Why Isn't Cheney Involved? Oh Yeah, We've Already Got Enough Dicks

[livejournal.com profile] unclelumpy points out this... lessee, what's the right word? Asinine? Moronic? Wish-fulfilling? Jingoistic? Pathetic little fantasy featuring Sean "If I Only Had A Brain" Hannity, G. Gordon "A Heart" Liddy, and Oliver "Da Noive" North as leaders of "an underground group of bio-mechanically enhanced conservatives" trying to thwart Usama bin Laden in 2021.

Words do not fail me, by any means, but half of them are basically just hearty, derisive laughter, and most of the rest frankly have to do with the delusions, sociopathy, and penis sizes of these flakes. Except for my lament that Larry Elmore, an artist I like and respect, did the cover. Sigh.

Probably about the same time that the religious-right-wingnuts decided that despite the fact that over 90% of the country is Christian, Christians are still being persecuted in America.

It's become impossible to argue with them, too, because they aren't making any fucking sense. When someone's argument is about as logically comprehensible as "fleegle nawda zoom", how do you argue with that? What can you possibly say to something that is utterly devoid of rational thought?

Opposing someone else's right to shove religion down your throat is clearly trampling on his pwecious widdle wiberties.

I strongly reccomend reading "Coercion" (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/157322829X/qid=1122581787/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_sbs_1/002-0783202-1061627?v=glance&s=books&n=507846) by Douglas Rushkoff. In it he notes we have become a marketing-obsessed culture, and that market-think has infiltrated the way we react.

A lot of the Neocons and the Theocons are like this. They got handed a sales pitch. They learn to follow the sales pitch. They repeat it. They're replicants, marketdroids. They're the Amway of politics and religion.

Admittedly like all pyramid schemes it can't last, but the results are ugly in the meantime.

"Christians are still being persecuted in America."

Sure as long as you stop trying to tear down every cross on public land and preventing them from worshiping on public land then maybe you would be right. Other wise your just blind.
