It seems quite obvious that the man does not differentiate between historical times, causes and effects. For him the past is present and very much alive. His Christianity fails to distinguish between ancient Judea and modern Washington. An extraordinary combination of heated imagination, self-righteous manipulation and having read extensively.
He is more like a mullah than a Christian preacher.
I remember an Iranian friend telling me how Shiite Muslims going to Friday prayers at the mosque would be coming out of the services with tear stained faces, the mullah having re-told them of the martyrdom of Husayn in 680 at Karbala , as if the traumatic event happened the day before, not 1400 years ago. This is a way of keeping the faithful in a state of simmering indignation and grievance, and I daresay controling their minds and hearts.
