The basis of most RW talking points: 2+2=13----And they WIN with this!
Edited on Tue Feb-09-10 08:15 PM by nikto
It has been a dark miracle, and pinnacle achievement of
RW pundits and GOP/Corporatist think-tanks, to undermine, KILL, DESTROY AND BURN
the concept of 2+2=4 in basic political and social logic.

But THEY did it! They have established 2+2=13 as
the gold-standard for RightWing "common sense".

Victims of this vile, but apparently delicious (to some) BS, go around
thinking Obama is a socialist; that communists, Liberals and nazis are
all the same (thank Jonah Goldberg for that one); that Democrats are responsible
for our National Debt; that global climate change/disruption is not happening;
that the word "retard" is only an insult when a non-rightwinger says it; that
healthcare reform will kill grandma, but Healthcare Corporation Executives DON'T;
that Jesus is a warrior with a big bloodstained sword (remember when
Jesus Christ ripped the nails out of his hands,
jumped down from the cross, and tore the livers out of those
mean Roman guards with his bare hands? Uh....I don't);that many people
freely choose their sexuality when in their teens; etc etc etc etc etc etc ?????????

The list could go on for dozens of pages, literally.

But my stomach isn't that strong, I'm afraid.

I'm certain if the pundits and think-tanks focused their hideous logic/rhetoric on NASCAR,
millions of fans would soon be convinced that the race-cars are powered by banana slugs
inside the engines, feeding on armadillo turds, and that terrorists hide inside
every racecar's glove-compartment.
THAT won't happen though, because RW pundits and thinktanks LIKE NASCAR.

All they really hate is TRUTH.

Is this trend reversable?

Or have too many in our nation leaped down the rabbit hole to find
that the chocolate pudding down there is delicious, and the lemon Koolaid in
those lower depths is to die over.

Ofcourse, the pudding comes from Fido's behind, and the lemon Koolaid?
Well, it's perhaps a bit more salty and sour than the
RW guzzlers care to admit (if you catch my drift).

In the 30s, Germany was saturated with this 2+2=13 logic.
And look where it got them!

They had to lose over 4-million people just to
change it back to 2+2=4!

http://warchronicle.com/numbers/WWII/deaths.htm

How many, and how much, will WE have to lose before RW and thinktank America
is of a mind to let us go back to the old, stale, corny, outdated principle of: 2+2=4?

If God were a rightwing conservative,
Einstein's "E" would = 17.3 snickerdoodles on tuesday, 8.6 gumballs on wednesday,
and 48 aquamarine jellybeans the rest of the week!
Now---Try creating a universe based on THOSE principals!

3. Those of us from other countries are usually astounded
Edited on Tue Feb-09-10 08:34 PM by Canuckistanian
At the sheer idiocy of those on the "right". Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Pat Buchanan.

These people seem like parodies of idiots. But they're real. All TOO real.

And what's MOST astounding is the sheer NUMBER of Americans who listen intently to every word they say.

It's really disappointing to us who remember the old days of conservative Americans who were at least legally sane.

Hell, even Richard frigging NIXON had his good points.
