40. Look, a whole bunch of these people are not the whack jobs you think they are.
I know some really good people, some of the most honest (and Christian) people I have ever met, who fell into the whole "Left Behind" rapture nonsense. That happened years and years ago. Now they ALL think torture is cool. I am not inventing this. Your friend maybe has more sense or something, I don't know her, but these are good people. Very good people. Or at least, they used to be. The ones that still talk to me are not ashamed of ANY of the recent events that have occurred. Not even when our CIA is disappearing folks.

Sure, what I am testifying to is anecdotal, of course it is, because it is MY experience. What I am telling you next is NOT anecdotal. The majority of Americans have no problem with torture. Most people think it's just fine. So, to me, that means that most people are damaged somehow. And when I see a multitude of people, that I know are good people, buying into the whole torture model of humanity, then I have to ask why that is.

So you tell me, why is that?

And by the way, I think that the "Third Reich" was also referred to as the "Thousand Year Reich", so asserting that there is ZERO evidence that the Nazis were millennial sounds kind of foolish.
