I find that a lot of the BS thrown around by my wingnuts has a small basis in reality,

but is viewed in a twisted way or through a corporate/plutocratic lens. I love to google the source reporting and tear it to shreads.
One example is that of the horrible regulations on mint farmers who can no longer distill the oil from their plants.

They're dog lovers and immediately ran from their support of the farmers in this case.
