Amazing, isn't it? How is it this guy can come on t.v. and spew such craziness every day, EVERY day?
I know he has freedom of speech, and I support that.
However;
It starts with;
A). He uses stories of his religious epiphany and Christian moral values to ensure them that he is "saved" or somewhat above reproach.
B). He uses stories of the "Founders", to reinforce the above-----"Father, I cannot tell a lie.", etc.
C). He tells them what they came to hear. Obama is a Nazi, he wants to take your guns, he has insideous plans to destroy America, blah, blah, blah.....
Backed up with images of Black Panthers, Stalin, mass graves,................
Christ, Isn't it obvious?
The fact that anyone buys this guys shit, just about destroys my faith in humanity.

I think I would have liked him better when he was a drunk and off his meds.

Or they get hired as a workers compensation doctor, or an expert witness, or on Wall Street, or an insurance adjuster.

I know, I know. You're right again, Chas. But it is so disheartening to see so many of my countrymen/women eating it up as gospel.

50% of the population have below average IQ's.
Primarily due as to where you drive the stake.

Maybe we need to find ways to raise the average. I don't think critical thinking comes naturally. It needs to be developed and reinforced. I would hope that more than half of us, given some education in the area, would be able to develop critical thinking skills. I guess I was lucky to have grown up in an era when it was fashionable to question authority.
