Charges: You believe in freedom of speech, until someone says something that offends you. You suddenly give a damn about border integrity, because the automated voice system at your pharmacy asked you to press 9 for Spanish. You cling to every scrap of bullshit you can find to support your ludicrous belief system, and reject all empirical evidence to the contrary. You know the difference between patriotism and nationalism -- it's nationalism when foreigners do it. You hate anyone who seems smarter than you. You care more about zygotes than actual people. You love to blame people for their misfortunes, even if it means screwing yourself over. You still think Republicans favor limited government. Your knowledge of politics and government are dwarfed by your concern for Britney Spears' children. You think buying Chinese goods stimulates our economy. You think you're going to get universal health care. You tolerate the phrase "enhanced interrogation techniques." You think the government is actually trying to improve education. You think watching CNN makes you smarter. You think two parties is enough. You can't spell. You think $9 trillion in debt is manageable. You believe in an afterlife for the sole reason that you don't want to die. You think lowering taxes raises revenue. You think the economy's doing well. You're an idiot.

Exhibit A: You couldn't get enough Anna Nicole Smith coverage.

Sentence: A gradual decline into abject poverty as you continue to vote against your own self-interest. Death by an easily treated disorder that your health insurance doesn't cover. You deserve it, chump.

Strange... this post very much describes the majority of posters at the Bully Pulpit forum at Delphiforums. They become apopletic with insane rage if you suggest they follow the Golden Rule... you know, if you wouldn't like it if someone hijacked your own threads because they politically disagreed with you and if you didn't like it when people launched personal attacks against you, then you probably should not do that to others.

In fact, the frothing-at-the-mouth extremists at the Bully Pulpit will even insist that anyone who dares to suggest the Golden Rule ought to be a guideline for forum behavior absolutely must be banned from that forum.

They really, really hate you for posting the real facts. Truth is anathema to extremists because it is not bendable to extremist talking points.

Pity.

The Hypocrisy of Extremists

I got to thinking about this after making the post just two posts below this one, the post about waterboarding and is it torture or not. It seems the American people do view it as torture but what's pretty incredible is that a goodly portion of those have no problem with that.

Guess which political party most of them belong to and know that they would be screaming and whining and frothing at the mouth if a President of the other major political party had been the Waterboarder-in-Chief.

You see, it's not about the waterboarding. It's not about the torture. It's not about any single moral belief or article of faith other than the one that states the hypocrite's view of the world must reign supreme and all others must be utterly destroyed. It's all about pissing and who can make the fanciest pictures in the snow.

If you dare to challenge the machismo posturing (yes, even of the female fanatics), then you are the anti-American traitor, you are the one aiding and abetting America's enemies and you can be dehumanized and marginalized and ultimately discounted. It's the only way to maintain the Bubble World where the fanatics live.

I call it "Bush Derangement Syndrome," though the scope of this mental disorder goes far beyond one individual man.

The extremist hypocrites practice the most unAmerican of behaviors in the name of fighting whatever they deem as being unAmerican.

In fact, their extremist agenda is so all-important they eat their own as a matter of course if that lawmaker or business icon or even President should stray off the agenda's officially proscribed path.

And so, it is not America that matters to them at all. Not when they are fond of threatening our American society with open declarations of weapons stockpiling for the Armageddon against our own government that's sure to come if anyone not blessed by them should be elected to high office by the American public they swear they live to defend (except, not very many of these bigmouths seem to be active duty military or would even be eligible for service to this country, preferring instead to act as bullies behind the anonymous internet).

No, agenda comes first, even before America and American values. And for that alone, these gasbag fact-spinners of the new and old media are indeed hypocrites.

Getting back to waterboarding, Abu Ghraib, and various other truths... it would almost have been amusing to watch the extremists sizzle on the end of their hypocrisy stick - defending America by denying what America is - except there is nothing amusing about watching cancer grow.

So, according to the latest extremist talking point, if you're against torture you are positively unAmerican.

Hypocrites.

Quotes from the Right Wing of American Politics

David Barton (Wallbuilders): "There should be absolutely no 'Separation of Church and State' in America."

Star Parker (Coalition on Urban Renewal & Education): "Anybody that believes in separation of church and state needs to leave right now."

George Bush Sr. (President of the United States): "I don't know that atheists should be considered citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."

Gary North (Institute for Christian Economics): "The long-term goal of Christians in politics should be to gain exclusive control over the franchise. Those who refuse to submit publicly to the eternal sanctions of God by submitting to His Church's public marks of the covenant–baptism and holy communion–must be denied citizenship."

Robert T. Lee (Society for the Practical Establishment of the Ten Commandments): "Democracy originated in the mind of a rational being who has the deepest hatred for God."

Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin: “George Bush was not elected by a majority of the voters in the United States, he was appointed by God.”

Randall Terry (Operation Rescue): "I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good...Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a biblical duty, we are called by God to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism."

Keith A. Fournier (Catholic Way): "We need a legal strategy which protects the rights of those of us who hold Christian convictions which will afford us the opportunity to contend once again for the mind of this culture."

Gary Bauer (American Values): "We are engaged in a social, political, and cultural war. There's a lot of talk in America about pluralism. But the bottom line is somebody's values will prevail. And the winner gets the right to teach our children what to believe."

James Dobson (Focus on the Family): "Those who control the access to the minds of children will set the agenda for the future of the nation and the future of the western world."

James Kennedy (Center for Reclaiming America): "The Christian community has a golden opportunity to train an army of dedicated teachers who can invade the public school classrooms and use them to influence the nation for Christ."

Robert Simonds (Citizens for Excellence in Education): "We'll take away their power and their money. Money comes from students. We'll break their backs by taking 24 million kids out of the public schools."

Gary Potter (Catholics for Christian Political Action): "When the Christian majority takes over this country, there will be no satanic churches, no more free distribution of pornography, no more talk of rights for homosexuals. After the Christian majority takes control, pluralism will be seen as immoral and evil and the state will not permit anybody the right to practice evil."

Fob James (Governor of Alabama): "Behind this judicial wall of separation there is a tyranny of lies that will fall... I say to you, my friends, let it fall!"

John Whitehead (Rutherford Institute): "The [Supreme] Court, by seeking to equate Christianity with other religions, merely assaults the one faith. The Court in essence is assailing the true God by democratizing the Christian religion."

Beverly LaHaye (Concerned Women for America): "Yes, religion and politics do mix. America is a nation based on biblical principles. Christian values dominate our government. The test of those values is the Bible. Politicians who do not use the bible to guide their public and private lives do not belong in office."

Joseph Scheidler (Pro-Life Action League): "I would like to outlaw contraception...contraception is disgusting – people using each other for pleasure."

Kay O'Connor (Kansas Senate Republican): "I'm an old-fashioned woman. Men should take care of women, and if men were taking care of women today, we wouldn't have to vote."

ANN COULTER: "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war."

Pat Buchanan (Presidential Candidate): "Our culture is superior. Our culture is superior because our religion is Christianity and that is the truth that makes men free."

Jay Grimstead (Coalition on Revival): "We are to make Bible-obeying disciples of anybody that gets in our way."

Joseph Morecraft (Chalcedon Presbyterian Church): "Nobody has the right to worship on this planet any other God than J******. And therefore the state does not have the responsibility to defend anybody's pseudo-right to worship an idol."

Bailey Smith: "With all due respect to those dear people, my friend, God Almighty does not hear the prayer of a Jew."

Pat Robertson (Christian Coalition): "You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense, I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist."

Jerry Falwell (1933 - 2007): "If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being."

Rush Limbaugh: "There is only one way to get rid of nuclear weapons... use them"

Now, a question... if you are an American reading this, is this the philosophy that's been good for our country or do you think we need a change? Think about it.

G-d bless America.

What the Uber-Fanatics of the "Right Wing" have in mind for anyone who disagrees with them.

This is what the uber-extremist-right-wing has in mind for anyone who disagrees with them. The video is quite funny. The thought behind it is quite terrifying.
