I can understand the Fear & Hysteria. - But.....

The wisdom on the street is that Republicans (and
even some Democrats) were/are so frightened by Bush's
handling of the 9-11 incident that they will tolerate
all the lying and the making public fools out of them
that they have endured, that they will tolerate the
new and open American torture policy, that they
will tolerate the possibility of an endless, draining
war, that they will tolerate just about any insult
on liberty and The American Way, just so long as they
are promised that these foreign ways will bring comfort
and safety to them.

I can understand the Fear & Hysteria. My mother is the
same way. For her the universe is a frightening place
always one step away from defeating her. She too tosses
away her old values and liberty. For example she will
no longer go on a one-week vacation because of all the
terrible things that will certainly happen to her or
her cat if she goes. The cat will starve, or get away,
the house burn down...The list of paralyzing fears
she has is almost endless, because after all,
the imagination is infinite, reality is finite.
And she has not the President of the United States
nor professional AM radio fear-pimps and Mass Media Mind
Manipulators -- that these naturally timid people
seem to gravitate towards, -- egging on her
destructive paralyzing fears.

I can understand the Fear & Hysteria. I know
the knowledge that over the last ten years only
300 Americans/year have died from terrorism but
from car accedents over 40,000/year -- this
knowledge will not calm the irrational Republican
hysteria. The fraidycats have been systematically
recruited by Republicans for over 50 years.
Now they have been played.

So I can understand the Republican Fear & Hysteria.
Not everybody is cut out to be the bold John Wayne sheriff
boldly walking into the troubled saloon. No. Many people
are more inclined to lay a risk-free preemptive ambush
from the back of the bar in cowardly fear. After all,
honorable and legal behavior carries with it, *REAL* risks.
Often times, terrible risks, as any John Wayne movie
made perfectly clear. Or, as any real cop on the beat
or judge on the bench, or soldier at war will tell you.
Some jobs are just plainly not for cowards or the lazy.

Some jobs require - what we used to call: honor and character.
I guess we don't require that in our leaders anymore.
In fact, we make fun of them, even swiftboat them if
they have character, call them wine sippers or deranged by
battle or P.O.W. camps or amputations, whatever.
Any excuse will do, and the imagination is infinite.

Now we vote for the guy with the nastiest, catchiest
imagination, the best feelsgoodisms, the most free candy.
The civil candidate we call a wine sipping cheese-eater.
...probably French or a fag. "The Breck Girl" ...Whatever.

Voting for President is no longer our duty, it's
entertainment just like football, just a little
more wordy. Cowardice and bad character are not
drawbacks, no it's how these are spun that matters,
just candy-coat it enough so we can force it down,
then laugh about it, call it an advantage, an
opportunity to score, let's see the other
team beat that! Ha ha.

I can understand the Republican Fear & Hysteria.
Some is natural, (like my mom,) and some is cultivated.
Republicans have been experts at this cultivation since
McCarthyism and a-Commie-behind-every-bush.
.... But there is one thing I cannot understand.
How can you guys let them continue lying to you, making
you the perpetual fool of the watercooler wars?
...Into perpetual losers?
This is "constant and severe" abuse.
Have you no pride? No self-esteem?
How do you swallow it, over and over?

I think I have the answer....

175 dead, 200 wounded, kidnapping of the oil minister right under

Sheesh! Do try to keep up, Dopester!

These retards don't actually read news from Iraq unless it's

Does this remind you of anything?

Battered person syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This was called battered woman syndrome by Lenore Walker (1979).
...is a physical and psychological condition that is ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battered_person_syndrome - 22k

"Symptomology"
" ...In lay terms, this is a reference to any person who,
because of constant and severe domestic violence usually
involving physical abuse by a partner, becomes depressed and
unable to take any independent action that would allow him or her
to escape the abuse.
The condition explains why abused people often do not seek
assistance from others, fight their abuser, or leave the abusive
situation. Sufferers have low self-esteem, and often believe
that the abuse is their fault.
Such persons usually refuse to press criminal charges against
their abuser, and refuse all offers of help, often becoming
aggressive or abusive to others who attempt to offer assistance."

So? Is that why you guys REALLY hate Dems??

"Often sufferers will even seek out their very abuser
for comfort shortly after an incident of abuse"

.........end quotes.

Republicans, I am so sorry for you.

* "Sufferers have low self-esteem, and often
* believe that the abuse is their fault."

No, the Bushshit and all those wasted families and
lives, the torture and all the rest, are not your fault.
You may be more gullible, but you did not choose this,
you were lied to also. In fact, you were the main
target of those lies.

* "Often sufferers will even seek out their very abuser
* for comfort shortly after an incident of abuse"

Thus the success of Rush Limbaugh and BushCo, etc....

You poor Republicans simply have no choice if
you want to get better.
Battered person syndrome requires treatment.

* "The condition explains why abused people often
* do not ...leave the abusive situation."
