How do you win an argument if you're a conservative?
1. Take the oppositions argument. Remove the victim as the subject and replace yourself in that role. For example: "Conservatives are denying the rights of others by attempting to impose their religious views on gay couples by not allowing them to marry," can easily be transformed into "Gay people are impeding my rights of freedom of speech because they aren't allowing me to deny them the right to marry because of my religious views!"
2. Invoke a higher being that the opposition probably doesn't believe in. "God will strike you down because you are rebelling against his will by being gay!"
3. Place your hands over your ears while loudly shrieking "LALALALALA-I-CAN'T-HEAR-YOU!" For example "LIBERALS ARE SO STUPID BECAUSE THEY CAN'T RECOGNIZE THE TRUTH THAT MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN, AND NO ONE CAN CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE BECAUSE I'M RIGHT AND THEY'RE WRONG, LALALALALALA." Your argument is strengthened two-fold if you add strategy number 2 "IT SAYS SO IN THE BIBLE." and further strengthened if you then play the role of the victim as in strategy 1. "IT'S MY RIGHT TO DENY YOU YOUR RIGHTS BECAUSE THAT'S FREEDOM OF SPEECH!"
If your opposition isn't yet dumbfounded and struck silent due to the utter inanity of your argument and your unparalleled level of stupidty, simply repeat the process multiple times.
Result: You have won the argument! (in your head)
@SCE2AUX2: Exactly. By repeating circular logic over and over again in response to any logical argument the opposition has to make, you begin tiring them out and when they just won't put up with your illogical arguments anymore, that's when you swoop in and claim victory.
And of course conservatives never have temper tantrums: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTiGD2Zck1I

You forget the part where you find some extreme right wing blog and post some link to it.
Then claim that your source is getting mocked.

Pretty good example of the typical liberal argument which usually consist of insults. Good for you.

Easy. Realize that you are dealing with an emotional child when you are arguing with a liberal. Eventually, like any child throwing a tantrum, they will burn themselves out.
Then move in for the kill and destroy them.
