it means that we don't need to wait for someone to come along and do something about our problems. That we can take action Today. Ourselves. That seems like a positive message to me. Not cultish. All politicians have talking points, mannerisms, and campaign speech go-to bits.

I've lived in Community and have talked at length to actual former cult members.

With that said, i now must say that this whole thing is an absolutely absurd and maddening media inflated talking point, this "Obama cult" thing is nothing more than an effort to dismiss him based on people's fear of the unknown and terrible associations with the word "cult".

Do you think after 3 months of hearing the 2 words Obama and cult together in the same sentence, that people will care if there ever actually was one?


The Matrix was a fucking movie. People have died in/because of Charismatic leaders that took advantage of their followers. Are you saying that's what BO is doing? Do you think that we shouldn't nominate a charismatic leader?

sorry, didn't mean to unload on you.

It's just such a pointless meme...

I'd rather be talking about Voter Rights issues, Energy Policy, Health Care reform, oh just about anything other than innuendo, hyperbole, conjecture, and fabrication...
