flip a switch

In never stops bothering me how when you try to talk to otherwise normal and intelligent people about certain things, they instantly flip a switch and become irrational, unreasonable, dishonest, abusive, combative, defensive, evasive and generally ridiculous.

Bush's detachment from reality should be disturbing to everyone, but no, you're just anti-Bush and you love to bash him. You're such an asshole, criticizing the man. Do you think it is easy being President? He's trying his best! I can't fault a man for trying, can I? Huh? Huh? CAN I?!!

We're on the brink of a war that would be even more of an unmitigated disaster than Iraq, which is difficult to imagine, but what else can we do? We can't trust that crazy person over there, so we should attack, otherwise he might attack us! What are you, some kind of terrorist sympathizer?! When another 9/11 happens you'll be saying Bush should have done more!!!!

And while they're pouring money into a black hole halfway around the world, they aren't even making corporations pay their taxes. Uh... double taxation, right? uh... ... umm... I gotta go... I'm not running away though, don't think that. I just don't want to talk about it.

Back home, pretty much every government organization is spying on United States citizens whenever they want, but we have to disrupt the terrorists! Besides, why do you care unless you have something to hide?!!

"This exposes the right's total intellectual bankruptcy as nothing else has, in my opinion. They are nothing more than rich authoritarian thugs whose only real mission is to maintain their prerogatives. One of these days somebody is going to find a reason to think they are unamerican too --- and they are probably going to use that very same police state power against them. Then they'll screaming too --- but it will be too late."
- Digby
Total intellectual bankrupcy indeed. Somehow they think these responses of theirs are meaningful when every one of them is just empty rhetoric. Who are you to say what is right? You think you're so smart and everyone else is so stupid! Listen up, boy, there's more to this world than being right all the time. Have some respect, you pompous asshole.
