Doing and saying what they are told, they have no thoughts for themselves.

I am honestly impressed by the left's massive amount of hypocrisy and wonder if they know they're doing it or if it's from short-term memory loss or as you say, it's selective.

I'm even more impressed by the alliteration. I first became aware of alliteration back when I was a young man and thinking I wanted to be a journalist and heard Spiro Agnew use the phrase "nattering nabobs of negativism" - referring to the members of the media with whom he, like Trump, had a very acrimonious relationship. I don't know why, but that alliterative insult struck a chord deep within me.

I refer to the mainstream media as a "pack of pandering, pusillanimous pissants, preaching to the puerile." It doesn't roll off the tongue nearly as well as "nattering nabobs of negativism", but I think it's apt. I'll keep working on it, though, because you never know; Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize for doing absolutely nothing so I might get a Pulitzer Prize for a profound pejorative.

Thanks Mike. Could it be that the television served as the babysitter as opposed to meaningful conversation? I've read when a mind is in one of the upper levels of hypnosis such as zoning out watching tv or gazing out the window, the person can be more easily programmed. Said as I adjust my tinfoil hat. 🤪

Not for me; we were lucky to get two channels, sometimes just one, to come in clearly enough to watch. I don't remember my folks discussing politics, not between ea. other or any of their friends, but the entire family read. My mom not only had memberships in book-of-the-month clubs, but subscribed to magazines such as Life and Look and Newsweek.

After I got my drivers license, I'd get to school early so I could go to the library & read the newspapers....mostly to see how the Vietnam War was going. I was more than a little worried it would still be going strong by the time I reached draft age. Thankfully it was ending by the time I registered for the draft; my "random sequence number" was #14.

Thanks Mike. Not for me either. Tv broke when I was in elementary school, parents didn't fix it until I graduated high school.

I was more talking about the current crop of leftists. Or were they educated so much they believe they know it all, that no other point of view has a smidge of logic to it?

The Leftist today, can't stand the FACT, that a Businessman could turn this country around while NONE of them could even muster a thought. They are so Jealous they can stand one another. Let them all drown in their own sorrow.

Nice going MADDOG-

It's akin to mass communist mezzmerization ala Manchurian Candidate.
They are only interested in propagating & pulling the party line & without a care about the nation's welfare with their Johnny One note rehearsed repertoire :-(
