Hi

I sorta know how you feel. Even though many people I meet here in Oregon seem to be progressive I don't have the problem of finding someone I can talk to here. But, I just got off the phone with my brother in Virginia and am shocked.

He used to be a perfectly normal Democrat. What happened? Fox News and a.m. radio has destroyed his mind.

I was at a complete loss of words as I listened to Fox News Sound bites coming out of his mouth for nearly 30 minutes.

I've been having a hard time sleeping because I can't figure out how the heck do you talk to someone who has been brainwashed. I've never been so angry at Fox News as I am now for messing up my brother's head.

This is getting personal.
