OK. So. I am massively confused here Tortuf.
I clicked your link and whilst simplistic, the views illustrated are nothing new to this discussion.
I looked up Prager U and its founder and became even more confused.*
As you appear to be straight-forward I really do not understand the posting of this link.
*Dennis Prager is a conservative, American radio host who is prone to Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh-esque crazy talk.

LB,
While he is probably simplistic, I think he has more truth than not in his presentation. As far as him being radical conservative, it doesn't matter to me what other views he holds and I am neither commenting on them, nor approving or disapproving them.
I found myself being persuaded I was wrong about something - gained from that and the other discussion here - and fessing up that I was wrong.
For me, it is a part of humility to not need to be right and not hiding the fact that I am wrong.
If you take something more from my post it was not intended.

I've no idea where Colonel Ty Seidule, the presenter, stands politically. I am just suspicious of the website, not necessarily this man and his presentation.

And because of this, you are a better person than I.

I was not sure what to make of the source of the linked video. Apologies for casting aspersions.
Right is right, even if the right say it. It is just hard to admit for me.

I am a little too prosaic to have read aspersions into your post. You asked for an explanation. I like you enough to respond, so I did.
I'll try to be more exciting next week.

A person willing to challenge their own perception is a rare creature. I shall cherish this encounter.
