Their remorselessness is impressive.
Is there some sort of institute where they memorize talking points, deflection, and where to draw the line between lies of omission or lies of obfuscation, and flat-out falsehoods?
Does the Heritage Foundation run seminars or something? Their churches?
Or is it just innate to the mindset?

I'm thinking of setting up a booth on the Seattle waterfront just to ask people "what's your favorite Jesus quote?", to see if they actually know any. Or just the judgy shit surrounding his words.
