1. FUCK!

Fact: The guy they're blaming won't do anything about it.

2. I got into a heated argument with a woman I know several years ago...

...about how Obama wasted our tax money by bailing out the big banks. I tried explaining to her the dates and players following the crash of '08, even naming Treas Sec Paulsen and others, but she just looked me in the eye and said "I think you're wrong, Obama did it", like I was some kind of dumbass.

Where do I go from there? I just gave up & walked away.

Another friend lost his job during the crash in late September of 2008. He blamed Obama for "costing him the best job he ever had". I asked how that was possible when he wasn't even elected at the time, and he explained that his employer let him go "because he was afraid Obama would get elected in November". The lunacy continued when he cashed in on the stimulus the next summer with free schooling that landed him an even better job. He still hates this president for trying to ruin his life and doing nothing to help.

So you're right, there's no stopping the hatred and Fox News generated ignorance.

10. I have a couple friends who scoff at anything on Wikipedia

They use the standard Limbaugh argument that since anyone can edit it, there's nothing but liberal lies on the site. Since they don't understand that newbies are subject to review before final edit, I usually challenge them by offering them $20 if they can change any article of their choosing by the next day.

That denial of proven fact is what led to Conservepedia, a parallel universe where those on the right can read about how Darwin seriously doubted his own theories and FDR set back the economic recovery by years:

How can we fight climate change with these people? When the seas swallow NYC, they'll claim liberals just fiddled while Rome burned.

9. George Bush Sr closed down 100 military bases his last year in office. To this day

I still have local republicans telling me that Clinton closed down Chanute Airforce Base.
