Michele Bachmann being the face of the Tea Party aside, here we have in play that age old all consuming corundum of which came first, the chicken or the egg? Or more specifically, the clown or the red nose?
Does American Evangelical Christianity attract stupid people, or does it make people stupid? As I once explained, Jesus kills more brain cells than all the drugs put together.
And no apologies for the resentment that sentence may cause. For American Evangelical Christianity is the center of most of the ignorance, mean, nasty, intolerant, bigotry inherent in the Republican Party. Which we all need to be reminded of daily.
