One of the biggest changes in politics in my lifetime is that the delusional is no longer marginal. It has come in from the fringe, to sit in the seat of power in the Oval Office and in Congress. For the first time in our history, ideology and theology hold a monopoly of power in Washington.
Theology asserts propositions that cannot be proven true; ideologues hold stoutly to a worldview despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality. When ideology and theology couple, their offspring are not always bad but they are always blind. And there is the danger: voters and politicians alike, oblivious to the facts.

Like all leftist, Mr. Moyers displays a convenient amnesia when it comes to history. In 1892 the US supreme court declared the US a "Christian Nation" in no uncertain terms.
You can look it up Mr. Moyers.
Someone please spike Bill's breakfast bourbon fifth with hemlock and put him out of his misery.
Darn.
Love your visuals, Chad! Right on the money!!

...is one of the most idiotic statements I've ever heard uttered/seen written!
"Theology asserts propositions that cannot be proven true" Bill? And naturally everything that you think is true, right there Bill?
Yes, it does speak for itself! What a delusional dope.
Auto-da-fe
I never thought, in my lifetime, to witness Bill Moyers admitting his besetting problem... Will wonders never cease?
Bill Moyers is a Nihilist, which advocates....
1 a : a viewpoint that traditional values and beliefs are unfounded and that existence is senseless and useless b : a doctrine that denies any objective ground of truth and especially of moral truths
2 a (1) : a doctrine or belief that conditions in the social organization are so bad as to make destruction desirable for its own sake independent of any constructive program or possibility (2) the program of a 19th century Russian party advocating revolutionary reform and using terrorism and assassination
As a semi-Christian who's doing his level best to upgrade, as a Devout Texan, I bow my head in shame that this lunatic-ic assemblage of warped DNA and hate-filled flesh, Bill Moyers, hails from my state.
Don't they already have that Nick Cole idiot?
This famous line of the Declaration was originally: We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable;
Not true! check it out this is soooo cool!

Non-believers go crazy over this because now that the proof is there - they are forced to say yes or no.
Thanks for the Consumers Report! :-)
This clap trap by Moyers is beyond silly.....it is THEY, the liberals who march arm and arm blindly in support of a party that welcomes into its' ranks socialists, perjurers, those who leak security secrets, and those who provide moral support for our enemies, and who allow the DEAD to vote.....This same Moyers who frets about this danger to democracy posed by those crazy religious people, is the same Moyers who PROUDLY served LBJ, one of the most thuggish and corrupt politicians in American history.
He used to be a voice that at least was fairly cogent and loosely based in reality.
I wonder how far down the rabbit hole he is going to go?
