I think I may faint..my right wing brother has turned
he sent me a message today when he saw my Rachel Maddow link to her show about prisoner detention
that I posted on my facebook page
"The pirates took over the ship of state years ago with all the administrations! The Military Industrial Complex is in charge of it all now. "
I cannot believe we both agree ..if he agrees with Rachel Maddow, Im not kidding you, something is changing. I may faint.

1. Sometimes, it just clicks.
It may be someone's presentation (in this case, Rachel's).

2. I was just thinking that
all it takes is someone honestly telling the truth in the MSM.
He started changing about Bush when the FISA stuff was going on.
Now hes doing a 180 on me. Hes a spokesman for the NRA, but I may have underestimated him. Maybe he's behind the whole Constitution and Bill of Rights, instead of just part of it.

3. One American at a time
We have to keep hammering the truth....Now that his eyes are open....he will be overwhelmed by the crimes that have been committed. I predict that those like your Brother will be even more angry than we are.....

6. That sudden realization can be a TREMENDOUS motivator!
I've seen it happen. It's the zeal of the convert.

7. The biggest thing I regret about the 2008 election
Is my father died in 2007. He was personally forced into early retirement by that horrid Carly Fiorina woman. One look at her on TV lobbying for McCain and my right wing father would have been knocking on doors for Obama.
