I just had a conversation with my mom. My fears were realized. She supports President Obama, thinks I get all my information from Fox News, which can then be rejected out of hand, and am unduly influenced by my father, a dyed-in-the-wool Republican.
It's funny when I think that I caught a lot of flak from here for voting for Ron Paul...in 1988.
Now she's a divorcee who is unfortunately subsumed by the politics of envy. Needless to say, she watches the network news, both local and national.
She has no clue, as the TV news merely provides the illusion of being informed. And she knows how hard I work, and thinks as a consequence I should be a Democrat.
Here's the truth that JFK uttered that is still true today: A rising tide lifts all boats.
Google it, Mom.

And people wonder why I don't watch much in the way of TV news except for the local weather forecasts. I don't watch FOX News, I don't listen to Rush, and I take any bit of news I read, watch, or hear with a large grain of salt.
One of my biggest pet peeves when I debate liberals is that too many of them mention how the feel rather than what they think. Too many of them believe they are the same thing. And of those, far too many think that if it makes them feel better that it must be right, regardless of the actual outcome of implementing what it is they "feel" right about. That way lies doom.
