no effort to verify facts
The article isn't really about the parents' new conservative views and the author's displeasure with them.
Rather, his problem is with:
(1) Their antagonistic manner, and
(2) the repetition of O'Reily's lines without any indication that it reflects their own thoughts, and no effort to verify facts before accepting them as "truth". No effort to compare propaganda with known facts. ("now that doesn't sound right; I haven't heard anyone try to outlaw Christmas; where is the proof of this War on Christmas?")
The mindless repetition and acceptance of propaganda without any verification from previously critical thinkers--that's what's so hard to accept.
