If they are infiltrating, it's because their particular game or show of choice hasn't started on TV yet.
(shrug)
Don't they have chores to do?
(Of course, the current typist here is just online for half hour or so taking a small break from Saturday morning chores while the rest of the family is sleeping, and deciding "should I waste the time and go out to get some peat pots to start a veggie/herb garden in the side yard of the complex - even though we plan to be moving in a couple months - or not?)
Yeah, the infiltration made me a bit curious and I went over there to look - and it's not an easy site to navigate for the casual peruser - typical to micro managers who want to seem in control without actually dealing with uncomfortable issues or having to maintain their system in a way visitors or others can participate - should they want to.
FWIW, I've found that most die-hard self-describing "conservatives" tend to lack coping skills that would enable them to survive should they lose their "positions of power" and have to deal with life outside the artificial reality they've created for themselves. Sure seems like any conflict they perceive can only be dealt with in rather simplistic, short-attention-span terms, rather than with a viewpoint that a situation should actually be addressed at root issues and adverse issues mitigated so that the situation doesn't keep coming back and biting one's ass harder and harder each time.
Oh, dang - I've been using the big words again, treating the neo-con mindset as if I were dealing with fellow adults who have actually had to fix problems before instead of just bitching about discomforts and expecting other people to clean up the mess they made.
Real Conservatives don't run off half-assed and get into trouble in the first place - Real Conservatives understand that if one invests value into all the aspects one's project, takes into account reality and makes contingencies for "surprises" - and egos - before one starts a project, one doesn't have to deal with the fall-out.
And Real Conservatives can admit failure, work to clean up the mess they made, and start back all over - they try to understand what created the failure, they take RESPONSIBILITY for their actions as well as delegate responsibility to others for their part in a failure. To a Neo-Con - as to any other fanatical ideal or cult follower (including those who call themselves "true liberals"), failure is simply not an option that can be admitted.
And that's what I've found most telling at this particular site. As usual, it's everyone else's fault. And of course, their particular viewpoint is always right.
Ah well. Guess I gotta get off the net and wake up the twelve year old and deal with her "I'm always right, I don't have to do anything and should get everything I want, and you grown-ups are gross, slow, mean and stupid" attitude as we (hubby and I) try to get her to do her dishes and pick up her room before we can have family and relaxation time this weekend.
