Digby points out that Mr. Decider…Or Mr. Lyme Disease take yer pick. Sounds a lot like…well, read this…

Here’re the teaser quotes:

“We do not claim to know all the ways of Providence yet we can trust in them, placing our confidence in the loving God behind all of life, and all of history. May he guide us now.”

I also advise myself and you to say more prayers.

Guess which quote is from Mr. Decider and which from Mr. bin Laden; pretty tough ain’t it. Go ahead read the whole thing. Fascinating shit to go along with Bob Altemeyer’s work.

Homework for you to study along the lines of ‘Know the Enemy’…And it’s important that you do.

Or how about a government program that persecutes political parties, or minorities, or journalists the authorities do not like, by putting them in jail, even torturing and killing them. Nobody would approve of that, right? Guess again.
