    May the PragerU mafia calm down stop trying to strong arm us into watching your propaganda. If we want to watch it we will. No need to try and force us good lord. If I posted an "educational" vid by Hillary Clinton would you watch it? Of course not, you dont like what she stands for. Some of us feel that way about the scandalous PragerU vids and the Wilks Brothers. You are not going to force us to watch it or like it so give it up PragerU Cowboys!

    CHILL!!!!

There is an old movie, I think it was called They Live, where people wearing special sunglasses could see the evil aliens. It's something like that.

    It's TDS no matter how hard you try to justify it. Sunglasses to see evil.

    Prager mafia? You mean Safety, you, alexa, Obvious? You all seem really freaked out about it, to the point of starting threads to troll about it. Mafia, propaganda, force, scandalous, the emotional language just keeps piling up higher and higher.

    Post a video by Hillary, I'll watch and criticize what she says.

    Ok - where do I begin? Prager begins by oversimplifing the distinction between the left and Liberals as if they are two entirely different categories, which is false. People are not that neatly categorized. There is a spectrum between classical liberals and the far left. The rest starts to fall apart if there are no neat categories. There are people who support capitalism but don't support the notion that their nation is always right. There are people who don't believe in segregation of any kind but still acknowledge that racism exists and that some speech crosses the line into incitement to hate. Hate propaganda. There are some people that believe that capitalism is not necessarily the best way to lift people out of poverty because it requires a degree of poverty in order to sustain the model and yet are not willing to move to a communist model but will not declare that capitalism is the most perfect economic model. There is also the fact that Prager's video is propagandizing American nationalism, in that if you don't believe the old slogans, you hate America. You can't love America and care about the rest of the world. His attitude is decidedly unChristian in that the American Christian should not feel that he is a citizen of the world - not his brother's keeper beyond the borders of America. If you view America's role in the geopolitics of the last 50 years somewhat unfavorably, you are not just a thinking person with a conscience and a sense of wrong and right, but you are a leftist nut.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    Read it, nice attacking the messenger when you can't seem to attack the message.

    Begin by using one of his videos for example. You make these vague, oversimplified generalizations with no evidence to support it. Most of what you just posted is just your sown leftist views.

    Other than a distinction without a difference? Tell me moar!

    Hard to believe you can't see the difference, or, perhaps, why you refuse to.

    Take JAP, please. She just posted she's being forced to watch PragerU videos. I could say to her she doesn't have to. That's different than telling someone you're irritated qith to leave a thread.

    No, I don't expect you to see the difference, but others will.
