    Very familiar..

    to anyone who has worked in a state psychiatric hospital. Glenn, you call it exactly- paranoia. He really, really believes he is divinely inspired (the narcissistic component) to save us (even if he has to destroy the world to save it...)

    When will the Democrats learn that you can't "reason" with either the 25% of the electorate (who just happen to be the top quartile of Altemeyer's Right Wing Authoritarians) who lap up this insanity, or the paranoid crazies who vomit it up? I work with lots of blue collar folks who were hard-core Bushies 5 years ago- if you just say "these people are f-ing CRAZY", they take the ball and run with it! Why isn't Dennis Kucinich taller?????
