Reply #31: If you keep saying that to them, they're bound to take the suggestion to heart.

You might want to think about it before you say it. Is there any reason you cannot go through an explain to the other side why giving up our rights is bad, without saying the words fascism, lies, distortion, or deceptions?

You know you might just get them to believe you and turn against the President if and only if you explain to them how you feel and why you feel that way.

You have to admit it is less likely that they will listen to you if you are calling them fascists, isn't that true?

It may or may not be a lost cause treating them with respect, but I can pretty much guarantee no one will listen to you if you insult (from their perspective) in the process.

All you have to do is think about yourself.

If someone comes up to you and calls you a terrorist coddling liberal, you're going to be angry with them, aren't you? And you should be, because that is a disrespectful thing to say to another person. And you probably won't listen them will you?

They are human beings just like you are.

You may be more moral, but you are capable of the same emotions, and I am willing to bet the same sort of things that make you angry make them angry.

You kind of see what I mean?
