Ditto.

While your statement rings true, and I appreciate and thank you for your big-picture view, I want to keep things in perspective here.

Those who hold seances, hunt ghosts, and pay good money to speak with psychics aren't using these beliefs to be political obstructionists, nor are they using their beliefs politically as they steal a bunch of sweet media coverage.

Stupid people can believe all they want about the President. But when they use these beliefs to influence the public sphere, we should have a problem with that.


...regardless, welcome back. I hope you decide to drop in now and again when you have the time.
