How to Talk to A Wingnut Part 3

A continuation of the examples in Part 2:

Belief Statement:
Liberal War protestors cause our troop morale to drop.

I think believing that exercising a constitutional right to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble somehow weakens our military morale is very demoralizing.


If the war actually had been about WMD and 9/11, there might not be so much protesting.

If Rumsfeld had a real plan for pacifying the country after the "major combat operations ended" there might not be so much protesting.

It's great to hear you are so concerned about troop morale. Please tell me about all the things you have done to improve troop morale.

If lying about the reasons for the war, not using enough troops, not providing adequate equipment and decimating active, guard and reserve forces is not enough reason to protest the war, please tell me, what would have to happen for you to protest against the war? Do you have a limit, or do you beleive that the president not only has never made a mistake, but never will?

Can you think of anything that could possibly happen that force you to speak out against this war? Or do you believe that Bush us infallible?

Does it please you to believe the actions of those who disagree with you somehow hurt troop morale? Do you believe that if someone doesn't agree with one of your positions, that somehow hurts the country or our military?

Did you come up with that opinion on your own, based on facts, or are you spotung talking points from Limbaugh or O'Reilly?

If our military had been welcomed as "liberators" as Cheney promised and the "insurgency" was in the "last throes" would protesting still hurt troop morale?
