exactly. and look where it got that certain candidate. To be fair though, I don't believe that its exactly the same thing. Ron Paul's sources were the 9/11 commission report and intelligence briefings. Wright's sources was a mystical layer of divine retribution. One's a lot more easy to scienfically verify than the other. One is constructive, and helps to put a needle of reality in the ever expanding balloon of neocon ideology. The other is not as constructive but merely provides a vehicle to throw in one's own gripe list against the country to rationalize your own ideology. The lack of rigor of which can converge to insulting.
