20. Even crazies can be right on occasion.

Doesn't mean they're not crazy.

My brother-in-law thought the queen of England was working for the CIA and living in the next door neighbor's house so she could spy on him. Nonetheless, when he attacked somebody and was arrested he recognized that the man in the blue suit and fancy car with lights on top was a policeman, had a gun, and so my BIL didn't resist.

Bachmann was paraphrased as saying that "they" wanted to impose sharia when "they" were quoted as saying they wanted to have defamation of the Prophet and religion criminalized. The retort was that "they" didn't use "sharia" (neither, in fact, did Bachmann), missing the point that under sharia defaming the Prophet and religion is criminal.

In other words, ammo's provided already. When even those Western-educated and trained are retrograde, what hope is there for the newly funded scions of poor, traditional families?
