"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

It's like Saul Alinsky..

Republicans: 'They're followers of Saul Alinsky! They're using Alinsky tactics!'

Everyone else on Earth: 'Who the fark is Saul Alinsky?'

you rightwingers just haaaaaad to keep on digging, didn't you? now you've uncovered the root of it all. well, go ahead. try to stop us. the wheels have been in motion for a hundred years. do you really think you can stand in the way of destiny and history rolled up together into one massive, juggernaut? Do you really have the audacity to think that you and your puny, weakling tea party movement, with your "billions of dollars in untraceable cash used for any political ad you want to" can stand up to our tenuous connection with a hundred-year-old book? Do you really think you stand a chance against an extremely moderate conservative who has charisma of a former Harvard Law Review president? Go ahead. Fight all you like. We'll live out the destiny described in this 100-year-old obscure book, and your blood will become grease in the gears of our machine.

Expect the Black Panthers at your house shortly to take your guns, your money, and your women.

nmrsnr: DamnYankees: nmrsnr: To be fair, does this really describe Republicans, or the writers of World Net Daily? Because I haven't heard or seen any big name Republican (and Glenn Beck no longer counts) mention any of this stuff.

Give it a few months. Birtherism started the same way.

I like to continue to believe that eventually the right-leaning populace will say "this far, and no further" to the crazy things spouted from the far right. I haven't been right yet, but there has to be a stopping point, right?


Never. They really are that farking stupid.

Take a look at this actual news clip about Pedobear. (new window). That's what is living right outside our little bubble here. They believe every word of that to be true and take it very, very seriously. They're real, they're everywhere, and they probably dined on paint chips as children.

Befuddled: I'm wondering what is going to happen to the conspiracy nuts four years from now as Obama is winding down his second term and the world is still here basically unchanged and the US hasn't collapsed. The nutjobs have really invested so much into Obama that I don't know what they'll do when it becomes apparent he's not going to fulfill their fantasies and be end of everything.

That's the beauty of it - they simply make up an alternate reality in which our apparent domestic tranquility is actually an illusion, a myth promulgated by the lamestream MSM and eaten up by all the deluded sheeple. In their alternate reality, the United States actually have collapsed, and anyone capable of seeing the truth knows it.

Do you doubt me? Read some Austrian School "economics" some time, and learn that our real inflation rate is 1276%, the real unemployment rate is 96%, and the vast majority of Americans eat from garbage cans so that the elites may feast on lobster and caviar at the Waldorf Astoria.

I have this right-wing friend on Facebook, and actually we have a lot in common with movies and TV shows and stuff. But he's a crazy right-winger and always posts things from Brietbart and questions Obama's Christianity and stuff. So naturally I'm drunk all the time and rip into his posts without grace or honor. Then he gets offended at me, and tells me to get laid and step away from the bottle, which are both fine advices I guess. But anyway I wonder, why would you post radical right-wing stuff on Facebook and then get offended that some drunken crazy might flip out on it?

From Amazon's reader reviews:

If you haven't figured out how the progressive mind works yet you must read this book. It was one of woodrow wilson's favorite books, and if you know what a peice garbage he was you'll have to read this book. One thing though you might have a hard time getting throuh this book. It is just horribly written. If this book was written today I don't think he could get it published.

A terribly written book that would be incapable of being published today, but is a must read. Neat!

The fact that the far right associates "czars" with Soviet communism is hilarious.

Of course, there's a simple explanation for it: They're really, really dumb.

Birtherism started with Hillary Clinton.


If that's true my regard for Mrs. Clinton just went through the roof. A brilliant tactic!


But I thought this was the blueprint for destroying America?

Let me tell you this, friend - I've worked in retail. There is NO bottom level for stupid from the general public. It's asymptotic at best, and exponential decline at worst.

Lot's of flags, martial music and persecution of the liberal media!

And written by a real author!


I was thinking something a bit more modern, but it appears to be what the leadership is looking for...
