However, I have not once called him names or even implied that his ideas are crazy or un-American. I do my best to be nice to this guy, but sometimes it's hard...

If all he can do is insults, then he obviously doesn't have any ground to stand on. Sad that some people are so damn close minded. I used to half way believe in the same democrats that he is gung ho for, but after hearing RP's message, it really opened my eyes and changed my views. Maybe he'll do the same one of these days.
So what you have here is an anti-gun liberal who is in favor of the War in Iraq? So he's actually wrong about everything? No wonder he doesn't get Ron Paul.

It is entirely futile to argue with such people in private. Sometimes it is worthwhile in public, so that his ideas can be exposed for what they are, and better ideas aired for consideration.

But if no one but him is reading/hearing your discussions, you are entirely wasting your time.
