If I recall correctly, a bunch of the people who founded this country were regularly dismissed as kooks, radicals, and ne'er do wells also.

Galileo was branded a kook and a heretic and very nearly paid with his life for spreading what he knew to be the truth.

History is chock full of people who were branded kooks, liars, heretics, and worse that were later proved to be right.

A good chunk of the Republican party thinks a sizeable number of the folks on forums just like this one are kooks.

That doesn't make them right.

You do.

Nah, just infuriated.

Some random thoughts on today's world...
Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will get you sued in a court of law in a heartbeat.
When Muslim men blame the raping of women on their lack of veils and their manner of dress it really points out their utter lack of self control.
If the last election was really about the lack of support by the American people for the war on terrorism then only "pro-peace" candidates should even be nominated by the Dems...and since none of the "popular" candidates fits that bill that foolishness goes flying right out of the window.
