and runs government right now. The masses are more liberal than they realize, I suspect.

I don't know how we can do it, but we have got to get our message out there. The right owns the airwaves and always has, and denounces anyone who doesn't follow their agenda lockstep as the enemy. If we don't take back the media we'll keep losing.

next time I have the stomach to listen, I'm gonna take note of what commercials are playing on wingnut radio and then let those sponsors know I'm gonna boycott their goods. would be great if everyone pooled that info. !

All day. Haven't heard that one yet, though.

Hard as it is to imagine, I've read the kind of conservatives we're thinking about have learned to hold many conflicting beliefs at once, never, ever examining them against each other. Like Ben Carson as both fundamentalist Christian and scientist, in his case religion always trumping should any snag threaten a smooth shift between beliefs.

Scientists have discovered that conservatives process information in the opposite direction from liberals -- sending first for emotional response before sending it on for analytical reasoning. Must have conferred some survival advantage back in the days when we were part of the food chain for more than mosquitoes, but I'm thinking probably a lot of the analysis is just skipped altogether these days also.

Just a gerrymandered, talk radio propaganda, blue country.

You have a constitutional right to know nothing political in America.

Then you follow any good sounding story out there.

Imagine somebody that never read a book and then reads one,

they'd believe any crap fed to them. What do you think Bill O'Reilly was a New York times bestselling author?

Wasn't his publisher, owned by Murdoch?

Like Fox news, Spanish TV for old people, yes, young tits at ass

I'm usually pretty good about keeping my mouth shut with patients when it comes to politics, but the way he said "Obamacare", with such utter disdain, just hit me the wrong way.

I said "Well you can blame what you want but it's not the fault of the ACA that your insurance plan is set up the way that it is...our state refused federal funds, so your plan isn't the result of the ACA, it's the result of the ignorant politicians at the capitol in Nashville". (His insurance plan wasn't even one of the national exchange plans either).

I don't mean my post to sound indifferent to the struggles many of my patients face due to horrible insurance plans, trust me I struggle with that mightily ever day...it's one of the reasons I've fought to be listed on every plan offered in the state. It's just this topic came up when I was talking with the patient about his plan of care going forward which would be most cost effective for him and he made that statement and it just hit me the wrong way.
