If he actually accomplished his goal and brought harm to the President; you'd better believe every Right Winged Conservative Teabagger would believe he was.

Some might be happy, as the Left would have been over Bush.

Only the stupid ones though, who think the President is worth more than he really is. He's nothing more than a figure head of an idea, a movement, a party. He is irrelevant and only represents those who elected him.

What I'm saying is, you wouldn't get anywhere unless you took half the country with. It's simply illogical to fight it that way.

How so? Schizophrenia is a biochemically induced disorder. It has a strong genetic component, which has been revealed by studies of twins separated at birth. There can be pscyhological triggers that activate it, but the predisposition is biological. What that means is that if he had been raised Muslim, he'd probably think he's Mohammed instead. If he'd been raised without religion but was fascinated with history, he might think he's Napolean Bonaparte. Religion, per se, is irrelevant.
Exactly. Party and ideology is also irrelevant - he might (or might not) have been with the Occupiers, but his overriding ideology is insanity, regardless of what he may embrace for the moment. Dude is simply messed up.

Hey, wait a minute here...are you sure he wasn't from one of Sarah Palin's "bullseye" states!?!

The important question is, "is he Mac or PC?"
And how much does he tip.


Why does anyone care which political party a man with extreme schizophrenia supports? It doesn't matter. Having a scientist on your team doesn't mean you're right and having a nazi on your team doesn't mean you're wrong.
