Please name some US conservative talk radio hosts you think are rational. I want to see where your fair-minded is at. I am willing to listen to some audio clips too, post them here so we can all listen to them. Your top 3 clips.This is why the conservatives own talk radio. Rational thought always wins a debate in the end.
I doubt it.That'll show him.
VoicemailsI’ve had a couple of friends drop me, but not family, nor have I dropped anyone myself.
Shortly after my mother died, my father went full on Trump and peppered us with texts, voicemails, emails, family gatherings became his platform to lecture us.
It got so bad that my little sister banned his emails…and she lives next door to him. They still talk and such but she won’t take his emails. The rest of us just ignore his emails and delete posts on FB when he responds with politics (he once had a hissy fit over a picture I posted of a taco place because in a neighboring window there was a tiny BLM poster and went on about it, totally missing the point of the picture).
We found out recently that he’s been telling his friends that we were censoring him and not allowing him his 1st Amendment rights.
But we haven’t stopped taking to him.
Oh please, you're embarrassing yourself.Weird hill to die on, especially when you're wrong and your family member was correct.
That's ripe. There's an entire line up of ready to go jokes there, with comparisons between that and Kermit the frog, Winnie the pooh, etc.Voicemails, can you imagine going to work and at the end of the day you get a voicemail from your father talking about Donald the Trump.
Righties idea of debate is overtalking their opponent. Not too many agree to come on shows with liberal leaning hosts, an example was Peter Navarro on with Ari Melber on the anti fox, MSNBC. Every time Ari would try to make a point Peter would start talking over him. Racheal Maddow always asks righies to appear, it's rare that they'll risk their reputation to appear on a left lean show. Or maybe they just fear being confronted in an open forum by factual information.No, I have not. All of the folks I know of who won't speak to family or friends are leftists.
I am not sure it is about Trump.
It seems that many leftists know that their dogma cannot stand up to vigorous debate or rational thought.
They know they are right, but when it comes to explaining their beliefs, they can't make a rational argument.
When asked to debate, they run and hide their heads in a hole in the ground.
Leftists know that they know the truth. They also know that for some unexplained reason a high school dropout who doesn't know anything can always defeat them in a rational debate.
This is why the conservatives own talk radio. Rational thought always wins a debate in the end.
Leftists have poured a lot of money into trying to form leftist talk radio shows, but unless they ban anyone who disagrees with them, they always fail.
When forced to debate all the leftists have is cursing and name-calling.
Free speech is their enemy because if the other guy gets to have his say, leftists look silly.
Now I hear that Biden is going to form a group of leftist government elitists to tell us that the rest of us are always wrong and the government is always telling the truth.
Leftists may actually believe their silly ideas. If someone shines a light on those ideas, they will not stand.
I am the last real liberal in my area and I still believe that,,,, "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it!"
This one statement proves that the opposite of a liberal is a leftist! Leftists don't want to allow anyone who disagrees with them to speak. Liberals, like me, welcome rational debate.
Comparing a radio provocateur to an in the streets Activist is pretty weak. Rev. Al will make the trip when called to do the eulogy for victims of Police shootings, council grieving parents, speak to protestors to keep it calm. Tawana Brawley was a long time ago.Please name some US conservative talk radio hosts you think are rational. I want to see where your fair-minded is at.

I listened to Rush Limbaugh a few times. At one point he was complaining about "the evil government" because he had to keep his lights on. The reason he needed to keep his lights on was so turtles can see in their walk to the beach.
This is rational? This is a role model? He was like the opposite on the same coin as Al Sharpton from MSNBC in hypocrisy in my opinion.
The marketing is better I will give you that. Does not help the individual person in my opinion. As an immigrant, one of the first lessons I received is to stay away from people that give me reasons to blame the system daily. I think it worked out pretty well for someone that came here with no English skills. With the amount of struggle that I had (I won't get into my background), if I had run into someone like Al Sharpton most likely would be in a different place today. There was a time I would have swum the Atlantic to be part of the society that Al Sharpton blames. I came to Canada, judging how polarized American society has become, I congratulate myself.Comparing a radio provocateur to an in the streets Activist is pretty weak.

Hey, he gets to sit in 5 stars hotel, while young idealists are in the street getting criminal records and risking their future. I don't need to listen to Al Sharpton to tell me how to behave and be civil in society.
Here he is (this is one of my favorite pictures, 2 agitators, I keep it in a folder Left and Right Wing agitators):

Yes, i can see how you could view me being correct as embarrassing for me, since you don't know what that feels like.Oh please, you're embarrassing yourself.
As the question is posed I said no. There are members in my family circle that we don't talk politics, but there's so much more we can/do talk about.I just remembered something from my own family in a thread discussion -> both of my cousins are not talking for about 3 years over an argument it had to do with politics. It is absolutely baffling how politics can make people put ideology before family.
I argued sure, but not for such a long time. The question refers to a long timespan that is ongoing.
Did you stop talking to your own members of the family over politics? Why? Looking to hear some perspectives.
Typical of leftists, however, he has no idea what is happening. Completely ig***ant, so there's really nothing to argue about.
He's a lifelong communist. Always votes Democrat.

He didn't say COVID vaccines, which is only recent. Many other vaccines are.
I had to tell my oldest son to stop bringing up politics when my youngest daughter was here. My Wife also stopped talking about politics with her. My Daughter is a strident left winger who gets all her info from social media. When she and my wife got into their "discussions", her wife and I would look at each other like, "oh god here we go again" , sit there and shake our heads. My niece is a hardcore democrat as well. I try not to engage. We all still see each other and get together. We just don't talk about politics. I wish it were different, but they are just, let's say, "passionate" in their political beliefs.I just remembered something from my own family in a thread discussion -> both of my cousins are not talking for about 3 years over an argument it had to do with politics.

Several common vaccines are made by growing viruses in fetal embryo cells. These cells originally came from tissue obtained from two fetuses that were legally aborted in the early 1960s.
Nothing sinister except for using killed innocent humans, that are the most vulnerable among us, and then harvesting their body parts for scientific purposes.Is There Really a Connection Between Vaccines and Fetal Tissue?
Certain vaccines are made by growing viruses in cells originally obtained from aborted fetuses, which poses ethical concerns for some.www.verywellhealth.com
So I guess technically you're correct but this conspiracy that "dems are drinking babies blood and the vaccines are made with aborted baby tissue" makes it sound like thousands of babies are being killed to make our vaccines or something crazy like that. In reality nothing sinister is actually happening and I don't think @bongsaway is wrong for not keeping his mouth shut. Plus he chose to family over politics since he continues to talk to them, so I don't see the issue.
That's a very warped way of viewing what's actually happened. Those fetal cells came from two babies that were legally aborted in the 60's. No other baby has been used for this purpose since. They would have been aborted regardless, and their cells have helped save millions of lives. I'll just leave it at that since I don't want to derail this thread further.Nothing sinister except for using killed innocent humans, that are the most vulnerable among us, and then harvesting their body parts for scientific purposes.
You'll get hemorrhoids if you stay clenched like that all the time.
That's not warped. It's just a statement of fact. Lots of horrible things have been legal throughout history, so pinning moral value on legality is one of the most questionable premises one could think of. Using your reasoning, we could justify any advancements brought about by the killing and experimentation on other humans.That's a very warped way of viewing what's actually happened.
