My friends who voted for Obama in 2008, will vote for him again. One of them volunteered at Obie’s inauguration, and told me she will do so again in 2013. Another one has been unemployed for the last several years. She claims her problems started under President Bush and that the reason she is still unemployed is that those heartless Republicans in Congress are fighting all of Obama’s programs. She actually hopes when Obama is re-elected, he will “do away with Congress” so he can accomplish everything he sets out to do without further restriction.
These are true believers. I just can’t talk about anything political with them. I tried to explain to one of them about the death panels under Obamacare. I was told this was propaganda perpetrated by Fox News and the Republicans, and that “they will never happen.” It’s frightening because these friends are well educated. They have the internet so they should be able to do their own research, but they won’t. Whatever lies Obama tells them, they believe without question.
I hear ya. It really is an incurable disorder. My liberal sister and her husband were visiting over the Memorial Day weekend. We got into the inevitable political discussion. She thinks the stimulus didn’t work because he didn’t use enough money. If re-elected he can put another trillion into the economy and really get it going. They are educated but obviously not in economics. And her husband supports socialism because that’s the essence of the Bible. I can’t wait to hear from them Nov. 7
Why do you have friends with dangerous totalitarian impulses. They'll rat you out to the thought police in less than a second.
IMHO, it is a spiritual issue as well as a political one. Intelligence, education, and readily available facts have little to do with this deluded state...
"The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." - 2 Thessalonians: 9-12
