As long as they don’t stop me from liking Ludwig Van.
Can they turn Bernie Sanders into a freedom loving, free enterprise capitalist? And turn Luis Gutiérrez into a border enforcement hawk? Or does this magnetic technique only take you over to the Dark Side?
And Uri Geller can bend spoons with his mind.
Didn't think so...

Government looking to wipe out conservatives and Christians either by force or they will dupe them into getting this done under the false idea that it would cure them of depression, weight loss or some other reason.
How Orwellian.

Abstract
People cleave to ideological convictions with greater intensity in the aftermath of threat. The posterior medial frontal cortex (pMFC) plays a key role in both detecting discrepancies between desired and current conditions and adjusting subsequent behavior to resolve such conflicts. Building on prior literature examining the role of the pMFC in shifts in relatively low-level decision processes, we demonstrate that the pMFC mediates adjustments in adherence to political and religious ideologies. We presented participants with a reminder of death and a critique of their in-group ostensibly written by a member of an out-group, then experimentally decreased both avowed belief in God and out-group derogation by downregulating pMFC activity via transcranial magnetic stimulation. The results provide the first evidence that group prejudice and religious belief are susceptible to targeted neuromodulation, and point to a shared cognitive mechanism underlying concrete and abstract decision processes. We discuss the implications of these findings for further research characterizing the cognitive and affective mechanisms at play.

Give me an arm chair, a pair of pliers, and some rope and I can make them say anything I want them to say.
Their research shows that atheism and multiculturalism are evidence of neurological damage to the brain.
Yeah... no.
My step-dad, the man who raised me, was murdered by an illegal who fled back to Mexico to avoid the consequences for his actions. I’m not changing my mind.
And if any of my ‘friends’ get soft on illegal immigration for any reason, they are now my enemy.
Lol...I love FreeRepublic...
