ORIGINAL: FullfigRIMAAM1 I don't know who is worshiping Obama. I don't know why some conservatives and haters insist on shoving that word down people's throats, just because those of us who think the best man for the job won, are happy about this occasion. M Neither do I, MAAM. What I have concluded is that the conservatives in question can't stand the fact that none of their leaders have ever aroused such a movement in the population that Obama has. They know it's not worship: they hate that it's not worship. They would like for it to be worship though, but they know how much the American people have grown-up: they are no longer easily manipulated. Gone are the days of the Karl Rove magic tricks. People have their eyes wide-open, and there is no illusion over the fact that Obama and his team are fallible, but there hasn't been such hope and optimim in a long time either - especially in the face of such economic devastation - and that really, really grates, for some of those who did not vote for the man... That is a damn insightful post, Kitten. The Bushevik Cult of Personality is based on the ideology of the right. The Obama "movement" is based on people getting together to try and make a better country. The impotent rage of the Right is palpable. They only wish that one of their ilk enjoyed such popularity. It will never happen, though, because too many people see that the right is composed of people who are racist, homophobic, anti-free-choice, and white. I just wanted to say that the three of you, together, have put my thoughts into words, so well. I am getting to the point that I just skim right over ALL posts by those on here, that are as described. Their rage and how they convey it, has brought out a side of them that is quite distasteful and takes away any credence I may otherwise give their words on any topic. Just wanted to add....many of them are SO caught up in their emotion that they really simply cannot seem to see how they are coming across, the THEM they are conveying. And while it's no skin off my arse what sort of human being they are, it puts them in a light that I just know I wouldn't want to be seen in. That poisonous fury that almost spits out of every single sentence, many of which go beyond the point of making any more common sense or having any posibility of being taken seriously by anyone other than others with similar points of view. For myself, even when I cannot agree on an issue, I usually can understand the other person's mindset and reasoning. I also know that I never will agree. But that is human nature. Many of these people remind me more of far right religious zealots, so caught up in their distorted passion there is absolutely no way they can even begin to acknowledge another point of view that has any intelligent value at all. So busy are they screaming their views of hell and damnation while waving their bibles around. Completely belittling the possible value of things like eastern religiouns, muslim, etc.......all else is just evil and must be exterminated. It is my fervent hope that these are the dying mindsets of a type of human being that, in my opinion, has created much of the problems of the world. The venomous anger is a result of fear, fear of losing the comfortable. Fear that there might be something better, but that the better was not what was preached in "their church". Personally, I don't think it was ever honestly preached in any of them.
