Not one single thread is showing even a semblance of fear. Thoughts?
Nor do stampeding lemmings.
When Reagan swept against Mondale, a prominent name in media - I just forget who it was - said "I can't believe it! This is impossible! NO ONE I KNOW VOTED FOR REAGAN"
This is one of the reasons I have no problem having liberal friends ... living in a bubble is not good for being connected to reality.
With respect to those who died, I would liken DU right now to the Space Shuttle Challenger at take off. Those on board had no knowledge of a problem with an "O" ring. No pun intended, but kind of funny ...
Anyway, they don't know. Liberalism has always found it's only success in collective hypnosis. They aren't just wrong, they exist on a different plane of consciousness. In this case, it is not a higher level of consciousness based on enlightenment, but a lower one, characterized by deceit, acceptance of whatever the surface says. ... and of course, this is the primary thing God warns us against - mistaking the manifest for the true.
It's just another way of looking at the truism "all liberals are either ignorant or evil."
The evil hypnotize the ignorant. That's the dynamic - that's the 2 liberal types. DU is really just a mental institution for the permanently hypnotized. As some of their cortexes begin re-firing, primarily in response to irreconcilable discrepancies between reality and what they hold in their minds, they come into a semi awake stage, at which point, they become the hypnotizers - these are the thread moderators and the 'council who expels' - who believe they are taking on a leadership role in the organization, even though they are just being used by those slightly less hypnotized.
Always, always, always ... liberalism is a psychological ponzi scheme where the architectural foundation of the house of cards is hypnosis. At the very top of many levels, are the very awake ... and that is the pure 'evil' part. They disdain their fellow man, and disdain their followers more than they even disdain their opposition.
Where did they learn disdain for their fellow man? They observe themselves, hate what they see, and assume the rest of mankind is like them. If I were a liberal, I too would hate mankind.
Those are my thoughts.
Great observations, Hannibal! One of the other things I noticed..tons of “f bombs” thrown around casually. I know that doesn’t bother a lot of people, but to me..it just indicates that “down in the gutter” type of behavior. And yes..I really feel dirty after my short-lived trip to DU!
Wasn’t that NY Times film critic Pauline Kael not knowing anyone who had voted for Nixon?
I think you are correct about the “Hypnosis” part.
One of my customers REALLY loves the way I am teaching their daughter guitar. They are well-off and live in a very nice section of town.
Last week I found out that are are actually VOLUNTEERING for Obama. This, in a community that has 82 Romney Signs for every ONE Obama sign.
I tried to speak to them rationally about the state of our nation in the last four years, and they weren’t hearing any of it. I didn’t attack Zero personally, just talked facts and figures.
They looked at we with contemptuous incredulity and asked:
“YOU’RE A REPUBLICAN??????????”
Now I feel uncomfortable going to the house to teach their (very talented and sweet) little girl.
