Just How Much of This Is True and How Much is Total Hogwash?

This was taken from Boortz, sent to me by my grandmother. I'd love to get a lab analysis on this:

http://boortz.com/more/demsecrets.html

Is completely backwards, I don't bother reading any further.

"The Democrats have begun their campaign to frighten voters before the fall elections."

Yeah, by talking about terrorism and war and 9/11 and how Social Security is about to plunge off a cliff...

Oh, wait.

If it's from Boortz it's bullshit.

you can count on it!

*wink and a nod*

He undoubtedly gets the talking points faxed in daily.

Give me a lesson on stumbling upon right-wing prop horseshit, unless this is hit and run.

My grandmother sent it to me in her daily batches of 5+ fwd' emails. Usually I delete em' all but I was curious when the subject was "The Dems Secret Plan For America". Pop, there it was. I wrote her back and said "I guess our secret is ruined since everyone knows now...."

Do you send her anything in return that might open her mind a tad? If Neil Boortz is regular reading for her then she is way, way over the edge, but nothing one good eye-opener cannot cure. All you need to figure out is which grift to bring to her attention. If she is like most righties, it would have to hit her in the pocketbook.

I choose to just ignore it. There's nothing to be gained by pissing her or my grandad off at this point in their lives. If they want to spend the rest of their lives believing what they want, that's fine with me. It doesn't affect me much.

I'd probably not want to hear my grandkids politics when I get their age. I just take comfort in knowing that our kids will be brought up knowing diversity, freedom and that the ACLU isn't a BAD thing.

With lines like that nothing he says can be true.

Is the UFO conspiracy.

And that's only because Art Bell has that subject locked up.

Otherwise, he's a loony as a bin.

Having lived in Atlanta for most of my life, I became a talk radio junkie when I got a job that had me in a car, locally, for almost 8 hours a day sometimes. Since I was born burnt out on morning FM shows, I listened to this assclown in the morning.

My mother-in-law works inside Atlanta media circles and has told me that Neil doesn't even believe half of the crap he says, he just does it for shock value and ratings. I can believe it because I think he is the ONLY libertarian on this planet who is really down with the War. He defends that nonsense like it was his momma.

If he was anti-war, he could kiss his ratings and possibly his job goodbye. He's just a jackball.

He's a libertarian about drug laws and that's about it.

On only your third day, you managed to post RW hogwash. And "from Granny", no less! That's a new one.

I thought that was the norm around here. Post that radical, paranoid nonsense and laugh at it? If necessary, I can refrain from all of that until I've been here longer if it will put suspicions to rest. I assure you, I am NOT here to stir things up. Sorry if you saw it that way.

The hardest thing for garden variety American liberals to grasp is what a truly politicized and hateful place much of America has become -- one long mean ditch ruled by feral dogs where the standards of civility no longer apply. The second hardest thing for liberals is to admit that they are comfortably insulated in the middle class and are not going to take any risks in the battle for America’s soul . . . not as long as they are still living on a good street, sending their kids to Montessori and getting their slice of the American quiche. Call it the politics of the comfort zone.

Ever on the lookout for free food and brand name booze, I slipped over into the comfort zone on New Year’s Day, 2005 to a lovely literary party of urbanites who’d flown in from upper East Coast. They all seem to have country places down here in the Shenandoah Valley these days. So as I minced over fresh salmon with a chic liberal book editor, she said: “I am coming to understand how Karl Rove drove so many of the American people to vote for Bush during the election.” (pronouncing “people” in that way of overeducated urban liberals everywhere, indicating that she did not consider herself one of them.) And I am thinking: “JESUS CHRIST LADY, IT’S NOT AS IF IT WERE A LONG DRIVE!”

That chic editor may spend her time waiting to see another Dorothy Parker $10,000 martini at the Algonquin Hotel, but my vantage point on America is less lofty and certainly a helluva lot cheaper. When I look around America’s barrooms, church suppers, swap meets and strip clubs, I see that “the American people” like the way things are going. Or at least half of them do. They like World Championship Wrestling and Confederate flags and flat screen television and they like the idea of an American empire. “The people” don't give a rat’s bunghole about social programs or the poor or other races or the planet or animals or anything else. They LIKE cheap gas and making life tough for queers. They LIKE chasing Thanksgiving Day Xmas sales. And when fascism comes, they will like that, too.

That is reality. It is all around us and only the liberals, in their noble but blind egalitarian efforts, deny this. “The people” however, do not deny reality -- they create it from the belly of their perverse ignorance, even as the left speaks in non sequitur and wonders why the hell they cannot get any political traction. Meanwhile, it is football and NASCAR and guns and a republic free from married queers for the people. That's what they want. That's what they voted for -- a moral republic.

Then watch the total cognitive disconnect.

The sad thing is that she'll agree and say "yep, you like queers or something?"

Trust me, there is no changing her mind on anything. Ask anyone who has known her for any period of time.
