5. "They are lied to by Fox News and conservative radio - blame mostly on media."

I can't give them a pass.

I'm definitely on the left-leaning side of the spectrum, I always check things out for myself. I never blindly believe anything or anyone without fact-checking to make sure of things. In other words, those folks who watch Fox or who listen to Rush Limpballs, Alex Jones etc. are intellectually lazy, and don't care to think for themselves.

I'm SO thankful to my long deceased parents who taught me from a very young age to think for myself. They even taught me to challenge THEM if I disagreed with something they said to me, because they said that even they were capable of making mistakes--I can still hear my late Dad telling me "There are erasers on the ends of pencils for a REASON."

I'll never live my life not thinking for myself.
