I think he’s directly responsible for the seed of hate I saw grow in my grandpa’s mind that overtook his last 10 years of thoughts.Love him or hate him, he made a lot of people take a step back and think.
The problem with your analysis is that seeds only grow on fertile soil.. It's always easier to blame someone else rather than to look into the mirror..I think he’s directly responsible for the seed of hate I saw grow in my grandpa’s mind that overtook his last 10 years of thoughts.
My mother and step father as well. Right there with ya. Very sad/frustrating to watch that happen.I think he’s directly responsible for the seed of hate I saw grow in my grandpa’s mind that overtook his last 10 years of thoughts.
My grandpas dead but I’ll tell him to do a little self reflection next time I see him.The problem with your analysis is that seeds only grow on fertile soil.. It's always easier to blame someone else rather than to look into the mirror..
Perhaps you should have had the conversation sooner..My grandpas dead but I’ll tell him to do a little self reflection next time I see him.
That's a lot of whataboutismI recall the first time heard Rush as he was on the only station I could get as drove on a looooong road trip. His voice was memorable and I found it entertaining in the manner as I experienced listening to Art Bell. I found neither Art nor Rush that persuasive but if I was cruising the radio drive and landed on a station during their shows then usually I would stop and listen until the next commercial break.
Re influence some of us observed by outsiders which has had a negative effect on relatives: Certainly some people are prone to being transformed by a preacher or a political leader or celebrity or radio show host. In some cases that is good. In others, not so much. I find that the more you are able to experience diversity in life and education that the less likely you are to be radicalized.
I firmly believe the fastest way to change you mind about one of your childhood heroes is to look behind the persona to the human that was the hero. JFK was a womanizer as was MLK. Ty Cobb was a vile racist even without using revised, modern standards. Lindbergh admire the Nazis. FDR locked up 1000s of American citizens and the Supreme Court backed him up. The Steel Curtain of the Steelers and the Hogs of the Redskins were so dang big, strong and dominant in their heyday due to being pioneers of steroid use. Lance Armstrong cheated will millions of kids wore his stupid LiveStrong rubber bracelet. The race to break Hank's homerun record was juiced and MLB knew though wanted those sweet, sweet ratings. Rev. Jimmy Swaggart and his hooker. Mother Teresa and her exploited orphans. Even Al Gore will shame you about your carbon footprint as he is whisked to his Lear Jet to inefficiently fly to and fro. Sometimes, it helps to be a tad skeptical as parse through the facts, fiction and razzle dazzle.
I missed who said that....I mean before you.To anyone that thinks being conservative means your a racist...whatever. I cant help change your made up mind.
I'll derail this thread at my own expense to say: that comment and the context you put it in are pure trash and a low blow, regardless of ideology.Perhaps you should have had the conversation sooner..
