Do you realize just how scary they are? [View all]

The Lucifer thing really got my goat. Not because I thought it was over the line; in essence comparing your political opponent to the Devil. You can hear that on talk radio all day long.

That is not what concerned me the most. The really scary thing:

Most of the people in that arena truly believe in Lucifer. They think there is this really bad spirit dude who is tempting each of us and some people not only give in to temptation, but 'join' his team. And the groups they think have joined Lucifer's team keeps getting larger. LGBT, Feminist, Democrats, Pro-choice folks and the list goes on. And since they think we are allies with the devil, we are witnessing the de-humanizing of all of us. They are not close to needing a final solution for us, far from it. But we cannot give them time.

We have to win this election or things are going to get ugly.

If you had told me 2 weeks ago I would post something like this I would have cussed at you. I am not that many years removed from being a republican, but what we are seeing now is just crazy. Carson was not using hyperbole. He truly believes Hillary, and all of her supporters, are aligned with the Devil. And lots of folks in that hall totally agree.

God, I wish Walter Cronkite was alive today. He would call this shit for what it is.
