Though out of date, this video is timeless in its analysis of the American right wing. We miss you George!
BTW, my thanks to user Bradley Bear, who created this, but got so tired of the hateful comments it drew, he decided to disable comments and/or take it down.

In keeping with the upcoming eclipse, here is his comment on "Son of God" taken from his book, "Brain Droppings":
"I've begun worshipping the sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike other gods I could mention, I can see the sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money, I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to "God" are all answered at about the same 50-percent rate."
