The BHO camp have been vigorous exponents of what the shrinks call learned helplessness.

That is the principle reason for the incessant media pep rally, the primitive chants and crowd gestures, the electronic stagecraft surrounding BHO, the by turns inane/insinuating/accusatory/defeatist trolling and even the beastial bellowing when they passed HealthControl in the House.
Their principle aim right now is the utter demoralization of any political rival, including other leftist or Democratic threats. There is a real art, science, and almost religious component to propaganda. This effort is a very sophisticated amalgamation of old and new techniques that is far beyond the very limited intellectual capacity of BHO. He is a puppet messiah, who I believe is being groomed for an apotheosis he might not care for.
The immediate aim however, is to convince you to shut up, sit down and despair of your own resources, perceptions and morality. This has worked wonderfully in the ghetto; this is the mainstreaming of ghetto despair and dependency into the nation at large. They want to break you from the inside out, rather than the outside in. This is the principal difference between this movement and the Nazis or Bolsheviks.
These people right now are the most insidious threat to American liberty that we have ever faced in the history of the republic.
If you give up, they don’t have to take you down.
But you are not going to give up.
You are going to take them down.
We are all going to take them down, as they would put it:
BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY
I am the descendant of American born Loyalists...
The Patriots fought in jungle warfare to rid themselves of a king who was a tyrant...
The Loyalists fought just as hard to keep him...
Has the guts and determination been bred out of the collective American soul...
Very interesting.
