Whenever I want to find out what type of person someone is I ask them what do you think of Edward Snowden. I will then try to set them straight. I am not always successful however.

The thing is, many "good" people believe that Edward Snowden is a traitor, only because that's the corrupt government's position on the matter. They've heard the false narrative that Mr. Snowden put the lives of Americans at risk by exposing the evil deeds of a tyrannical government. I have a friend that is one of the most gullible, "asleep," and dim-witted people on the planet, and he's convinced that Edward Snowden is pure evil. By all other accounts however, my friend is a decent guy.
You not telling me anything that I did not know. I was not referring to type being good or bad by rather awake or asleep.

Uh, boy. TIME TO FIND SOME NEW FRIGGIN' FRIENDS.
He's a good guy, just misguided. These are the people that we need to try to enlighten first. They'll come to know the truth...eventually. As we reach critical mass, things will start to shift, but it's going to be an up-hill battle all the way.
Can you get him to read Adam's Freedom! book? ...at least listen to the mp3 up to the 8:05 mark? If he thinks it sucks at that point, let it go..... You are correct about reaching "critical mass", but it's going to take an army of us to reach out with this book. Have you read, or listened to it?
Today, I am working on a "form letter" of sorts which will entice readership....
There's no way he'd even listen to it. He gets home from work, plops on the couch, and watches TV. He believes everything that is on the news, and when I suggested that corporate news very much has an agenda, he just laughed at me. I asked him one time what it would take to wake him up, but he just laughed at me.
Oh, and Hillary Clinton is his goddess, and the only thing he sees wrong with the world, is President Trump. Obama was fine because he's a democrat. The guy is a huge sports fan, and that's the way he sees politics, as my team versus the other team.
He can't be saved. lol
Well, my friend. I have to disagree with you. He is NOT a "good guy". He would just as soon see his "queen" drag you and I off to some FEMA camp having been officially labeled as "domestic terrorists". Anyway. I assume you have a strong social media presence. Pass the audio file around. Let's see who we can find. 10 stinkin' minutes a day commitment for liberty. ...all from the comfort of wherever you are. What sayeth?
jayem: What is your sales pitch used to "set them straight" ? I am curious as to why it sometimes doesn't work.
I don't really have a sales pitch other than the truth. I am not really good at converting people. I don't force my ideas onto them. It's not my responsibility to "set them straight". I let them ask the questions and answer them as honestly as I can. It takes time for people to convert.
Have you read (or "heard") Adam's book?
No.
Well, there's your perfect sales tool. If after reading or listening to it, the individual isn't convinced enough to "convert", there really isn't anything more one can say to do the job. I suggest taking some time to go the to Freedomline website and download the mp3. Let's pursue this convo after that.
Again, it is not my responsibility to convert anyone. If I cannot convince someone of my ideas, I probably won't be able to convince them to read the book either.
Oh, jay, jay, jay... all these negative waves. LOL
