I watched 6 mins 58 seconds of it. Personally I think this thread should be moved to the conspiracy section of this forum.
Just think how better the world would be if people turned off American Idle for a moment and researched political events or wrote to their congressional member.
:rofl, im not sure if that was deliberate or not, but it's funny
Some Americans are brainwashed.Americans are not brain washed---they are drip dried---to short to shake it.
The poll is silly and too controlling.
Just because it challenges what you hear on MSNBC or Fox News doesn't mean it's some wack job conspiracy theory. Sometimes you have to think a little different. If you haven't noticed, their are alot of "sheeple" in this country and around the world. I'm not talking about people on sites like this one who are active in politics and want to help better the country. We are talking about the people who walk the streets and can't even name the 3 branches of government or can't even point to Asia on a map...

As brainwashed as I believe most liberals are, one has to certainly respect any person who has the balls to ardently stand for a political philosophy, whether they were indoctrinated into it or not.

The people who I think are pathetic are those who claim to be "centrists" and "independents." Generally speaking, not only are these people not very bright, but they, rather stupidly, feel as though their political indifference confers magnanimity.
If you have an IQ higher than that of a garden gnome, you're either a left-winger or a right-winger. All this I'm-in-the-middle nonsense is, generally, for educable retards.
This is not true.
I was definitely not "indoctrinated" as you say. Living in a very religious, very tight-knit community I was brainwashed with extremely conservative ideals. I was forced to be religious, even though I did not want to. I was fed very narrow-minded views on sexuality, family, and just life in general.
It was only after I graduate Magna Cum Laude, after joining the Army in 2003, after traveling the world in all 7 continents, only then did my world open up, only then had I found myself. After these amazing experiences I don't consider myself a liberal for political reasons, I say that I am a liberal person, I am an open-minded, educated person, who refuses to be tied down with controlling ideals. I died graciously on the battlefield in 2007, with a note in my hand that said ... "true happiness is found in the liberal mind."
See? I can make up some bullsh*t too.
Do you even know what the words "centrist" or "independent" mean? Or are you just a perfect example of what I said in my other post in this thread?
While you think that magna cum laude degree "opened up your mind," I promise you, you were indoctrinated into liberalism.
I've accomplished two things here.
1) I've convinced you I'm a liberal, even though my story I used was clearly sarcastic. I don't even know what the hell magna cum laude is.
2) I've proven that you have a very narrow-minded view on things.
I consider myself relatively independent, because I am conservative on some issues, I am liberal on others. I'm not a bandwagonner, so I don't call myself a libertarian or moderate "because its cool to be one." On the these liberal issues, I sat down with myself and said "ok, what makes perfect sense, what do I feel is true?"
Just as you think your conservative ideals are true, I do mine. So if anything, we were both brainwashed into thinking that our own ideologies are true.
Let me ask you, why do you think libs are brainwashed? And don't say some sh*t like "because they are." Give me a real f*cking answer.
You haven't proven anything, well, nothing besides your own idiocy if you are being really serious about not knowing what magna cum laude means...
But to answer your question, liberals are brainwashed because they all stick to their silly repetitive talking points that they've downloaded from the Daily Kos and heard on Rachel Madcow and on Keith Olberwomann. Conservatives, on the other hand, are crazy individualists. We have varying views on candidates, foreign and domestic policy, and a ton of other things. Liberals don't have nuance in the views; they simply parrot the party line on every issue.
Wow ... that's ... that's not what I'm saying. I said that to show you I was sarcastic. Smoke a j or something man ...
Come over to my place and just chill.
Like what? Wake the f*ck up dude! Both sides have had the same damn talking points since the beginning of time itself!
Every one of my views (conservative and liberal) are derived from my own mind. I can promise you man, there are things that come out of liberals' mouths that just make me wanna twist and shout. My political views change every day, I am learning every day, as is everyone.
I am not denying that there are some conservative puppets who know nothing at all, but they are exception to the rule. Liberals being mindless indoctrinated puppets is the rule.
No, it's the liberals. No, it's the conservatives. I've got a better one: it's anyone who says either "no it's the liberals or no it's the conservatives." Those are the folks that are brainwashed.

I am pretty sure you are the perfect example of what I described in my previous post. :roll:

And you continue to demonstrate what I said in my first post. Please keep going... you are sinking yourself deeper and deeper. You post like a caricature of the conservative partisan hack.
Conservatives like you have no individuality whatsoever. They aren't even real conservatives. All they are are anti-liberals... they have no position on anything, all they do is say that they are against liberals. The worst kind of brainwashing and overgeneralization. No original thought at all.
And you post like the kind of pseudo-intellectual bully and hack, who cannot formulate a coherent point on topic that is worth reading, but thinks he has infinite power to insult people and engage in psychological analyses of people because his screen name is bolded.

And that, my friend, is laughable. :lol:
