That implies that Kucinich does not have nutty ideas, which is, of course, incorrect, even compared to your positions.

Kucinich's positions are essentially mainstream liberal.  Just because he's short or claims to have seen a UFO are not valid rebuttals of his policies.

Reagan constantly claimed to have seen UFOs (I think Carter did too, but I can't be certain..). Then there was that mystic stuff with his wife and also his unusual readings of the Book of revelation which often fed into some of his speeches... So clearly senile\mad\kooks can't be elected to the White house.

Wow, this is quite possible the boldest move I've ever seen Congress take.  Those Christians are so persecuted and downtrodden.  I mean it's not as if the United States is 75% Christian or anything.  Perhaps next Congress will pass a resolution celebrating kittens.

The funny there is that, considering this congress, I am not sure whether that should be sarcasm or not..

Not quite true; well some of it is but only in certain areas and yes Anti-semitism was rampant during this period. But what is important to realize that the reason why Jews became associated with certain professions - ie. Banking, certain types of small business - was due to the Catholic church's ban on Usury (ie. Lending money at interest) during the Middle ages, but as there was demand for a such service the biggest non-Catholic minority were those who were advantaged. This is where the whole "Jewish Bankers" stereotype (and not the only one) comes in.

Of course by the time of the Nazis; all that was only a truth in history. Only the Rothschilds (who weren't medevil) were left; didn't stop alot of anti-semitism spreading from generation to generation (as alot of anti-semitism, though not all of it - far from it, is often associated with a rejection of what can be seen as "urban values".)

All this does not o\c mean that DWDL is not a deluded plank who should move to somewhere East-St Louis pronto.
