Am I the only one who sees a close similarity between vocal Mac users and Obama supporters?

They act as if they are God’s gift to humanity.

They routinely speak as if they are all knowing, but usually never say much of substance other than how great it is that they support what they support.

They look at anyone that is not the same as rubes “clinging” to backwards ideologies.

When you poke holes in there land of make-believe they accuse you of being a bigot.

They put logo stickers in the back of their car windows, so they can find each other and gush over how cool it is that they are who they are.

They think they are the change that they’ve been waiting for.

On the outside maybe, but underneath it's entirely different. Most Mac users I know are former Windows users who switched and are so happy they want to let others know there's a better way. I still use Windows more than Mac, and it constantly reinforces how much better the Mac is. It's a practical, logical thing.

Obama supporters are just blinded by the charisma or the ideology.

It’s very possible that you may be the only one, even here on FR, where the bashing of Macs, Apple, and people who use Apple products is considered okay.

FYI: since your post began with the statement that Mac users think we’re god’s gift to humanity, and equating us with Obama supporters, you are a bigot.

Not most of them, but plenty who do turn up on these threads. It's profoundly silly, actually. I was just at a conference on the Microsoft campus in Redmond and there were Macs all over the place. I will go out on a limb (and probably offend somebody here) and state that the more passionate an evangelist about the matter, the less he or she actually knows about it, and that goes for both sides.
