My brother relies on Rush, Hannity, Fox. Gordon Liddy, Mark Furlman, and God knows who else for his information. He used to be a sweet guy. Now he acts like he is a mean old 85 yr. old and relishes in it. The right talk has changed him and at this point I really don't want to talk to him again or hear is nasty views. It is a shame, my mom would be very ashamed of what he has become. Sorry it seems your brother is a fascist, like mine.
