I'm glad somebody with a loud mouth is on our side, but Bombastics of whatever stripe turn me off. And those (loud mouth/bombastics) on our side (SHULTZ) are never as good for our side as the wingnut loudmouths are for their side.

I've got friends who are Fundies and who play tapes of "preachers" caterwauling nonstop. My friends seem to me to be torturing themselves, punishing themselves for some reason unfathomable to me. That's what all the loudmouths of whatever stripe mean to me.
