1. "Agree to disagree" is the same as "I give up, you win"

My RW parents use it all the time after I barrage them with non-Faux Newz facts.

2. You can't argue with "facts". You can argue with "truths".

This is the main failing of the right wing in the United States.

They are so far right that they mistake philosphical "truth" for concrete and demonstrative "fact".

3. HA!

4. Brains of liberals, conservatives may work differently, study finds

Ran across this some time ago...

"CHICAGO - The differences between liberals and conservatives may run deeper than how they feel about welfare reform or the progress of the Iraq war: Researchers reported Sunday that their brains may actually work differently.

In a study likely to raise the hackles of some conservatives, psychologist David Amodio and others found that a specific region of the brain’s cortex is more sensitive in people who consider themselves liberals than in self-declared conservatives.

The brain region in question helps people shift gears when their usual response would be inappropriate, supporting the notion that liberals are more flexible in their thinking."

7. 'Wrote the constitution with His bare hands'? Ridiculous.

We all know that God invented birds so He could pluck feathers to make pens to write the Constitution. ;-)

Besides, He couldn't have done it because we all know that He has the whole world in His hands. ;-)
