You can be batshit crazy for only too long before reality intrudes.
Edited on Fri Nov-03-06 07:57 AM by Pacifist Patriot
Anyone else feel like they are witnessing a right-wing implosion and the cusp of a reversal? I'm finally beginning to feel like the insanity of the far right is rapidly reaching critical mass. There will always be a percentage of extremist nutjobs running around, but I really do think I'm seeing some previously brainwashed folks begin to reunite with the real world. Hallelujah!

ETA: Yes, the erroneous grammatical construct in the headline is deliberate.

1. They are masters at not letting reality intrude.
One of the yahoos I work with was just yesterday saying how the media is a puppet of the Democratic Party. Like it is somehow the media's fault that "his" politicians and spiritual leaders are a bunch of crooks and pedophiles.

3. it is their fault... ;)
you know - in the average right winger's mind, it's not the crime that's so bad, it's the time. They never seem to regret anything until they get exposed, then there's usually some spin before they admit anything.

So is it wrong of Bush to put nuclear secrets on the internet? Of course not! It's the fault of the damn "liberal media" for letting us know about it.

excuse me while I go vomit somewhere.

2. Those who finally come to their senses must be allowed to gracefully acknowledge ...
their lapses and be welcomed into the world of reality. We do not want to make them feel guilty or they will become defensive, thus exacerbating progress.

5. You're a nicer person than I am...I'd like them to REPENT, publicly
and apologize for all their past exacerbations. But you're right, of course.

7. Sheeple losing their shepherds right and left.
Some of them are going to have a very hard time coping.

8. You can only drink kool-aide for so long
before you either die from diabetes or can't stand the taste of it anymore.
