The Cult
The outrages are coming faster than buckshot from Deadeye Dick's 28 gage and still this country sees a floor of support for the RW that, depending on the poll, is in the 30% to 40% range.

The people who make up that floor can be nothing more or less than brain washed members of a cult. There is simply no other explanation. Even an idiot can see what an incompetent fraud is Chimpus Khan. His handlers don't even try to hide the fact they're lying anymore. The just tell one audacious lie after another, after another, after another.

They just sold our ports to the enemy. The latest in a five year solid, well marked trail of lies, corruption, deception, and pure criminality. But do you hear any outrage from Joe Sixpack?

I don't.

Nope. Instead, they're getting flock member's names from churches across this country so they can send them more of the vile lies and ask for these stupid, brainwashed, deluded people to simply send more money and vote for them once again.

We will get nowhere telling the truth about all this. Those who aren't brainwashed see the truth. The deluded? Their ears roll shut. They just babble louder when words that don't square with their spoonfed worldview makes its way from their tympanic membrane to the cognitive gray matter that used to be a functional organ.

No. The solution is not the truth. What is needed is a mass deprogramming.

The country is people by loons.

Madness reigns and the insane are running the asylum.

And us? How long till we suffer from Stockholm Syndrome?

2. Well, you know B*sh Sr. is pals with Rev. Moon
who is a major cultmaster and brainwasher.

I would not be surprised if the Moonies provided some handy tips to the RepubliCult on how to brainwash people.

3. "Cult of Personality" is a term of art.
Interestingly, from the Marxists. But we have it, no doubt. The slavering love is half felt, and half out of hope that somehow these idiots deserve it, as if they would become worthy instead of taking advantage of it.

4. It is a cult
and it is seeping into the broader culture.
Callers into Washington Journal (C-Span) and other call-in shows, compare bush to God. I really think we need to start monitoring this. We could keep a list of the phrases used and find out where these are coming from - likely Rove.
Somehow we need to out this systemic brainwashing that appears to be conducted through fundie churches.

5. I've caught some kind of syndrome
For the past month or so it is all I can do to get online, pick up a paper, or switch on the tube without dreading ANOTHER GOP SURPRISE. I cringe when someone says "Hey, did you hear..........?"

And yet the shit keeps piling up--don't these fuckers ever quit evacuating themselves?

6. My brain is still very dirty,
and Stockholm Syndrome is for the weak-minded, at least in my Neandertal thinking.

10. A lot of us already see "Stockholm Syndrome" beginning...
Edited on Tue Feb-21-06 09:15 AM by Totally Committed
The DLC is either, in my opinion, a group which seeks to benefit from this psychological aberration, or one which stems from it directly... I can't figure which. The "programming" of the Democrats has begun, and we can either fight it or we can give ourselves over to it. The choice is before us as plain as can be.

I will be fighting it. Actively. And, if I go down, I will go down swinging. I will NOT go gentle into America's Good-Night.

11. "They just sold our ports to the enemy."
You think all Arabs are the enemy of the USA? How is your thinking any different than theirs? We are not at war. Don't become just another cultists. Arabs are not our enemy. There are many bad people in the world of all nationalities that would like nothing more than to extract some pain from America but that does not mean the country they come from is our enemy. Come back to reality. I am not advocating the sale of our ports to anyone or any nation but Please.......Get a Grip...

12. Who said I think all Arabs are our enemy?
If anyone needs to get a grip, it might be you. You're seeing boogeymen under your bed.

The fact is the UAE is proven to have a link to the Taliban and counts known terrorists among its citizens. Mind you, I am NOT saying all their citizens are terrorists, but this country has a history .......

The rest of the story is that it would be a relatively easy task to have an operative infiltate the company, get involved directly in our ports and allow or cause something to happen. Is this likely? Probably not. Is it possible? Absolutely.

The simple cure ..... run our own fucking ports!

So, before you accuse me or anyone else of things with no reason, think things through and chill.

K?
