What would you do? What would John Galt do?

You walk into a small beach bar on the ocean and a guy is sitting there. You have met him at this establishment before so you sit down near him and strike up a conversation. This is the sort of bar where patrons generally talk freely amongst each other. The man was in politics years ago in Kansas and occasionally brings up political topics. You know that his opinions are all over the map and have even moved to the pool table in the sand in order to not listen to him before. You try to steer the conversation away from politics, but he is not deterred. Then he says:
1) He is for raising the minimum wage
What would you do?
2) He states that minimum wage will not affect unemployment and the law of supply and demand has been repealed.
What would you do?
3) Then he says Obamacare is great.
WWYD?
4) After explaining that the only areas were the cost of medical has gone down are those the government stayed out of (e.g., Laser correction surgery), he says we are the only advanced nation without nationalized health care.
WWYD?
5) Then he says kathleen sebelius, who is from Kansas, is a wonderful women.
6) Then he calls you a racist, because you state Obama has the same philosophy Stalin, Moa, Hilter, etc.
7) Then he states we should get rid of the Constitution.
WWYD?

    Thanks, good catch: I got it from AR. It's her: 'when you have a contradiction, exam your premises" admonition.

    No one likes to have inconsistencies and contradictions in their "opinion" pointed out to them. Start with finding problems in their foundation and they generally shut up.

    First thing I would do is say...

    "Since you have decided to lecture you are buying the beer"

    Drink beer so long as he buys while he babbles.

    When he finally stops, stare him intently in the eyes and say one of two things......

    1. Amazing that amount of bullshit hasn't turned your eyes brown yet.

    or

    2. You are so full of shit your eyes are brown.

    Then walk away

    Unless you have a penis, you don't get to decide what behaving "like a man" is.

    Don't worry, you can't disrespect them or anyone else.

    "Disrespect" isn't an action-verb.

    I am willing to admit that, but that doesn't mean that you have to disrespect those women here in the Gulch who are not part of that majority you describe.

    You must be ready to go for the one-punch knockout. The JG quote on your shirt should do it. If you are not able to come with that sort of intensity, leaving is the correct choice, and then you have to do your homework to be ready for the next such encounter. That is what this thread was all about.

    Didn't bambib just post a reference to a paper by John Lott? The one about women voting for deficits?

    It looks like bambi is right and you just don't have any facts on your side. Why did you say babmbi never provides any facts? That isn't true.

    Which doesn't change the fact that dbhalling is a bald-faced liar.

    I'd expect khalling to side with her lying husband. Are you the third person without integrity in their bed?

    You are asking me to put life and liberty on the line, submit to servitude, for the sake of economic freedom? Really?
    Come on, Bambib.

    What role do you see women playing IF you had your way and they weren’t allowed to vote?

    I have the JG quote shirt that says
    "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it."
    and I used to have a Latin quote in my office that translated to "He who keeps silent, consents."
    We cannot allow them to silence us while we go along with the pretense that they are not naked.

    The only thing standing between you and economic freedom in America is the voting pattern of women.

    Come on, Mimi. Admit it. The majority of women are perfectly happy to steal money from the producing class using government to siphon it into their own pockets or to build welfare systems for their own benefit.

    Why not admit it?

    You are a liar. Your lie is for anyone to see who cares to check. I've cited several sources. Have you cited one?

    I repeat… you are a LIAR.

    Somewhere in Stranger in a strange Land, it is mentioned that the legislature of Kansas voted to make pi equal to 3.
    same thing.
