* He's too liberal: Well, I don't mean to be, but everything else is too boring.
* He's against war: I never thought that killing people was a good way to get them to like you. When I look into the eyes of those who have returned from war, I can tell how much war they've seen. It's never the same again. If violence is natural to us, why do we have to train soldiers to kill?
* He believes gay people should be allowed to get married: Why should heterosexual couples be the only one's miserable?
* He makes fun of our leadership: Don't tell me you're going to argue with that?
* The Peever is too negative: I call this "positive doubt." I never do get too giddy over repeated failure.
* If The Peever doesn't like this country, why don't he move to a different one?: Your prayers have been answered. We bought a home in Arkansas.
