You can't reason with a lefty...

because they live outside of reality.

Did you ever try to have a reasoned discussion with a liberal?  You know, the kind of "back and forth" where each of you brings up verifiable facts?  No?  I'm not surprised.  If you are dealing with a person who does not recognize objective truth, denies reality, and whose entire world view is comprised of how they "feel", it is actually impossible to have a discussion.

Listen to the liberal's mantra of "taxing the rich."  Factually show them that if you took away every red cent that belonged to "rich" people, it would not even came close to rectifying our fiscal problems. Like our little robotic bimbo in the animation below, they will simple keep repeating, with slight variations, "I don't care -  tax the rich." 

The question is, why would someone live in a world of their own making that was completely devoid of reality?  That can't be much fun.  Au contraire, mon ami; for them, it is self-protection taken to the ultimate.  If you don't have to face reality, you don't have to face who you are.  And who they are is not usually pretty. 

So generally, my rule is not to engage in discussion with these people.  I used to get routinely sucked in by thinking, "Surely when I present the facts, they will understand."  And like Charlie Brown, who repeatedly had the football pulled away by Lucy at the last moment, I was left bewildered and frustrated, and never got to kick the football of reason down the field.   

The next time the proverbial "liberal Lucy" wants to play football with you, tell them you don't have conversations with insane people.

You can't reason with insane people, Ade.
I never even try to, talking to Denver the cute doggie will yield more intelligence.

The problem is that Iraq did attack us (i. e. the assassination attempt of GHW Bush and the repeated violation of the cease fire following the First Gulf War) and had mothballed WMD programs.
