2. I agree

They can't help themselves from exposing themselves every time they make a move with their allegedly covert attempts to destroy the country.

What I find so disappointing is that so many blindly praise them while others become defeatists and stop paying attention.

Meanwhile, some of us are trying to keep the flashlight shining on their BS so the rest won't step into the abyss. There are too many who don't want religion crammed into every orifice so this will likely be the beginning of the end for the latest wave of religious fervor.
