“The true believers think eerything he says is akin to the Sermon on the Mount.”
Yes. And it’s like beating your head against a wall to try to reason with them.

I tried to explain the drawbacs of socialized medicine to one of those believers...using myseelf as an example. I said that under this so-called health care, if I need a new pacemaker (which I will need in a year or two), some panel of bureaucrats may be decide that I can be put on a waiting list or that I don’t need a new pacemaker at all. I said that if I don’t get a new pacemaker and the one I have fails, I will be dead. This person then accused me of being “welfish” and not caring about “the poor.”
The sad thing is that this person and I used to be very good friends. She’s now mad at me for being so uncaring. Sigh!
