This is wild:
I was watching a multi-part video of John McCain, putting a whipping on Barack Obama at Rick Warren's "Faith Forum," when - out of the blue - that proceeding stopped, and whoever posted it online edited the video to give me (surprise!) some anti-Right-wing propaganda instead (above). Now, I'm sure, whoever created this video expects me to be aghast at the lunacy that followed - goofy Ron Paul, spouting nonsense about an oncoming American fascist movement, and some ugly religious indoctrination from that despicable documentary "Jesus Camp" - but, unfortunately, the editing just didn't have the intended effect,...
Instead, it just reminded me of the equally bizarre behavior of the post 9/11 Left in this country.
Think about it: why would a Leftist switch to propaganda if not to attempt to manipulate me?
I tuned-in to watch a debate, but this person decided his/her political views were more important - important enough that he/she would knowingly lure me in with one thing so he/she could subject me to another.
That's underhanded and wrong, but this person doesn't care about right or wrong; he/she cared only about positioning me so I'll be subjected to their nasty agenda. That's extremely bad politics, to say the least. What else am I to make of it? Well, I'm about to tell you:
First of all, by attempting to con me - by lying to me about what I'm watching - they've insulted me to no end; obviously thinking I'm too dumb to understand what they're doing or to have a mind of my own.
You're all nuts as far as this atheist is concerned, and (since the Left thinks of itself as the antidote to religious madness) such acts of "spiritual" and political cultism are just as grotesque, if not more so.
"He seems really concerned that Democrats are going to ruin everything to spite Republicans because everyone they pick has cult friends.
I don't see how this is any more alarming than Republicans touting leaders who want to rule by the Bible and other totally irrational and sickening religious views."
That quote about me, from someone on Live Journal, is disgusting because it shows the extreme relativism Leftists have fallen into: they don't mind "fighting fire with fire" - even when they know what they're doing is wrong.
Even when they know cultism is crazy. How is this an improvement?
At some point, the Left (showing an education has been completely wasted on them) decided the "totally irrational and sickening" beliefs of cults are just the thing to fight religion - and potentially turn America around - like any of that makes more sense than Christian zealotry.
I mean, since when did cultism bring anything positive into the world?
What? Did Charley Manson's story get a make-over when I wasn't looking? David Koresh's? Jim Jones's? Heaven's Gate's? The lying Maharishi? Those idiot hippies who tried to levitate the Pentagon?
What's happened to you people?
If you ask me, you're all going completely insane.
