I understand that Senators Coburn and Schumer will be sitting together in a mini-love fest for the SOTU.
I hope the rest of the Republicans will be smart enough not to be sucked into this; I'll try to reign in my optimism...:-)
I watched in amazement as one by one the opposition crumbled to support the “group think” and to be praised by the “facilitator”
(from the article ...>> The facilitator seeks to polarize the group in order to become an accepted member of the group and of the process. The desired idea is then placed on the table and individual opinions are sought during discussion. Soon, associates from the divided group begin to adopt the idea as if it were their own, and they pressure the entire group to accept their proposition.) <<.
In one of the open discussions I got the “facilitator” to admit that his job was to allow us (the school board reps and public appointed reps) to pick which type of representation “We the People” would have in the New expanded district”....I said...The fact u tell us its a State mandate, your only job is to have “We the People” pick which way We'll be executed...Hanging...firing squad or electric chair!....Great!!!...He was livid!!!...Id exposed the function of our Mandated consensus!
