Having skimmed some sections of the SoU, I can confirm: if I had watched/listened, I would have been violently ill. I'm getting nauseated just reading excerpts.
The most baffling thing, to me, is how on earth my (very intelligent) colleague here can support Bush. This is not a stupid person; this is not a blue-collar gun-totin' Bible-thumpin' redneck who maybe finished 8th grade. This is a very intelligent man of about my age, with a college degree. How he can possibly stand to support an ignoramus of the gross degree of our President mystifies me.
Not to mention how he can support policies that are clearly having a detrimental effect on the country. Although he did say in one discussion we were having that he doesn't really know enough about politics to carry on a debate, and he said at another time that he'd deliberately avoided learning more about the "what the Bible does and doesn't say about gays" issue.
Odd as it seems to me, I think he - like the president he supports - chooses to remain ignorant of those things that contradict what he has chosen to believe. I find that disappointing, and frustrating. It dishonors God who gave him that native intelligence to deliberately choose not to use it - and this man has more native intelligence in his little finger than Bush has in his entire body.
Sigh...so long as we keep the name-calling to a minimum, I guess I can stand it. But obviously we cannot discuss politics.
