You can't argue with someone's god. You can't reason with religious nutcases.

(1,576 posts)6. tRump is now proving Barry Goldwater wrong when
Goldwater said, "Extremism in the defense of Liberty is no vice." tRump is now proving that extremism in the defense of Liberty DESTROYS LIBERTY.
Extremism is a last resort when no other options are available. I never liked Goldwater, but at least he was not a complete asshole. In order to be a repug today you must first demonstrate what a complete asshole you are.
Remember, extremism is a vice - always was, always will be. It is only warranted when no other options are available.
