How Stephen Colbert Has Been Duped by the Media

Tweet

I couldn't even make it through his whole monologue on "Late Show with Stephen Colbert" last night, he's so 'convinced' that "more laws" will somehow stop crazy people from being crazy. And 'his devotion to this falsehood' is another sign that he's a good Catholic (one of Catholics' basic foundations being "stick to the story" ... and I don't want this to be a religion-discussion, but I'm just saying that 'sticking to the story' is one of many "good Catholic"-talents). We Catholics have 'the habit' (part-blessing, part-curse) of taking 'things we hear' as "truth" if they're repeated again-and-again, make 'some sort of sense' to us, and aren't argued-against very often. And Stephen's heard "lawmakers need to make more gun-laws" more-often than "Congress needs to devote more resources to public mental-health." Maybe the second one 'makes more sense,' but the first one "rings out" more often---it's the one that 'Pavlov's dog' responds to (Did I get that saying right? with Pavlov's dog responding to a bell?)
