And yet none of them realize that water is what you get when you melt snow.

I'd melt snow for drinking water in most of Alaska but in the lower 48, not so much unless it was freshly fallen. Even then, I'd boil it before I drank it.

They are certainly slobs, stuff trod into the mud instead of being picked up and shoved into a trash bag. Policing the area is not in their vocabulary.

The rant about Marc Rich was especially interesting, guess these guys don't know that the pardon was lobbied for by Republicans, Scooter Libby (blamed for outing Plame) being the most prominent. It wasn't Clinton's idea and he shouldn't have allowed himself to be bullied into it, but he seems to have gotten bullied a lot. See: Glass-Steagall repeal. Funny how these guys think Democrats commit all the high crimes in office, they're all complete Pox News propagandized morons who haven't kept up with which administrations have produced the most indicted criminals.

It's really sad. These guys are proof of why the Fairness Doctrine needs to be reinstituted. People who hear only one side of a propaganda argument will tend to believe it is the truth. Stupidity, ignorance and provinciality all help this process along.

Some people will only hear what they want to hear, or gravitate to where they can find it.

These guys are so delusional, I wonder if they can be considered sane...I mean what is sane?

in our social strata... tarptrash. Specific to these kkklowns. Did you see all the trash lying around under that wilderness assault vehicle? An indication of the quality of the information this joker has floating about in the cavern where his brain should be.

Also, your choices are getting killed or arrested. Decide now.
