81. Thank you Le Taz Hot

First, thank you for being the one to get me to stop lurking and join in. Second, for being someone who can remain calm when dealing with a rightwinger. Your post started a thread that made me not only laugh and cry but gave me some good advice from those of you in this community who are wise enough to not let your emotions feed into the conversation when your dealing with someone who has been brainwashed (yes, I said it-brainwashed).

My brothers have been brainwashed and they are educated men. My half sis and step sis have been brainwashed by the church and foxentertainment. I cannot even have a conversation with them anymore because they argue they way mitt debates. They ignore whatever fact you have given them and go off on a tirade of lies and propaganda - so much that you can't possibly refute it all -to the point of getting flustered. ( a reason I've stay away from politics on facebook for the most part) I can understand why President Obama was thrown off somewhat in that first debate(still think he won it)It's overwhelming sometimes and I tend to lean toward being a little hot-headed so I refrain mostly.Thank you DU community for giving me a place to find-SANITY peace and love
