Yes, Harris’ extreme Trump Derangement Syndrome is mind boggling. I can’t even fathom how people can become so delusional!
OMG, I remember reading this when Sam Harris came out as a “spiritualist” or whatever he thinks he was/is. Nutball and worse, I think.
Obviously, he has tossed out the compassionate bit in favor of a narcissistic viewpoint of I am superior to you and always right in my speech and actions. He recommends psychedelic drugs to his daughters!! Thanks Dad!
Well…that explains something about him and his thinking.
Found this tweet from Pat Condell:
Brilliant! And right on the nail.
Thanks, Yazmin.
Pat Condell is reliably RIGHT both morally and politically.
I miss Pat Condell. Hope you read some of the comments below, there was a quote from what’s-his-name. It doesn’t really apply to the groupies of Harris and others, but it is still a good one.
“We know they are lying, they know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, we know they know we know they are lying, but they are still lying.”
~ Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn
Those comments below -
Pat Condell’s on Sam Harris are accurate and necessary and gratifying.

The clip of the dog dressed in sheep’s clothing is very good fun. The bewildered sheep watching him warily from a distance have made my day.
I’ve stirred up some Lefties at ‘Atheist Republic’ here:https://forum.atheistrepublic.com/t/sam-harris-when-lying-is-justified/3133
Just having fun.
Yes, that’s exactly what Trump’s done! Exposed them.
And exactly right about Harris, too.
And Jeanne, that quote by Solzhenistyn is perfect!
That applies to our situation exactly, and for the same reasons.
Doug, you have more time that I do to spend online…good for you.
I adore Mary Renault, and just finished rereading “Fire From Heaven” and “The Persian Boy.”
Did you get up with the Republican Atheists?
I had read it before, but saw it in one of the comments. I had forgotten how complicated it was.
Doug, the Republican Atheists are not Lefties. They are our closest (atheist and) conservative allies.
I’m glad you are in touch with them. I think they may be glad to have your advice.
Ah, but have you been in touch with them at all? I see now where you went. It’s a site unknown to me, and yes they probably are mostly Lefties. But that’s not the site of the Republican Atheists I recommended to you.
A caution : If you do get in touch with the real Republican Atheists, your habitual (and never justified or explained) Trump insults may not be well or even tolerantly received.
(Sorry edit mistake, I thought you mixed up Atheist Republic with Republicans Atheists).
Seems I did, Yazmin.
Well, here is the Republican Atheists website: https://republicanatheists.com/
On a bit different note, this thread on Quora was interesting reading:
