Reply #44: It's The Need For A Boogie Man [View All]

[KharmaTrain]

I love to ask wingnuts to define who we are fighting. I get some strange picture of Osama on a camel with an IUD (yep...they're blowing up ueterus') and slitting wrists of any xtian...just like those 1,001 Arabian knights. And, of course, they surely want to come to your little town...especially in Alabama and Nebraska...and take away your guns and bibles and 700 Club. Something's gotta be done!!!

The worst thing that happened to the Repugnicans in the late 80's and early 90's was the "fall of Communism"...or at least the Soviet model. They lost "Ivan"...that big bad, evil commie who hid under your bed and was going to rain nukes down on us at a moment's notice. For decades, this boogie man kept their horde in order and bonded it with both the military and the industrialists who profit from war.

It took 'em a few years. They tried the Chinese...that didn't work. So they went to the big, old nasty Arab boogie man. It'd been a latent hatred in this country starting from the oil embargo of the 70s, Iran hostages, Gulf Oil War I and so on...and sure fit all the same old chestnuts that worked with the commie fear.

Note how Cliffie tries to deflect the religious aspect and attempts to frame it in "ideological" terms. Problem is this asshat is void of any true concept of what an ideology really consists of.
