Rev. Moon, although A problem, is not THE problem
Edited on Sat Oct-23-04 11:05 PM by ck4829
I have always noticed people have paid attention to Rev. Moon. I don't think though, that he is the source for the Neo-Con threat to Democracy. Think of Moon as advanced fodder.

Stupid people - They look at the media, and see Michael Jackson or who Jennifer Lopez is marrying/divorcing this week, and they say "This is important".

Smart people - They look at the media, and see Michael Jackson or who Jennifer Lopez is marrying/divorcing this week, and they say "This is stupid". They then go on the Internet and see Rev. Moon's connections to the Right, and they say "This is important"

Smart people (who get it) - They look at the media, and see Michael Jackson or who Jennifer Lopez is marrying/divorcing this week, and they say "This is stupid". They then go on the Internet and see Rev. Moon's connections to the Right, and they say "Hmmm, I don't know".

Moon himself is a loon and who has spent time in jail, and oh yeah, he claims he is the Messiah.

Don't you think that is just a tad bit too controversial?

I've got a feeling that certain elements of the Neo-Conservative movement are associating themselves with Moon so the Smart people (who just don't get it yet) don't see the Neo-Conservatives as terrorist, death squad, and third-world dicator assisting fiends and instead they are viewed as just loons who are not dangerous in any way.

So, to sum it up, Rev. Moon is the 'Michael Jackson' for people who are too smart for the media.

2. Sun Moon is just one symptom of the power of those who would keep
"We the People" permanently divided so they can control our government.

This man has severely ticked me off!!! Called Jesus "the failed messiah". Congress did some kind of gala with him last week, annointing him the new messiah (media did not pick this scary story up - - big surprise!). No, he's somewhat of a threat, severely intwined with the neocons in our government. Hopefully, when president Kerry gets into office, something can be done about these nutjobs!!!

5. I'm not saying he's not a threat. Compared to the Neo-Cons though...
He is nothing.

Moon commands a huge cult, is a megalomaniac, and has vast amounts of property and wealth.

Yes, that does make him a threat.

And another thing that makes him a threat is the fact that he serves as a distraction as to what the Neo-Cons are doing.
