None of them use the Internet much, so I send them links, but there is a huge component of older people who still get all their news from CBS, CNN. I know a lot of them because of my various prayer groups.
They watch NPR for the "alternative" news.
I am sort of at a loss as to how to reach them. Ordinarily I wouldn't care so much, but now I feel like I need to get the truth out.
I think all I've basically convinced them of is that I'm a fruitcake.
It’s not just the older generation. It’s the younger generation as well. When Ayers says “Down with Captilalism!”, the anti-American hatred he is expressing is not resonating with 20/30 somethings either. Just someone expressing their opinon to these numbnuts. I’m learning that many in this generation of people do not understand the meaning of a communist system nor its disastrous history, and words such as “down with capitalism” are not absorbed as dangers to the freedoms that they enjoy in this country.
I truely believe that we have “arrived” to the point of so many Americans becoming walking slave zombies. And it has happened, I would say, in the last 12 years. So many dumb, ignorant, stupid, and uneducated people, who have grown into adults watching TV reality shows, products of public education.
Never has there been so much knowledge, but yet so little learning.
