Can someone help me understand my wing nut friends?

20. I'd stay friends but every once in a while to maintain sanity and because you might make

an inroad, do a polite challenge. Obama is a Marxist - ask them what a Marxist is. They may realize they really don't know. Obama hates America - ask they do they avoid listening to his speeches? have they ever actually watched him for themselves? Because they don't. "I've heard him speak and I don't get that impression that he hates America." Just give them the idea they aren't really seeing all and may be missing out on something.

Fox News is Fair and Balanced - well that's what they say but they aren't. Why not try other news outlets from time to time just to see?

Rush is obviously conservative, so why not listen to a liberal too and then make up your mind? Why not listen to both sides before deciding - if you were a judge or jury would you only hear one side?

If they are truly nice people they will have some food for thought there. The trick is not to be snide, superior and mean (many liberals are, and they turn people off).

With the budget, they just don't really know how much is spent on welfare. They just need to see the pie chart of where the money goes.
