I'm involved in my kid's PTA and involved in my local watering hole. I've tried, really tried to intellectually speak to the talking points that Hannity/Limbaugh/McCain supporters throw at me. I try humor (anything related to Palin), facts John McBush) and just how happy you are with your 401k's. All I get back is Ayers, Wright, re-distributon of wealth and the latest, Obama's a Muslim. I swear this is all true. After patiently listening and discussing (I always make it civil), I've come to the only argument that's really effective. "Dude, you're just a fucking racist". Now shut up and drink your beer.
Life's good.
