I was listening to the radio on the ride home this morning and something popped out at me. Liberals win most discussions before they even begin. They have a serious advantage with most people because of the way they speak. They speak in vague open ended and idealistic terms. Few people will argue with "everyone should have health care" or "hard working people deserve a chance at the American dream (home ownership)". Being able to speak in idealistic terms is a great advantage to them. Even better is that it makes conservatives come off as stumbling and worried about "small things" like how a program will get paid for. Who likes the guy who is always saying NO and generally killing good vibes. It really makes conservatives come out as assholes when they say that matter of factly some people can't afford to own a home (which is true).
Without even talking in substance or having an intelligence debate liberals win. They win by being the cool guy and making us be the stick in the mud.
Just thought that was interesting. Got to eat some fruit loops and get back to work.

The answer is to make the discussion about why some people think they have the right to take things that don't belong to them.
All of those "rights" mean someone else has the responsibility to pay for them.
If you can reduce the wealth transfer to stealing, then more people will understand it.
You are absolutely right. Many people acknowledge the generality rather than either: 1)Saying, "I won't agree to starting with a generality" or 2) Deconstructing the generality with facts. I love arguing with liberals by using the second method. It makes them have to think, which appears to be difficult for them.
You should take a listen to NPR sometimes. Don't do it right after a big breakfast, though. Unless you have a trash can handy.
