"...most potent motivator; Fear."
When in awe and wonderment...keep this article in mind:
"We're easily manipulated by politics. We think our political stance is the product of reason, but we're surprisingly malleable. Our essential political self is more a stew of childhood temperament, education, and fear of death...We tend to believe our political views have evolved by a process of rational thought, as we consider arguments, weigh evidence, and draw conclusions. But the truth is more complicated. Our political preferences are equally the result of factors we're not aware of—such as how educated we are, how scary the world seems at a given moment, and personality traits that are first apparent in early childhood. Among the most potent motivators, it turns out, is- fear. "

This is pure entertainment for me, Mike. Nothing more. If you think for one moment the absurd ravings of a barely-literate bigot ruffle my feathers in the least, you could not be more wrong.
People like Ron are the main reason that people like Ron have no power. If anything, he furthers my own beliefs more than I ever could.
