Sheriff explodes

I like the part about the European Union and the anti-Christ though.

This gets my vote for best thread title of the season.

 

But they did not detonate the deputy.

 

Having read the link above, I must say it doesn't fit our usual KABOOM! mold. This candidate appears to be an extreme Religious Righter, someone I would never vote for. However, his degrees are from small fundie schools that are, nevertheless, not mills. In fact, his doctoral school was TRACS before closing down. He did produce a dissertation on a topic of timing the Last Days. Even though I believe the Lord specifically said not to do that, acceptability of this work for a degree is up to his committee and a school. In short, while the guy appears to be an extremist and a heretic, he is not a millist.

 

From the article: "he ... believes the Earth is only 6,000 years old."

That's nothing. We Canadians elected a man who believed this, some years back -and he was appointed a Federal Cabinet Minister - and later, President of the Treasury Board!
I'm sure Stanislav would remember Stockwell Day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockwell_Day

The Democratic candidate (Richard Schmidt) did (does) have an accredited doctorate from Northland International University. Wiki said it was located on a 1500 acre site with about 750 students.

Hyles-Anderson is unaccredited and quirky. His views may be quirky. But he does have an accredited doctorate.

 

TRACS granted full accreditation in 2008.
Did they lose it by 2014? Not sure. They closed in 2015.
