If the guy out in the woods with the Michigan Militia is a real estate negotiator, instead of some crackpot, and has a normal life, that's unnerving. You don't want to think it's as normal as the guy next door, hedging his lawn. It's easier to demonize or separate them off from 'us.'

We as Americans believe it’s OK to kill people. We believe it’s OK to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11.

Politicians never keep all their promises.
