Tea Party town hall erupts as Texas state Rep urges ‘compassion’ for migrant kids

37. I can offer a runner up from my college days.

A particular student refused to give up her idea that Washington DC is located in Washington state. I showed her on a map. W/o blinking an eye she just said, "The map's wrong."

Brain dead. And her parents were paying for her 'education'. I don't know if she graduated, but plenty of other people that dumb do.

Where I retired in the remote reaches of the Midwest, there's a friend here who never did well in school for a variety of medical and social reasons, but I swear she has more sense than most people I've ever met. When she doesn't understand something going on in politics, she asks me and always understands the answer immediately. She didn't like the GOP before I moved here - Pete Peterson's her uncle - but she really hates 'em now. I tell her the truth, that she's smarter than most people I've met. And it's the gospel truth. When you count the things that were stacked against her in life, she's almost brilliant. I have nothing but the utmost respect for her. Understandably she doesn't want to register Democrat because around here that can cause horrific problems and her husband would likely get fired, and she already has enough to deal with. But she votes for us, and she's willing to be seen in my company. That's more than can be said for most of these alleged Christians.

So nobody gets to tell me that Democratic principles are too hard for the TP types to grasp. They're 100% fully responsible for the evil they do.
