You just described my feelings and actions nicmarlo. I can't even talk to a couple of my own children. They are hopelessly brainwashed and they believe that I'm the one who is brainwashed. But I read read read and keep up with as much as I can that is going on in the world. They never crack a book and get their news from NPR. Who do you suppose is brainwashed?

Who do you suppose is brainwashed?

I occasionally listen to NPR (very occasionally)....when I have, I don't hear them recommending books to read, I never hear them having guests on who differ in the "P.C." accepted beliefs.....yet, on FOX, for example, they ALWAYS have on guests with opposing views. Savage (who I find to abrasive to listen to regularly) never tells you "take his word for it." He and Hannity and Boortz and Rush always direct you to the source they're quoting....they state dates, events, etc. NPR just spits out what's the talking point of the day; as you said brainwashing propaganda. No facts, or if any, they're taken so out of context, it's contemptible.

A big DITTO to all you're saying. Kids, relatives, neighbors....we ARE closer here, aren't we?

I was chastised during the election, by a family member who I'd THINK would be at least a tad interested, as her dad served in the military....that I needed to stop sending her political stuff. Is that all I was interested in? Do I think that's HEALTHY? Is everything OK, yada yada yada.

Sad, cuz yes, a LOT was riding on that election. Good grief.
