I get these wild ideas sometimes, like having a set of cards handy, and on these cards are blown up graphic pictures of innocent people being tortured and murdered, in your face stuff. So that anyone who begins to challenge my viewpoint, entering a political economy type discussion, challenging "where I am coming from," I have those signs ready.
Sure, I can say, I may be blowing things out of all proportion.
I may be raising my voice.
I may be getting all worked up over nothing.
Sure, I get that, sure, but what about this, and this, and this, and this. Look I say, look at this picture, it is real, look at it, in your face stuff; and might it be a good idea for someone to give a care once in a long while; someone who isn't going to be fooled into thinking that those people in those pictures deserved to be tortured by you and by me as we financed those horrible and torturous deaths, huh? So long as we are all up on our high horses of pretentious authority and all?
OH, Joe, just calm down, we all know you have issues, and you have concerns, and bla, bla, bla, but...
But, you know, Joe, the Mexicans are stealing our Jobs; and you know, those Terrorists have to be fought over there so we don't have to fight them over here; and you know, Joe, war is good for the economy after all; and those Democrats are Socialists; and everyone has to do their fair share with these Tax Liabilities. Except us, of course, but don't get caught, of course.

added a couple of words and punctuation changes for readability. Also added quotes for dialog. (I think I did quotes correctly: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/577/04/ )

In your face stuff, so that anyone who begins to challenge my viewpoint, entering a political economy-type discussion, challenging "where I am coming from," I can have those signs ready:
