I've got wonder about their screeners.
I would not let some of those callers clean my gutters,
much less voice their idiocy to the nation.

BHN

but I've heard enough here on DU to know that its callers are notorious for their wingnuttery.

but I'll take a pass. If I'd had the slightest interest in listening to mouth-breathing troglodytes at any time over the years, I would have already tuned in. I can get a fine distillation of the gist anytime I want on DU or any number of liberal websites.

Recommends knowing your enemy.
That is why I listen.

Perhaps you already have a fairly good comprehension of these people.
Myself? I learn something new everyday.
Which is why I can't sleep.

BHN

but that doesn't mean I subject myself to their codswollop in real-time, which I consider a colossal waste.

I admire your self control and the fact that you restrain
from watching the train wreck.
I find it fascinating to watch in a sociological frame.
How on earth did we sing to this level of ignorance among our
citizenry?
It is astounding.

or listen to it as the case might be, but I'm more of a 'highlights' sort of guy. This carries over to other aspects of my life as well, such as at work, as I use the 'highlighter' pen quite sparingly. When I see the work of others who highlight practically everything on a page, I intone, 'when EVERYTHING is marked as important, NOTHING becomes important.'

As for 'ignorance,' I believe that's a topic worthy of documentaries, doctoral studies & dissertations all unto itself. It's astounding how many people embrace ignorance willfully; it's as though they're PROUD of their ignorance - as though it's somehow virtuous to be ill-informed and somehow 'better than' the pointy-headed intellectuals, scientists & philosophers who actually give serious thought to the human condition and how the world works.

That is the factor that will fuel research and examination for decades.
No doubt.

Made me cry. I don't know how I'm going to survive the next three days.

I don't have the other one ;/

Has been making beer in the White House??? I'm moving in!

My dad made beer for years-
I've got a seasoned taste for beer.

"Romney will be better for the economy."

"Don't want to face God with having it on my record that I voted for abortion."

The stupid!!!!

But there are the occasional rationals from the left who call.

C-Span aired some of Mitt's appearance in Colorado earlier this morning.
Unbelievable that any thinking person could buy his bull shit and his WIFE?
OMFG.
