Obama Hate Masks the GOP's Shakedown of the American People
Right Wing Shakedown of America

Losing the 2008 presidential election has sent the Right Wing over the edge, as their sense of presidential entitlement has been violated, and they are angry. They are angry because the government is no longer engaging as what they see as its divine role of corporate greed enablement, and to show their scorn they have decided to shakedown the American people by refusing to let the business of the country be conducted. The GOP is not just the party of GOBP, but also the party of ME.

The GOBP operates like say..…..England, with a divine ruler. A Right Wing Theocracy, only with a worse spin: the current Republican philosophy amounts to a constitutional monarchy run by divinely empowered corporations, deriving their right to rule directly from the will of God. As such, they deserve worship and are subject to no earthly authority. Only God can judge the divinely tapped and their puppets, like Sanford, Ensign, Palin, Bush. They aren’t subject to the will of the people, the rules of law or the Bible. They are exempt, as are their funders, the corporations.

.....

Now, no one has bothered to tell the Fox viewer/Tea Partier that their notions about our government are antithetical to the founders’ entire purpose and intent. But why bother? They can’t hear you and even if they could, the newly revised history book from Texas tells them otherwise. A Fox viewer lives in a bubble of anti-American rage while conversely wrapping himself in the flag. The sheer hubris of this is shocking enough to render many Americans sure that these folks must have a point, when in fact, they have been so misinformed that any point they may have is lost in the Foxtonian rhetoric of irrational hatred for their President.

......

In short, the right wing has jumped the shark of sanity.

Their collective rage, the spewing, the Internet spit, the rabidness of their self-victimization, their collective unwillingness to let in the light of reality, the secret holds, the obstructionism, the failure to bring even one idea they are willing to vote yes on to the table -– for all of these reasons, it’s time we realize we are allowing the Right wing to hold this country hostage.

2. Yes...
Hate and fear are great motivators to get people to do what you want. Convince the people that you, or in this case the republican party, it their only hope to get the country "back" from the socialist, communist, nazi's, the democrats, and you do that by using hate and fear. Fear that the country is doomed, that the democrats have caused "all" the problems, and give them a person to hate, the president, and keep the afraid by linking the democrats the the president to Hitler, the Beck tactic. Once you have their ear, you can lie to your hearts content, and they will never question what you say, no matter that the facts say otherwise. It's brainwashing, the same thing cults do, or dictator's use to keep people under their control. The sad thing is there are so many people that are easily brainwashed, and the main reason is they let fear and hate take over their thinking process, and let "others" dictate to them what to believe, how to respond, and who to hate and blame for every thing that goes wrong!

The only good thing is that people can get to much of this kind of "control" and many do come to their senses, not all but some. There will always be those who will never see the truth no matter what happens, and that is kind of sad, but that number will be small, and I really think that if the brainwashers start to go way to overboard, like Beck and Limbaugh, it will backfire on them. I have seen some who just 6 months ago would defend Beck no matter what that moron says, but now are starting to question his sanity themselves!

4. Compulsive Social Bullies are everywhere...poilice, fire, plumbers, teachers, etc
They somehow learn Bully-ism very young and stay bullies all their lives with only a few exceptions.

All the traits of Bully-ism are in their Realm....

they are born trouble makers...

they are perpetual cynics...

Of Negative Polarity....

They are Liars, Cheaters, and of nefarious bent...

We all know Bullies somewhere in our lives...family, clubs, schools, businesses, etc

But there are hardly programs to solve individuals and/or groups of Bullies...are there?

Result? A Runaway Bully avalanche in America....they all want their Freedom to do what they do...be negative and teach Neg to their children...

Worst caSE Scenario::: Bully politicians.....Bully Decisions are most likey not the best of decisions...IE W BUSH

note...gonna post elsewhere in GD

7. GOP has two items on its agenda
1) Continue or accelerate the flow of money, resources and power to the top.

and

2) Engage in policies, politics and pettiness that distract the public from agenda item #1.

12. That article could be describing some people on DU as well.
Hate is an ugly thing, regardless of what direction your hatred is spewing.

25. Hopefully
Edited on Sun Jun-27-10 08:52 AM by LatteLibertine
we will repeatedly remind the public of their actual record when they had the majority because they are going to market spending cuts and deficit reduction to the masses.
