DEW = Distant Early Warning. Letting me know there's something dangerous out there, wanting in.
He lost me with his first public appearance on the national stage, with that "WE worship an AWESOME god in the BLUE states, neener!" Shtick. I don't worship any god in any state of any colour, and you know what, this country is at least partially founded on the fact that I don't have to. I did not appreciate being redlined on national telly, especially by a black man, who damned well ought to know just how fucked up redlining is, if anyone does.
He hasn't done a damned thing since to convince me isn't dangerous (like you, I'm uncomfortable with what I perceive as his extreme stance stuff).
