I was about to post the following in the previous post, but it decided to turn into a post of its own.
On Christmas Day I was at my in-laws for lunch, and my 90 year old grandpa-in-law was there. The television was on and a headline about the President flashed across the screen. At the sight of this my grandpa-in-law turns to me and makes a comment about how the President is listening to my phone conversations. Several months ago he was talking about how the President was going to get rid of his social security. Now I know the guy is 90, and I’m not going to tell him how wrong he is, but it is so sad to see how is opinion is shaped by the crazy talking heads on television, and what an incomplete and inaccurate view he holds. The NSA story has nothing to do with domestic wiretaps (and luckily I’m not in Al Qaeda) and social security would have been guaranteed for someone his age.
Does he know any of that? Nope, because he listens to the Bush haters. Do yourself a favor and download videos from The Political Teen over the past couple of weeks. Just go along and right click and save a whole bunch of the WMVs. Pay close attention to the attitudes and strategies used by the Left to argue their points. Their reliance on emotion and yelling and Bush hating is just mind-blowing. The left wingers are always interrupting and twisting words, while the right wingers are calm and discussing the facts.
I would much rather be on the side of Prager, Medved, Elder, Coulter, Savage, and all the other intelligent people on the right side of the aisle than with people like Franken, Moore, Carville, Sheehan, Dean, and Jesse Jackson on the left side.
You might think you know what side of the aisle you’re on, but do you know who is there with you?
