I never seen to be able to get them on board. It's not like I do it often, but the few times I've tried recently they just don't get it

    Trying to convince liberals that that the Iraqi victims of the invasion of Iraq are real, fully human people with lives and families and dreams and pet cats that were ruthlessly extinguished in service of Halliburton's bottom line is next to impossible.

      Furthermore I think stressing the lack of real accountability within the military might pull some of the emotional liberal strings they love to care about might help. There are so many war crimes that go unpunished at every level of the military. How can a society claim to spread freedom and democracy while not practicing what they preach, reigning in the military isn't a common or easy task, the citizens have virtually no say in the people representing them the most in foreign countries

      Madeline Albright saying that 500,000 dead children were a price that was worth it.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYagQuqK31s Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: "We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?"

      Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it."

      Ask the libs if 500,000 dead children was "worth it", particularly since we know now the whole WMD excuse was a lie from the beginning.
