42. He's talking to his base, LynnTheDem
Not to you/us.

He never has, it's a classic sign of extremism/secterianism; you relate only to your own people. They believe anything he says and have no sense of history/time, and don't put much weight on what happened yesterday. It's not so much a presentation of facts as it is a preachers sermon; things are almost true, he talks in 'examples', pictures and proverbial stories.
This is why we're so moonstruck by this movement; because they never actually speak from the world we're in, but from the future Xtian USA.
God said Saddam didn't allow the UN inspectors in, so who can argue with that? It's the 'truth'. :shrug:

It fits the picture they want to present to the base, and it fits the picture of what the base wants to believe.
We're only bystanders, spectators, to the game of 'feel good'-propaganda designed to stroke them with the hairs.
