including here at home.

They prove it to you anytime you talk to them about anything.

No clue.

And the scariest part of all is they are convinced WE are the ones who dont have a clue.

and know they are being lied to. Here, people watch the news and believe it is the truth and that is much scarier.

Justify watching Faux by telling myself I was hearing what the crazies were spewing so as to be better prepared with my own arguments. However, after the election I realized that people like hannity lie so reflexively that the whole process was pointless! How do you fight lies with facts and reason? I haven't watched or listened to one moment of faux or hate radio since last November and I feel much better for it and my arguments are just fine, it turns out.
