Omigosh! It IS a cult!!

[No Exit]

"It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can't get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile."

The above... (what to call it?) cult dogma was found by me courtesy of this blog:

Okay, all you godless libruls, sing along with me in praise of the GENIUS! "Starry starry niiiight...."

[graywarrior]

1. I'm afraid to go there

I made a new year's resolution last night to not look upon the face of bush.

[Somawas]

6. Why everytime I gaze upon the vapid visage of Bush

I kind of see a cow. The empty eyes on a being with enough intelligence to sustain itself, but one that has probably never had a thought beyond food, water and sleep. And I wonder how a mojority of Americans chose a cow to be their leader.

[LizMoonstar]

13. your typo made me think 'moo-jority' n/t

[No Exit]

17. A bunch of sheep electing a cow... who'd a thought??

:shrug:

The whole thing has the feel of some Chick-fil-A ad gone terribly awry...

[No Exit]

11. Thank you for my first "LOL" of the day.

[acmavm]

2. Nope, already have a headache this morning. (Not from drinking, I

babysat last night. I should have been drinking.)

Anyway, that first statement was stupid enough to last me for a few days. How can people that stupid survive? How can they not hang themselves when tying their tennis shoes? What useful purpose can they serve?

[No Exit]

12. That's why they have tennis shoes with velcro straps instead of laces!

You probably have not noticed that in Wal-mart, they have a special "GOP Shoe Section" in which all the tennis shoes fasten with those velcro straps, instead of dangerous laces...:-)

And now you know the REST of the story!

[DELUSIONAL]

3. of course it is a cult

in 2000 years will he be the new christ? Will his mom be the virgin who gave birth??

[NoFederales]

5. Oh shit, you just gagged me...Will his mom be the virgin who gave birth??

Yet another origin thread for the fundies to wrestle with?

Best regards,

NoFederales

[DELUSIONAL]

21. Anything to help the cause -- and get them "raptured"

<sarcasm off>

[No Exit]

14. Good God! If the original Jesus had been this stupid, he'd have

accidentally crucified HIMSELF!

[Jade Fox]

4. "he can't get anyone to notice".....

Oh yeah, hardly anyone pays attention to the President of the United States!

We are paying attention; that's the problem. Anyone who thinks Bush is brilliant has passed completely into living their projected fantasies full time, and is no longer in touch with reality.

[Skittles]

23. they are too busy noticing what a dipshit he is

:7

[graywarrior]

7. See what happens when you add "Jesus" to your repitoire?

You become the golden calf.

[xchrom]

8. yeah -- brilliantly stupid.

[rurallib]

9. "A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance"

If that is true there is a lot of brilliance going untapped in the zoos of America. Maybe we are looking in the wrong place for leadership?

[No Exit]

15. "I went to the animal fair, The birds and the beasts were there,

The big baboon, by the light of the moon,
Was combing his auburn hair,
The monkey he got drunk,
And fell on the elephant's trunk,
The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees,
And that was the end of the monk'!"

(Ever heard that children's song?)

By GEORGE, I think you're onto something!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. >doink< (brain explodes)

In what fucked-up parallel universe does Bush have an IQ exceeding that of a hamster?

I am ceaselessly amazed at the yawning chasm between BushWorld, which is ruled by a benevolent genius, and the real world in which at least some people manage to notice that the putative President of the United States is a vapid sociopath of stunningly mediocre intellect.

Jesus on a Vespa! I think I'll just go back to bed now. Somebody please wake me on 1/20/09.

[No Exit]

16. I DUNNO what fucked-up parallel universe, but...

we're in it!!:scared: :wow:

Right in the middle of a sci-fi movie, here we are!!

[Clark2008]

25. Jesus is a Mod?

He is if he's riding a Vespa!

:hi:

That made me laugh. :)

18. chauncy gardner

idiot savant or just garden-variety idiot?

19. The insane asylums are fill with those kids of people. The rest

are working for *.

20. O...M...G..!!! In Texas.....

.....we have been watching this COKE SNIFFING, BOOZE GUZZLING, IDIOT for YEARS now!! IF he had a brain, and that is a BIG IF, he sniffed it away YEARS AGO!!

24. "Hyperbolic?"

hy·per·bol·ic (hī'pər-bŏl'ĭk) also hy·per·bol·i·cal (-ĭ-kəl)
adj.
Mathematics.
Of, relating to, or having the form of a hyperbola.
Of or relating to a geometric system in which two or more lines can be drawn through any point in a plane and not intersect a given line in the plane.
Of or relating to a hyperbolic function: hyperbolic cosine.

hy·per·bo·le (hī-pûr'bə-lē ) n.
A figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis or effect, as in I could sleep for a year or This book weighs a ton.

What a HUGH MORAN!!!!111 I'm SERIES!!!111!!!!
:rofl:

ON EDIT: OK. I stand corrected. I see now where sometimes hyperbolic is used to refer to Hyperbole. But this guy is still a HUGH MORAN.

[Contrary1]

27. Not only a HUGH MORAN...

this clown is also a litigation lawyer:

"John H. Hinderaker is a lawyer with a nationwide litigation practice. For more than ten years Hinderaker has written with his former law partner Scott Johnson on public policy issues including income inequality, income taxes, campaign finance reform, affirmative action, welfare reform, and race in the criminal justice system. Both Hinderaker and Johnson are fellows of the Claremont Institute. Their articles have appeared in National Review, The American Enterprise, American Experiment Quarterly, and newspapers from Florida to California. The Claremont Institute has archived many of their articles here.

Mr. Hinderaker lives with his family in Apple Valley, Minnesota. He is a graduate of Dartmouth College and Harvard Law School."

In other words...he's an OXYMORAN.

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

26. What struck me in watching the Sunday shows was how much lying

was still being done. Lying or statements based on delusions.

How much things are slanted in favor of *.

A question like 'would history view what * did going to Iraq be seen as a warning to those who would attack us' was taken seriously and answered.

I was thinking, "a warning that if someone attacks us we will attack someone else?"

There is a local show that follows MTP in the morning, and they have local journalists on it. One is EJ Montini, who appeared on the Al Franken show when he was in Phoenix.

They were asked on a scale of 1 to 10 how would they rate 2005 for *.

One guy said 4, the next said 3, Montini said "lower."

On This Week without Stephanopalous they discuss * like he is any other war time Pres.

Mostly only we libruls see so very clearly that this isn't isolated incidents, but a dangerous pattern of lawlessness.

George Will was annoying. He likes to say how conservatives aren't supposed to be nice, but they are supposed to be competent. But Katrina showed them to be neither.

Great George Will. Keep saying it, is there some bleepin' virtue in not being nice? And do you really think that conservatives have an exclusive patent on being competent? You are one deluded puppy if you believe that!

And he said conservatives like to lose and play the victim. Then he said Dems like to lose too.

It reminds me of some really stupid, pointless bickering between siblings.

Sheesh. Grow up. This is for real.

Even listening to MTP replay Ehrlichman from 50 years ago reminded me that Republicans haven't always talked almost exclusively in talking points that bore me to sleep and inattention.

I mean he dodged questions and the usual, but there is a big difference between that and the same phrase being used over and over and over by the right wing neocon thugs.

For some reason, listening to Condi is even worse than listening to * these days. I'd have to get ear plugs if she ever became Pres.

It isn't a personal attack on her, it is the demeanor of hers that belies her curtain of lies and deceit and fast talking that is convincing to some people.

I swear there will come a day, and it won't necessarily even be that far into the future when you won't be able to find anyone who will admit to having voted for *, let alone supporting all the lies, deceits, crimes, etc.

I don't seem to have words I really wish to communicate to "them" anymore, only words and actions for our side. They don't listen anyhow.

I didn't go to the link given, either. After Reagan was elected I used to say that I thought it was a result of mass psychosis of the electorate here in the US.

It is even worse now. It's an orchestrated and fully exploited mass psychosis which thankfully some Repugs are emerging from to join we who dwell in the "reality based community."

[NoFederales]

29. "...orchestrated and fully exploited mass psychosis..." says it all. How

have we become so inured to "multiple realities?" I swear if I hear one more person say 'that something isn't impossible, just improbable' my head will explode. A small pet peeve, perhaps, but that seed of stupidity is sprouting and I cannot swing a scythe fast enough, nor tirelessly.

Best regards,

NoFederales

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

30. 'so inured to "multiple realities?" ', a pet peeve I share!

There are some things that will be perceived differently by different people.

However in many areas there simply IS reality, not different versions of it.

To me it is the last refuge of a criminal, perpetrator, crook, to claim the possibility of multiple realities where there are established facts.

As has become a common saying, anyone is entitled to their own opinion, they are NOT entitled to their own FACTS.

Thanks for your response NoFederales!

31. Yes,this whole nightmare is "The Emperor's New Clothes"--on steroids

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

32. Bwah Hah Hah!

:rofl:

You got that right "The Emperor's New Clothes"--on steroids

[No Exit]

42. Yeah, but it irks me that "The Emperor's New Clothes" is now

a horror tale, instead of a bedtime story! Now I can't even tell it to anyone under 18!

[Raksha]

28. Huh? Who are they talking about? n/t

[No Exit]

33. LOL! I'll give you a hint: he never was in a mental hospital, and he

never cut off his ear and mailed it to a prostitute, but there are those of us who think his doing both those things would be an improvement...

[Jim__]

34. Whatever bush may be, John is an idiot.

Here's John's take on bush's emissions control treaty:

The pact's stated goal is to cut production of "greenhouse gases" in half by the end of the century.

What distinguishes this plan from the Kyoto protocol is that it will actually lead to a major reduction in carbon emissions! This substitution of practical impact for well-crafted verbiage stunned and infuriated European observers.

Is that by the end of the 21st century John? Whoops, too late. Better crack out some new genius ideas, eh John?

[McCamy Taylor]

35. Probably a front for an illegal money laundering PAC. It is too stupid

to actually attract any followers and I've never seen anyone wear the merchandise. A reporter should check out the attorneys/authors. I'll bet they are up to the eyeballs in money from shady sources, and they keep the website so they can point to it if anyone asks what is their groups ideology.

[greiner3]

36. That was a comedy site... right? n/t

37. No, just a bunch of neo-cons from the Claremont Institute

just another mouth for the administration of Fearless Leader:

some background on them:

http://www.hatecrime.org/subpages/hatespeech/claremont.html


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claremont_Institute

Claremont Institute
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Jump to: navigation, search

The Claremont Institute is a conservative think tank based in Claremont, California. The institute was founded in 1979 at the Claremont Colleges. Its leading scholar is Harry V. Jaffa, a professor at Claremont McKenna College and the Claremont Graduate University. Its current Vice President is Thomas Krannawitter, a recent graduate of the college.

The institute publishes a quarterly literary magazine entitled the Claremont Review of Books and as publications of its own, mostly Jaffa's works. It is known for espousing a legal philosophy called Declarationism whereby the United States Declaration of Independence is treated as a legal document and component of the government's organizing doctrines along side the United States Constitution. Most of the Institute's members are followers of the teachings of Leo Strauss including Jaffa, who was a student of Strauss.

The Institute calls its neo-conservative philosophy "Claremont Conservatism." This philosophy encompasses the Institute's interpretations of historical figures, particularly the American Founding Fathers, Abraham Lincoln, and Winston Churchill.<1> Uncommon for a conservative organization, the Claremont Institute tends to reject the constitutional philosophy of strict constructionism and often publishes material that is critical or derisive of conservative strict constructionists such as Robert Bork, William Rehnquist, and Antonin Scalia.<2> <3>

According to some Institute writers, their legal philosophy is closer to that of Clarence Thomas, although outside of the Institute Thomas is widely considered a strict constructionist in the model of Scalia.<4>

The Institute has a variety of nicknames, some derisive and others embraced willingly, including Super-Hawks, Jaffanese Americans, Claremonsters, Lincoln Conservatives, and Claremontistas.<5> <6>

39. I used to live in Claremont

I once saw a T-shirt that had "Claremont" on the front and "Pretentious" on the back.....that pretty much sums it up for many of the people there.

38. "I'll Talk & Walk Alone"

Sung to the tune of "Beautiful Dreamer" by Stephen Foster ...

Born in a whore house
raised like a slave

Fucking and fighting

Knocking out windows
knocking down doors

Calling George W. Bush
a chicken shit whore

40. I would like to have that on a Hallmark card.

It's a very nice sentiment!

The title reminded me of some song I've heard, I think it goes, "And He walks with me, and He talks with me..." Can't remember the rest, but I capitalized the "he" b/c you see, it's one of those Jesus songs.

[depakid]

43. Clearly delusional

Why bother.

Of course, it could be thickly veiled sarcasm or satire. Hard to tell these days.
