Filmmaker: Right-wing media 'brainwashed' my dad
More like awakened!
"The Democrats still believe in Enlightenment (read: antilectual darkness) reason: If you just tell people the truth, they will come to the right conclusion,''--- Now that's the biggest lie I've ever heard...and I do my own research...The party of hate, bigotry and faux racism...blaming you for what they've done...blaming You for the bad behaviors, and failures they've created.
JFK was probably the last and possibly the only, conscious human to occupy the demoncrap party. They have no idea what truth is cause they have made it up as they go.
So now that they seek to further blur the lines between truth and fiction after rewriting our history books...how do we straighten this out because today...it takes an enormous amount of work to get at the facts.

That footage in the trailer makes her dad look like a nutcase. Pretty sad to watch.
Around the same time on her TV show, she dedicated a large portion to people who lost their jobs to hurricane Katrina and how they were struggling to keep their gov't benefits. That's fine, but this was ONE YEAR after the storm. They weren't saying they became disabled or something. They just lost their job and apparently didn't get another one for over a year. This was in the middle of the RE boom. It made no sense. It's too bad because I think they tell stories that the corporate-owned right-wing MSM won't tell. But you have to wade through, as you say, some really cockamamie arguments.
I will also agree that news only programing beats each issue to death...hate when something happens...you just know your gona hear about it for a whole week. Then you wonder, what else is going on.
Just think of the "sky is falling" scenario...that's a sign of brain only functions.
ing"? Look who's talking!
---Long ago, I read in Who is Ayn Rand? that a
number of people who accepted her philosophy
were former "liberals".
I do not agree with some things that are
frequently pushed on right-wing radio, such as
that this country was founded as a "Christian"
nation, and that the Constitution does not have
separation of church and state (conveniently
forgetting the anti-establishment clause). Even
so, I am not attracted to left-wing media.
Eric Hoffer's book, "The True Believer, a Study in Mass Movements" was the next stage of my enlightenment, establishing my mistrust of politicians. Besides the Federalist and Antifederalist papers, my library has the Communist Manifesto, Das Kapital, Mein Kampf, and the writings of Chairman Mao, so I could understand the attraction of totalitarian ideologies.
Ayn Rand was the next step, reading most of her publications in college. That pretty much freed me from relying on outside influence.
I've been a conservative, leaning libertarian since childhood, without the help of "right wing media." I hate to spout the line that liberalism is a form of mental illness, but it does seem to be the result of a rejection of logical thinking.
Also remind everyone that the method used to target perceived enemies of the left is just look in the mirror, describe what they see, and change the name.
Worked for James Carville who boosted the term 'sacred ground' using that exact method. Another practitioner is George Lakoff who near as i can tell never had an original thought.
Once you realize they are talking about themselves it gets....hilllar-ious and then you can go back to reality.
One of the reasons I absolutely reject left wing definitions. After examining them for many years I have come to the conclusion their fiction of reality is less trustworthy than the our reality presented as fiction.
So the proper title of the thread is The Left Wing Propagandists Brainwashed my Dad.
I've come to the conclusion that the whole argument and battle is one between those who want to control every thought and action of the populace and those who want to live their lives under their own terms and beliefs. This has been the human struggle since before recorded history.
about my sister's husband, a decorated veteran and
dedicated father. . she and her dad are so far apart
in ideology that they just cannot converse anymore.
it's sad, because they are both great people!
since I grew up with Rand's books under my left arm
with my schoolbooks, my brainwashing was more like
a healthy shower with reason and objectivity. . and what
do you call healthy self-brainwashing? . maturity? -- j

The right is bad enough, but the supercilious superiority delusions of the left are nauseating. It just is unfathomable for most of them to consider they may be wrong in any way.
Respectfully,
O.A.
I also wonder just how much naivete' (the pulling of good intentioned heart strings) have to do with this as well.
The progressive left have caused most of the wars but it would seem that some of the right has gotten suck in by the above statement.
I am not poking...just really really curious. My conclusions thus far have been either they have no connection to a mind or perhaps have chosen to ignore it.
What was your ah moment...it might be key to awakening others into rational reality.
I don't believe I had an ah! moment. It was more of a slow sunrise. More like watching the sun break the horizon over a body of water and slowly climb above it. I used to think we were tolerant of others because of our whatever attitude. Then I slowly realized I was the most tolerant amongst liberals and how intolerant that "whatever" attitude really is. It's really easy to dismiss someone's believe when they questioned my certainty of something with an "I'm okay, your okay" and "whatever" attitude. It's been a growth or evolutionary process from foolishness to some degree of wisdom. Still lots of room to grow.
One more thing, I don't really recall liberals being as militant and intolerant as they are now.
