I'm curious, though.

Is it really a lie if you believe it heart and soul?


If you think that Gunner believes half the things he says, then you
believe he's a psychotic moron. He's not psychotic, and he's not a moron.

I'm not so sure it's that simple, Ed.
Psychology being what it is...

People seem to believe a lot of strange stuff these days.
Some people seem to feel very threatened when things change on them.

Like, for instance, a black man running for President of the United
States?

If one's belief system doesn't allow for that to happen, is convinced
that such a possibility must be stopped at any price, then is it lying?

I'd agree that Gunner is no moron.

But the psychotic part?

Based on what we've seen here?

WYSIWYG...


Gunner wears his political personna like you would wear a lead vest when
you're getting your knees X-rayed. It's a schtick, one in which he's heavily
invested. The nastiest part of it is that he lets himself demean and
dehumanize people who don't agree with him.

Just using pages 11-134 in the Democrat Playbook. If it works for
them...

So, he's not psychotic. The degree of extremism one projects like that is a
reasonable measure of frustration and insecurity in varying mixtures. But he
can be an obnoxious twit.
