Left or Liberal?
Are the liberals slowly sliding into "leftism"? Is it generational? Taught?

Losing identity while playing identity games?
Marked politics, which means those who fear others opinions will not see this, and may remain with blinders, simply following commands.[This message has been edited by 2.5 (edited 12-30-2020).]

Fear, has nothing to do with it, but you already know that. No one on PFF is scared of a dang youtube video. No one.
Pretty neat personal opinion, but the operative word is "MAY". Like the asteroid that 'may' come crashing smack dab into your viewscreen any minute now. (with about the same odds of that happening as your "may''. )
Exactly who is that underlined exclamation directed at anyway?
The people that don't see it?
Think about that for just a moment.
'They' don't see your exclamation (or what I'm posting here) so perhaps you can explain the purpose of it.?
Here is another opinion... mine.
You are not going to be able to force or shame a single person into watching the videos you post any more than I can force or shame anyone into reading my posts; and why would I want to?.
You aren't going to shame or force a single person into enabling 'politics' (or anything else) either.
We all like to think 'we're all that" therefore what we post is as well..
We aren't ............ and neither is the political 'stuff' we post here.
It's all just 'stuff', including this (my) reply post.
Yes, I watched the video. I have no real comment on it. Nothing really new there, as the same left vs liberal/right vs conservative thing has been bantered about for years now, long before someone decided to create a video university that isn't really a university at all and never will be, tho they do have plenty of fanboys and fangirls. (political groupies)
Long before the internet was up and running as well.[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 12-30-2020).]

I'm well aware.  If you hadn't noticed I put something similar on all my "forcibly labelled" threads. Or at least try to. Its a bit tongue in cheek in that regard. Its aimed at anyone who ever reads it and cares. Tell your friends, tell your children. Change the world 
As the statements usually infer, those who choose to blindly filter their world, will likley never see it in person.

Some folks like this "stuff".Its the "stuff" of life.
For all the folks who have "heard it a million times". There are plenty who havent, plenty who have had it stricken from the record of whats allowable to teach, plenty whose only other source of the outside world is something like CNN, or facebook for goodness sake. To each their own.
If there is a point you agree with elaborate on it. If there is one you disagree with refute it. Thats what I'm going for.
You sure you watched the whole thing? He said at the end that Conservatives aren't Liberals enemies.[This message has been edited by 2.5 (edited 12-30-2020).]

Are they not? I'm talking in the USA, not just Texas.[This message has been edited by 2.5 (edited 12-30-2020).]

I like the PragerU videos for two reasons:
1) They are concise.
2) They can help clarify an idea for those who might not have a detailed understanding of the subject at hand.

Thank God you cleared that up!
I suppose next you're going to bust everyone's bubble and disclose that McDonald's "Hamburger University" also isn't a real university.

I'm just confused. Is the point eluding me, because shouldn't "Republican" be replaced everywhere there it reads liberal?

No.
The liberals are no farther to the left now than they were when I was 20.
If anything, it is the center, that has moved.
It is mostly the 'perception' of the liberal ideology that has changed and because of that perceptual movement or awakening, the internet's right and center right has become more vocal.
They are not however, saying anything that is anywhere near as earthshattering as the speakers would have their listeners believe and certainly are not saying anything new.[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 12-30-2020).]

Both parties cater to the special interests. Republicans are going hard so they can say the Democrats are the real racists. Eff them both. They both suck'm totem pole.
