What Book?
Myself | 10/19/2014 | Gaffer

Posted on 10/19/2014 9:28:54 AM PDT by Gaffer

I'm conducting a personal survey among Freepers.

Suppose I were to ask each of you a question that goes like this?

"What book or source do you suppose President Obama consults when he is looking for inspiration or guidance" What would your answer be? I'm looking for just a short answer.

“The Screwtape Letters” by C.S. Lewis. However, Obama would not be taking the obvious lessons intended by the author but would be reading from the perverse perspective of advancing Screwtape’s cause for real.

Easy:

1. Dreams From My Father
2. The Audacity of Hope

Something from an occult book store that we never heard of.

Whoever guides him has the following on hand and memorized.

The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Green

These are used as a roadmap for policy.

Brave New World by Aldux Huxley
1984/Animal Farm by George Orwell

I really, genuinely believe that.

All due respect to others' opinions, that, my FRiend, seems patently apparent

Though that caption should be tagged 'Progressive'...

As for other books, I'd defer to VJ's reading for what's also influencing the Puppet...as my money is on him mostly reading his own books (y'all know what I mean).

To: Gaffer; All

Thank you all so much for indulging in my own personal edification. I’ve been here at FR for many years and I felt I was becoming jaded. I even took a couple months hiatus and went out into the online world and started trying to become aware of different opinions and defend my beliefs with commenters on forums like many of the MSM use (Disqus, for example).

What I saw there was both heartening and disheartening, and I did learn one thing. There is a plethora of wholly uneducated and hateful ideologues out there daily spewing their invective in the ether.

I first thought that I’d gather up myself a ‘control’ group and ask a very simple question - the one I posed to you all - “What book.....”

I got my control group answer in under an hour - I initially thought a couple of hours but it became patently obvious after a short while. NOT ONE ANSWER CONTAINED the words “The Bible.” It speaks VOLUMES.

I am going to foray back out into that uncontrolled world of mindless idiocy and actively confront them. I’ve already seen when the Soros Basement Dwellers are confronted with logic, they resort to epithets that everyone can see. I’m hoping at one point to pose this one question to all of them and see what’s what.
