If I Were To Hold A Beer Summit

There are many liberals on this site who don’t like me. They accuse me of using labels. I have been lectured, many times, by liberals for doing this. On the other hand I point out their hostility when someone says anything negative about Obama. Even though they are guilty of doing the same with Republicans.

If all these people lived close to me, I would think it would be nice of me to do my own version of a Beer Summit, just like our President. Everything would be designed to make liberals feel comfortable, and they would really see that I am person who really reaches out to those who disagree with me.

First off if I held a Beer Summit, it would take place at the garden club which is about thirty minutes from my house. Since I don’t drink beer, I would bring Coke Zero or spring water for myself. For my liberal friends I would have hot tea or rose’ wine. On the center of the table would be a bouquet of pink roses. Also I would find someone who had poodle, with manicured toenails, and would allow to walk around the room. Also classical music would be played in the background. Now that is setting for reaching out.

However certain words could not mentioned at this Beer Summit. My guest would have to agree not to use the terms conservative, moron, hick, stupid, wing nut, or religious right. I would agree not to use the terms liberal, the left, loon, stalker, troll, sissy and perverted obsession.

Also certain politician’s names could not be mentioned. They could not talk about George Bush, George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, Dan Quayle or Sarah Palin. In return I would not mention Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, and Barney Frank.

Now that is a Beer Summit! You cannot deny that , as a conservative, I would really be reaching out to the liberals by creating an atmosphere they would love. In return I would ask that certain things (As stated above.) would not be mentioned in order to maintain mutual respect.

How successful would this be? Please let me know.

I think this would be an interesting idea. Makes you wish Obama would have a beer summit with the democrats and republicans, particularly over health care.

You don't mention what your conservative friends would drink. But if it's a Beer Summit, why aren't we all drinking beer?

I would be the only conservative there, and I dont drink. This summit would be only for me and the liberals who I have had a falliing out with. Plus I would think a liberal would enjoy a fine wine or hot tea over a beer. Just used the term Beer Summit since it is a popular term at the moment.

However this is not real, just humor.

Hm...well, as a conservative I would come to keep you company. I'd take some of that tea or spring water, or diet soda, as I am a "teetotaler" myself.

Oh, I'll be that conservative who drinks the "Kool-Aid", what would life be without one?
Or just cold water, thanks.

Can you just imagine that...no one would have anything to talk about...lol. That would be the quietest drink in ever. It would be the first time that all parties were at a loss for words. I applaud you for the thought and think you should sponsor one.

Maybe the conversation would be about writing, art, families, children, pets, gardening, cooking, sports.... anything not political or religious. There are many subjects to discuss that don't provoke arguments.

You will have a "beer summit" without beer or conversation if they can't use those words.

Terry M. Aug 2, 2009, 6:33pm EDT

Well these terms and names cause so much hostility, and if it is reaching out summit people would have to talk about other things. Just used the term Beer Summit because it is term we all know now. Plus this post is strictly is humor, I dont plan to hold a summit of any kind.

Oh Terry, that's a good one. I finally quit commenting to ANYTHING political on here, as I've gotten sick and fed up with all the nastiness and ugliness of people.....politics brings out the very worst in people........even my 22-year-old son says he just does NOT care about anything in politics at ALL....EVER.......because of all the hatred in politics......that really is very sad to see a 22-year-old so "turned off" but I really can't say that I blame him, as I've gotten turned off as well.
I do NOT watch any news so have no idea what's going on......if t.v. is on and some news item comes on, I flip the channel as fast as I can, as I have NO desire to get in a bad mood again.
Now that we leave our t.v. off most of the time, or only watch channels that have NO news or commercials, we've found ourselves to be much, much happier people with great attitudes.....LOL!
Great post, Terry! Keep up the good work!
