So I was at work, stumbling through teh intertubez (thanks, stumbleupon) and came across this conservative blog.
Please don't get me wrong. My parents, and I love them, are conservatives who probably would never ever vote for a Democrat ever. I have friends who are conservatives (seriously! Check my facebook friends!), but this blog just seems completely out of left field. Basically, they're saying that President Obama's plan for community service will serve to make a new Hitler Youth.
Why are they so afraid? Why is it that conservatives think we all want to make them into us?
More importantly, how can we get people like this to talk and listen to us? Have we really gotten that bad in America that we think that anyone who disagrees with us wants to nuke the country?

*Hand reaching through the intertube* This conservative will talk to anyone about anything nearly anytime.
...as for talking and listening? 1) I suggest taking the emotion out of discussions. What remains is likely the heart of the issue.
then 2) support your issues with the constitution or something supportable, besides it feeling like it's the right thing to do.
3) avoid name calling. Be nice. Be respectful.
