"I didn't find anything noted so off the wall that every sensible American would not consider them worth a look."
The explanation is not only simple, but the proof of what I'm about to say is your post itself.
Those of us on the right have no way to avoid the ideas of the Left, due to the control of the media by same.
This is your problem world not mine. Media is not liberal, it cannot be with very few exceptions. One is the 60 Minutes piece on poverty in America and how it affects children, but that is the exception. Media is corporate owned, corporations do not allow complexity nor confrontation. Advertisers like Walmart would not ever advertise if their true work/job situation were presented. What you really rail against are trivial nothings that pass soon into more trivial nothings.
When you live in a right wing world you see everything through glasses that see liberal or leftist as the problem, you miss completely the problem as you remain in that world of finger pointing, never looking at the structural reasons for the problem. It used to be called group-think and now could be called corporate think. Big money ideologues like their privileges, they align their privileges with values that appear patriotic and independent but in reality are neither. And you buy them hook line and sinker.
Imagine that one day an insane person woke from their insanity, would the world then make sense and assume a more real reality? Of course not like rightwingers they would see the world still through distorted glasses. I'm not sure right wingers ever wake up.

"This is when the Republican Party set its trap. Meeting in closed sessions at the beginning of the Obama regime, the party of tax cuts for the rich, unfunded wars, and the largest deficit in the history of the country redefined itself. It suddenly became the party of deficit reduction through lean government joined to supreme confidence in unregulated financial and corporate markets. It even opposed the bail out of General Motors and Chrysler, though these actions stopped unemployment from reaching a dangerous tipping point, allowed the two companies time to reconstruct themselves, and enabled them to pay back the loans within two years–-creating one of the most successful bailouts in the history of Euro-American economic life."
