Arguing with the Brainwashed
Conclub ^ | 05-03-11 | Cultural Limits

Posted on 05/03/2011 8:50:02 PM PDT by TheConservativeCitizen

Don’t. Just don’t. It’s not worth the heartburn.

It was a great temptation, though, Sunday night when the most satisfying news of the current round of Islam vs. Everybody Else started breaking. Osama bin Laden wasn’t just captured, he was dead and the U.S. had the body. Okay, kudos to the person who gave the order to go in: the current resident of the White House. The vast majority of thinking and fair Americans out there have no problem with that.

It’s the rest of what the brainwashed have to say that’s a problem.

Like everyone else who grows up in the U.S. of A., Cultural Limits (that’s me) has a circle of family, friends and acquaintances that runs the entire spectrum from hard-core leftist vegan nutcases to suspicious, gun under the pillow, bury the cash in the back yard nutcases. It’s really rather interesting that the ones more toward the bury the cash in the back yard side are more patient when it comes to actually gathering facts to be sure they are correct than the holier than thou lefties are. That surfaced with a vengance Sunday evening.

Nothing has demonstrated the power of brainwashing more than the blind loyalty to the current resident of the White House I see in these people. I mean nothing. “This happened on his watch, so he gets the credit. ALL the credit. Not like that “stupid” Bush, who couldn’t find him. Take THAT, you conservatives.” One normally fairly mild mommy complained that so much credit was going to soldiers (I didn’t want to break it to her that S.E.A.L.S. are in the Navy, but, to be fair, she didn’t grow up in a defense household like I did.) and not nearly enough to Obama. She didn’t say a word about the CIA.

Trying not to laugh and cry at the same time – or respond to the nitwits who apparently have no clue how covert ops work or that Obama didn’t even appoint his own defense secretary – is not an easy task. I mean seriously, are people determined to worship the man going to listen when you explain that: the intelligence alone took almost four years to gather (there was a CONSTITUTIONALLY mandated election during that time in which W was no longer eligible for the office); no defense policy has been put in place by the current regime in Washington and they are still using “stupid” Bush’s (it’s always a temptation to ask how many of them are fighter pilots or have an MBA from Harvard, but that just gets you nowhere); Pakistan, an “ally,” didn’t quite tell us the whole truth; the dreaded prison camp interrogations produced the first pieces of info that led to the raid; or that Obama didn’t face the bullets or do the shooting.

Yeah, don’t bother. None of that seems to matter to them. Listening, reason and sensible deduction has been removed from their political thought, if you can call it that. Regurgitation is closer. Here’s to hoping it doesn’t doom us next November.

So THAT'S why he's never at the White Hut -- he's out doing field work to track down America's hidden enemies! My hat's off to ya, Bam!

I think what is so frustrating is that the left fails to engage in critical thinking.
I thought they were all about ‘speaking truth to power’, but they never self reflect.
I worry about their tendency to worship cult leaders and their lemming-like reactions. No matter what leftist site you’d visit, they have the same talking points.
My mother knew of a time and place where such occurred and no good came from it.

What's with you sicko lib symps? No, everyone doesn't include the enemy in their circle of friends. Speak for yourself, moron, and then GTH!

Obama gave the order (or so it is reported) to execute a wondrously planned assault, undergirded by intelligence gathering and operational capabilities that are in place only because of policies and programs initiated and/or endorsed and supported by his predecessor, whose name Obama deigned not to mention in his announcement of the successful outcome of the mission.
Let not the rest of us forget President George W. Bush.

I suppose living here in the People’s Republic of Massholechusettstan has given me (forced me) to identify and understand the enemy.

At this point it has been 2 days since OBL’s so called death.

Obama sat on this for 16 hours Not out of indecisiveness but because OBL is still alive and in custody at Gitmo.

obama was trying to come up with the best lie and try to milk the polls for some good numbers.

Thats why the WH keeps flouting the hard drives and documents obtained in the compound.

Evidently not every body was on the same sheet of music because the crap coming out of the white house keeps changing from hour to hour.

OBL was not armed and gave up with out a fight.

OBL is being interrogated as we speak in Gitmo.

After he has spilled his guts then the cia will spill his guts and we will never know.

Flame on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May 3, 2011

Someone with photoshop skills needs to remake this with Obama on the golf course, since that was actually what he was doing on the day of the mission.

Only flame I have is he’s probably not in Gitmo. I’m guessing Osama is alive, in custody, but somewhere in Western Asia. If Osama is alive a lot of the issues are explained like no video proof (they had helmet cam’s-where’s ther kill shot?); no independant verification of the body; no quick turn around on the photographs (still being created); no prisoners (his wife would be an intel assett as would some of the other ‘wounded’); vague stories that are inconsistent. I hope I’m right. Milk the turd and then cap his ass.

We’ve all seen that photo of him and his staff wherever they were watching the hit on OBL go down. Notice how small he looks, his head is below anybody else in that shot, and he just looks PO’d. Sitting down there in the corner, such a small petty man, in his golf shirt.

Titty baby. That’s our President.
