Reply #7: You know that's actually a pretty powerful statement you made there, have you actually said that to

[Nickster]

him?

"I grew up with him telling us that we need to think for ourselves, we shouldn't depend on one source for information, read/listen/watch opposing views and see how that meshes up with our own views. We need to be individuals and not blindly follow the leader. Although he never used the phrase - his advice was essentially to question authority

He would also tell us that we need to look at all the angles to solve problems."

Tell him that is why you are who you are now, he essentially made you a liberal because of the values he instilled in you. He taught you to look at all angles, be a problem solver, not jump over a cliff because of a leader with blinders on taking you there. Tell him that you could now offer him the same advice that he gave you while growing up....he should look at all angles and not just believe it because Rush said so. That'd make me step back and think at least for a second if I were him.
