The Cult of Bush!!!

[LiberalEconomist]

Like many of you, I have friends and relatives who behave as they normally do but have become stubborn in their support of Bush. These are people who normally vote split ticket, and have voted Democratic in the past. I don't know these people anymore. Who the hell has taken over their bodies? They appear the same but their souls have changed. My God! It is like dealing with the Pod People. They are goddamned cultists. Bush is like Jim Jones/David Koresh and he is feeding them the Koolaid.

1. My grandma's been brainwashed also

She is a very nice, liberal minded lady living by herself in an apartment, and thinks Shrub will protect her from "bad guys". I try and talk her out of it, but it's no use. It's like talking to a wall.

2. Take a look at the growth and multiplicity of these kinds of posts on DU!

3. My family were always far right wing.

Now they're even worse.

4. If they choose to vote for Kerry, they then must admit they were wrong

about the Iraq war. This would cause them to feel responsible for the unnecessary deaths of over 1000 soldiers. They are unconsciously unwilling to take on such responsibility. Hence, their cult like behavior.

5. Good thing they're a small and getting smaller

minority.

I don't care what they believe so long as their cult
leader is out of the White House.

7. I think someone should examine the Pat Robertson channel

for ????? sub-liminials ????????? flashing lights ?????????? who knows what.

I once started reading a book about experiments and brainwashing by the government, became utterly disgusted, couldn't finish it, gave it away.

8. My logical guess.

Bush is so brainless that in order to function, he has to feed off of the brain power of his supporters, rendering them mindless zombies to do his bidding.

9. The sick part

is that it is your loved ones who are walking around like political zombies. I just get the feeling that if I keep up disputing with them they will point their fingers at me and let out a high pitch screem (see "Invasion of the Body Snatchers").

11. There needs to be some sort of nationwide deprogramming

initiative. These people are almost as far gone as the Hale Bop group
that killed themselves while waiting for a passing comet to beam them up. We are talking loony tunes here, way outside the realm of logical
animal behavior.

12. Tell me about it.

They've got my entire family, save for my father.

I know I'm right, but what worries me is... how bad does it have to get before they snap out of it and I can say "I told you so?"

:argh:

14. It's like the member

of the Ellen Jamesian Society in "the World According to Garp" who, when Garp attended his own mother's funeral (in drag/disguise), could only point out and screech out "AARP!" because she had cut out her own tongue for "politics."

10. brainwash

Considering how Faux and Rash are filling the air everyday and every year with trash, I am surprised that there are still so many Democrats.

13. satire

Some satire to give bush fans

Some Bush supporters have taken the view that God had a hand in the appointment of George Bush as our president. And the VP has said that if we do not vote for him, it will be our fault if we get attacked again. I thought I would set the record straight.

I have officially joined the lame America first crowd. I have joined Pat Roberson and Jerry Falwell in their belief that we are getting just what we deserve. They blamed 911 on all those Americans that they love to hate. They said ‘you helped this happen’ to all those that they do not like. They seem to feel that God was sending us a message. Perhaps He was sending us a message, although not the one that Jerry and Pat thought. I think God was sending us a message that he was unhappy with the current leadership of his chosen country, the good old USA! It is clear to me that God is sending us another message. It is time for America to wake up and listen before it is too late! Florida and the whole USA are getting a warning.
With the first two hurricanes God sent to smite Florida, He has made His views perfectly clear. God is unhappy with people using His name for political purposes. He is unhappy with those who would sin in His name. He is unhappy with the leadership of Florida and the USA. With the paths of the first two storms, God has marked a big “X” across the state of Florida. Now hurricanes Ivan and Jeanne is have hit. Others may be coming as well! Florida, and America is paying the price for all those election shenanigans that gave us our current President. Plus, God is warning us of all those dirty tricks that first brother Jeb is planning, and is already playing, to steal another election! Intimidating black voters, trying to get blacks but not Hispanics removed from the voter rolls, voting machines with no paper trails, hidden software that no one can check. It is no coincidence that you can't use electronic voting machines when God has cut down the power lines power! God is going to make sure every vote is counted, and not by Diebold! Every right-thinking American needs to understand the signs from God and act the way He wants them to! That is, to throw out his enemy, the Anti-Christ, George W Bush! Now I know a lot of you are thinking I'm crazy, but the signs are clear. You don't think that the Anti-Christ is going to come down to earth with horns, pitchfork and a red cape do you? He is going to fool all those who think God is on their side only to find out that they are on the side of the Anti-Christ!

We all know that the holy-rollers are the easiest for the anti-Christ to fool. They fawn over the Anti-Christ as he preaches hate, lies and intolerance. They swell up, like hogs being fattened for slaughter, in their self-righteousness. Looking down on those who do not share their conviction, they gloat in their perceived holier-than-thou superiority. The real Christ preached love. The Anti-Christ preaches hate. Being the master of lies, he has fooled the “true believers” once again. Look at all the holy rollers who followed, and sent gobs of money to Jimmy and Tammy Baker, not to mention Jimmy Swaggart! It is a well known fact that the anti-Christ will come from the world of politics. The Left Behind series points to the UN and an anti-Christ of liberal Democratic persuasion, but that would be too easy! The real Anti-Christ will aim for the heart of power in the world today, and fool all those so called believers. He will not look to the UN but to the USA to gain power. After all, who has the most bombs, guns and WMD?

God has spoken clearly! All of us right-thinking American Christians must rise up against the evil in our mist. The imposter who has stolen our cause, to use it to corrupt our country! Does not the Bible say, “Thou shall not lie?” It does not say except about WMD, 911, Iraq, every vote was counted, tax cuts, no child left behind, or our military service! Does it not say thou shall not kill? I've never seen anything in the bible about collateral damage being acceptable.

When election is stolen and democracy is subverted this will lead the way for the Anti-Christ to gain complete power over the USA and thus the world! When the last best hope for the world is in his hands, the rest of the world will fall like dominos. Repent America! On November 2, you can vote with God or against God; the choice is yours!

But it is not too late! Copy this and send it to your friends! And remember the pen is mightier than the sword, but the Internet satire is faster!
