“Give me a break, read Skousen’s The 5000 Year Leap, read his The Making of America…”

I have, and they offend me as a historian. You can honestly pick almost any history textbook and it would be leaps and bounds better.

Was that intentional? Either way: awesome.

And as fundamentally weak as the “so’s your dad” defense is, it isn’t even applicable here. If that unhinged woman who judges So You Think You Can Dance starts reading Noam Chomsky and becomes a political personality powerful enough to use the US Congress to browbeat college republicans, then you all can start saying I told you so. In the mean time, Beck is an embarrassment to Mormons and intelligent people everywhere, and his wild popularity is an embarrassment to American Conservatism.

No more comments from me. Even if Brad spills the beans on what I have been thinking in the last 10 minutes.

Enough. And please stop calling me a liar.

Lou is really nasty mean here. I was really impressed that Dialogue gave Cleon space to respond. I’m no supporter of his nor conspiracy theories, but this reconfirmed to me that Dialogue has class.
