It seems christians often do that.  I was explaining to my bigoted christian neighbor how we have many things in our society that are Socialist ,which she just kept saying over and over that the President is, such as public libraries, public schools, police, fire, highways, etc.  She WOULD NOT HEAR IT.  Just talked over me while looking away.  It really took a lot for me to not say, I can't converse with you, you're a moron.  But I have to live next door so I said we'd agree to disagree.  She still didn't like that.  Tough shit. lol~ Melinda

Umm, why would you not say that?  I generally stick to the term 'ignorant', but I've said on many occasions, "I'm sorry, but you're too ignorant to have a conversation on this subject."  Once someone pulls out the Fox News talking points, they're done.

Add to Fox Noise talking points, those that come from WorldNetDaily (WingNutDaily), and NewsMax.

As a fun but instructive read I recommend "Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean" by Edward Kritzler. The title is much more glitzy than the narrative which is reasonably erudite.
