    You accused me of something you knew not to be true. And you realize it takes TWO for this back and forth, right? Please tell me you know you are also relying to me. Or are you going to tell me someone hacked your account and is replying for you. Is that what’s happening??? Hahaha...:D

    I don't even know what you're talking about anymore! Can we just go back to you accusing me of being triggered and a liar?

    Yes, as you couldn't stand to reap the benefits of your poor business decisions in 2008 and needed government help to save you

    I don’t blame you for trying to claim you don’t know what you did. I would too if I got caught making crap up.

    So then, you're sorry you called me a liar then?

    What on earth are you talking about? What poor decisions is it that you somehow think I made? Do tell.
    So again, to be clear...anyone who invests their own money in stocks bonds is a socialist, correct? Anyone who refinances their home is a socialist, correct? Anyone who takes advantage of tax deductions is a socialist, correct? Just want to make sure we all understand your beliefs.

    That would require that people be less informed as they mature

    And most of us learn as we go along

    The liberal education system is desighned to turn out liberals

    Which it often does

    But when they get to the real world experience becomes the new teacher

    The subject of this thread is an example of reason triumping over propaganda

    Dude - you go around claiming that you don't care about opinions or information from all kinds of groups - regardless of how prescient the information is - unless of course the opinion is in agreement with your perspective.

    So now you present some nobody who did a youtube video about why he left the left. Great - where did he go - to the right ? If so the dude is not very smart as the right is just as bad as the left.

    If you are an American I care enough about your opinions to listen to them

    I just dont agree

    The narritave presented by liberals in the popular media is pervasive in our society

    Its the un-liberal point of view that is less often heard

    Lol...No it's not.
    It's commonly known that as people get older, the weaker ones become more paranoid and insecure about life and prefer to have the security of an authoritarian rather than the risks of freedom, so they turn right.
    The weak ones who have money just become greedier and prefer anyone who will pander to their desire to throw anyone under the bus who might cost them money.
    And the young people who are greedy and paranoid are attracted to the right from early age.
    On a side note, it's precious to see how many rabid right-wingers on this forum claim to be reformed leftists or like to trot out similar diatribes from others, as if to prove that they got smarter.
    But to me, careening from one extreme to the other indicates that they tend to think with their glands and are easily manipulated by demagogues.

    He does not sound insecure

    He admits his mistakes which weak persons seldom do

    And liberals NEVER do

    There are over 400 of those #Walkaway videos on YouTube now, by people from all walks of life, including blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and homosexuals. They are an interesting slice of America that you don't hear from often. The founder of the #Walkaway movement, Brandon Straka, is himself homosexual. Personally, I'm always curious to know why people left the left, so I have watched many of those videos. If you're not equally curious, don't watch.

    Tell yourself what you need to, the last election in the US saw a lot more people walking away from the GOP.

    So if you think that this is what leftists are in general why do you politically ally yourself with their pernicious politics or ideology? If you do not think that this is what leftists are in general then why do they collectively go out of the way to portray themselves along those lines to a blatantly leftist allied Mainstream Media?

    The problem is you only see a box you can shove people into rather than people as individuals. This isn't the Mainstream Medias fault, it's yours. it's lazy logic.

    Politically the Left functions as a collective to push pernicious laws and policies onto this nation while also doing its absolute best to destroy anything smacking of tradition and meaningful value systems and this is while their radical factions are gaining more political power and clout. Thinking that it's all -- or even mostly -- about the individual and that thus the collective's accumulative affect on this nation is besides the point? Well there's your problem.
