Snake oil salesmen now have choirs of believers and corporations, aka persons, to feed their troughs. That anyone believes their nonsense is more a reflection on the lack of knowledge of the believer. Consider the failures of Coolidge/Hoover, Reagan/Bush, and Bush Jr and you have to wonder what they smoke. Losing in 08 has set forth the crazies. Money now controls the message.

"[W]hat is required is that Americans take a stand on behalf of their selfish material interests and against those of the monopolies and transnational corporations that have captured our institutions of government. The paradoxical character of our popular corruption is that the people have become slothfully selfless, too absorbed by their ephemeral entertainments and petty cultural disputes to assert their self-interest against the plunderers who rule them. ¶ Surely, however, the American people have not become so servile that they will forever submit to the rule of 1 percent. Surely we are capable of recognizing that the perverse corporate regime that has arisen in our country is a usurpation of popular government. Our Constitution unquestionably recognizes the right of a people to alter its mode of government: we have done so twenty-seven times. We may do so again. We may throw off these bonds and provide new guards for our future security." Roger D. Hodge
Jim Jones would be proud the way these Christian Fundamentalists have glugged down Ryans Kool Aid. It seems there is nothing too insane for them to absorb.
you're saying it will or won't pass the acid test.
