Because his mom called and asked everyone to be super special nice to him.

Does this guy think he is in church? Why is he reading the Bible at a House Subcommittee hearing?

[Mick Pletcher]

All I can say is wow. He really thinks man cannot destroy the earth? And to think he was elected as a US Representative. That says a lot about his constituency. My first statement back to him would have been then that means he is powerless since he absolutely knows that man cannot destroy the earth. He cannot both know what will happen and act to change it. So which is it....all powerful or all knowing? Richard Dawkins would put this guy to shame.

Oh, COME ON! I hate that there are [so very many] other men and women in the world that are more capable, obviously more intelligent - and we have to wash cars, serve tables, and landscape. It just blows my mind, in a bad freaking way how basely, and harmfully people in power think/don't think/behave/don't behave. Like, come on. This is an exceptionally delusional monologue. Very upsetting for those who can critically think.

Holy shit America get rid of that guy please

[e3mada]

Dumb cunt. How about, god will decide how he will die and so he shall never visit a doctor or hospital. What a god damn total asshole fuckhead.

Crap is best diluted. I suspect you are thinking of deluded. Easy mistake since North Americans pronounce "t" like "d".
