
said about liberals, because it's all true. (That's why I almost called this book "You Don't Know the Half of It.")
Fourth, never apologize, at least not for what liberals want you to apologize for. These are the people who think
Linda Tripp should apologize to the nation, but Bill Clinton was a hapless victim. After Dick "I Broke the
HOW TO TALK TO A LIBERAL (if You Must)
News About al Qaeda to Condi" Clarke had the audacity to apologize to the McWidows on behalf of the U.S.
government, liberals started demanding President Bush apologize for 9/11, too. Suddenly public apologies had
become trendy; the thing to do, like getting drunk and having unprotected public sex with Colin Farrell. Instead of
fighting the war on terrorism, liberals would prefer a Cabinet-level Department of Closure to handle issues like
"presidential apologies," with headquarters in a building shaped like a giant hug and Dr. Phil as Secretary of
Closure.
Fifth, never compliment a Democrat. Unfortunately, when dealing with liberals, you have to set aside everything
your mother told you about giving compliments. Mother is wise about many things, and when you go over to Mrs.
Jaworski's house, you should still compliment her on her rosebushes. But that doesn't mean you should ever say
anything nice about a Democrat. For one thing, it's such a colossal waste of time racking your brain trying to think
up nice things to say to a liberal. "Gee, your head doesn't seem quite as large and misshapen as usual today,
Senator Kennedy!" But, more important, compliments to Democrats are always returned with insults.
On any television political roundtable you will see Republican politicians droning on about what a fine human being
some heinous Democrat is and what a pleasure it was to work with him, only to have the heinous Democrat turn
