when i hear people talking politics as if they know what they're talking about, but get mad when you ask them to explain but they cant. i see this a lot with democrats around here. they generalize and make assumptions about things, and then get angry when you prove them wrong.
an example: much of my mother's family is made up of democrats. they are to the point where i honestly believe they vote democrat simply because they're democrats, not because they know anything about what is going on. i was at a funeral, and one of them attempted to bring up politics! someone (who was a republican, a rarity in that family) brought up how his city put spikes on heating ducts to keep homeless people from sleeping on them, and the democrat says, "i bet it was under the bush administration!". the republican family member said, "nope, clinton". that really brought him down a notch. i was standing nearby, wondering how the bush administartion would have a say in spiked heating vents, and i had to keep from laughing,
