Goes through a litany of grossly erroneous beliefs being pushed by leftards as fact.

Fox News host Jesse Watters shared statistics Tuesday challenging the acuity of America's perception of reality, saying that America is being brainwashed by the Left. JESSE WATTERS: Have you ever miscalculated and paid the price for it? I certainly have. Maybe you drove past the gas station thinking your tank could make it just a few more miles … or you went on a family vacation and miscounted how many kids you have. … miscalculating leads to mistakes, and what happens when you make a mistake? You overcorrect. When a ref blows a pass interference call, he usually gives that...

A school board candidate in Northern Virginia may have lost the election, but she’s not giving up the fight to protect children in her district. In a Facebook post, Fairfax County School Board candidate Priscilla DeStefano warned parents in the district that children as young as 6th grade would begin receiving graphic, highly inappropriate surveys on sexual activity, drug use, and more unless they take the time to opt out. https://www.facebook.com/PriscillaForFairfax/photos/a.111043596987758/120923609333090/ “We must be vigilant about what is going on in our schools,” DeStefano wrote. “I may have lost, but the fight is not over!!” “Starting this week, 6th, 8th,...

The questionnaire lawyers used to select jurors for the George Zimmerman trial has been released online.It seems pretty standard and meant to root out people who might be biased or have already decided on Zimmerman's guilt or innocence. The six-person jury ended up being all women.And it looks like defense attorney Don West's poorly timed knock-knock joke was pretty accurate — the first question on the list is: "Have you ever heard of George Zimmerman?"The document is embedded below:State v. Zimmerman -Jury Questionnaire by yamichea

Over the past four months, former Florida Republican Rep. Joe Scarborough has used his “Morning Joe” program on MSNBC as a platform to be an outspoken critic of the National Rifle Association and anyone else standing in the way of what he calls “common sense” gun control legislation. On more than one occasion over the past month, Scarborough has accused NRA-loyal Republicans of putting the interests of “rapists” ahead of other Americans. “I can’t believe those Republicans are going to allow the entire Republican Party to be the party that basically put rapists’ rights over parents’ rights to keep their...

ABC News’ Teddy Davis and Talal Al-Khatib Report: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., maintained at Wednesday’s ABC News debate in Philadelphia that his handwriting does not appear on a 1996 questionnaire stating support for a ban on the manufacture, sale, and possession of handguns. The Democratic presidential frontrunner made this claim even though a copy of the original document suggests otherwise. "No, my writing wasn’t on that particular questionnaire, Charlie. As I said, I have never favored an all-out ban on handguns," said Obama. The Illinois Democrat made his remarks after ABC News’ Charlie Gibson told Obama: "In 1996, your campaign...

Gun Owners of America has sent a Second Amendment Questionnaire to every Presidential candidate for this election year. We've gotten them back from several of the candidates -- even Newt Gingrich, after I met with him earlier this month to ask why he hadn't sent his back. But we haven't received one from either Rick Perry or Mitt Romney. The fact that Romney is not getting his questionnaire back is understandable, since he has been all over the map on gun ownership. Recently he's sounding pro-gun, but his history is anything but that. Rick Perry, however, has a solid record...

They act like they won the war. The Muslim Brotherhood CAIR has a "candidate questionnaire." Sorta like the nazis posing these questions to Franklin D. Roosevelt, Henry A. Wallace (Democratic) and Wendell Willkie, Charles L. McNary (Republican) in 1940. Here are excerpts from the Muslim Brotherhood questionnaire see no jihad, hear no jihad, speak no jihad. Whomever they endorse, run the other way -- volunteer, donate, support the opposition to jihad. 2012 ELECTION CANDIDATE QUESTIONNAIRE -- CAIR (Note: Full answers will be published on the organization's website. The first 200 words of each answer will appear in print voter guides.)...

...3 companies of infantry were polled by questionnaire about the drill and it’s purpose. One of the questions was, will you as a member of the Nat. Guard use lethal force against the American public if ordered to do so? One of the men stepped forward and refused to take the poll and explained that it was a moral judgement on his part and that he could not do so. He then placed his weapon on the ground and fell in behind the formation. Devon said it was like a waterfall, Every member layed their weapons on the deck and...

The American Community Survey is a questionnaire that was recently sent out by the federal government. Three million Americans were asked to complete the information. The questionnaire is much more detailed than the regular census, leaving some North Texans wondering if 'Big Brother' is acting more like a nosey neighbor. The American Community Survey is sent to random households every year.  The information updates the census, which is given every 10 years. But some people say the yearly survey is getting too personal.  A Richardson resident, who didn't want to be identified, just received the survey.  She says it not...

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly ("USA") formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown ("England") had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved? If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky? If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved? If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor...

The exciting thing about an Obama presidency - aside from the very real possibility that an inexperienced radical will fail spectacularly and send the whole country plunging to its ruin - is the never ending stream of hypocrisy that flows from the man. I mean, the guy who said he would practice "new politics" of "hope" and "change" appointed a man who said "Republicans can go f@ck themselves" and mailed a rotting fish to an opponent as his chief-of-staff. The guy who said "No" to lobbyists is now saying "Yes" to them during his transition. And the guy who said...

Some readers have asked me to re-visit a few of my concerns regarding the Trans-Texas Corridor or TTC, because I have mentioned the project in my last two columns. Recently, I introduced what I like to call Nosygate. I think that is an appropriate name for the advertising campaign and subsequent information gathering effort, by a private company, on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation or TxDOT. A brief re-cap is probably in order. Unsuspecting motorists had their license tag numbers photographed while traveling and minding their own business. Their tag numbers were then traced to their home address.Their...

It is my belief that about half of the Americans who call themselves liberal do not hold the great majority of positions held by mainstream liberal institutions such as the New York Times editorial page, People for the American Way, and the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. So here is a test of this thesis to be given to anyone who believes he or she is a liberal. If you feel I have omitted a liberal position or have unfairly characterized any of them here, please email me. This is still a work in progress. Thank you, Dennis Pragerdennisprager@dennisprager.com...
