What interests me most are comments from loyal Salon readers remarking on Paglia and Palin.
These are people who are in their own minds, Gods.
Their capacity for self delusion and projection without cognitive dissonance is a key psychological dynamic of Totalitarianism. They cannot be swayed. They cannot be reasoned with. Their intellectual abilities seem singularly focused on exalting themselves while demeaning and diminishing everyone disinclined to think exactly as they do.
Paglia's mistake in her Salon pieces is in thinking that the “Progressive” left is anything more than an intractable monolith of group think, given life by the visious mangods whose minds resonate on one frequency only.
Spodefly,
One thing is certain - you are very well spoken. I do not have the ability to compliment your thoughts, but I’m afraid your message is telling us WHY this country will not ever be what it once was.
The proofs are quite obvious. The gullable masses follow the fad (zerO), are droned by the brainwashing media, have not an incling to pursue any form of research (how dare you question the fad!), are mezmerized by H’wood glitz despite the coming poverty for themselves and their children.
My gut feelings are that the college age ‘intelligence’ group made the difference for O. Their ‘intelligence’ is the greatest proof of all - that they do not care where this country came from and certainly do not care what they just invited into their own futures. They in general - do not care about religion, or if you have one ‘it’s all good’ including Islam which is not even a religion, but a political idealogy that WILL come knocking on their door at some point. Only then when they are told to “submit” will the lights come on for them.
Hmmmmmm - so what have we as parents failed to teach these intelligent young minds all awash in the Big ZerO fad? We need to take a good hard look at ourselves and the complacency we’ve taught our children....now voting age. The snowball is rolling....
A fraudulent (hiding birth certificate and more) Muslim is about to sit in the Big Chair surrounded by salivating politicians and media.
We, the baby boomers and our children have let it happen.
Your incredible description Spodefly, speaks more of the masses than some of us will want to admit - due to our lack of responsibility for ever having allowed it to get there.
It is highly evident for anyone who can spell the word ‘research’ and has the ability to add simple facts together - that O’s ORIGINAL birth certificate contains information he is not, and cannot now, allow the entire world to see. He is now trapped by a door he volunteered to enter years ago. Further evidence is the university admissions forms that are sealed. They too, prove something O cannot reveal. The Big Lie is just beginning.
Yet if he is allowed to deceive the world from the presidents office, not one signature, or law or treaty or speech will be legitimate.
The ultimate in “surfing through”.
I read all these posts and yet there are only a handful who are voicing any of this beyond these blogs! This is the complacency I’m talking about!
Not Drudge, not Foxnews - NO ONE is speaking up!
Many have already given in and say ‘let it die’. Are we so willing to concede to this great lie?
