Not That Dumb
Empathy and consideration are important but they don't alter the facts and just
about everything which is important has been kept hidden from public view.
All human insight develops a momentarily convincing clarity. Most people know
with a certitude what is true for them without the stress of searching what is
true and they develop dogma to prove the correctness of their positions which
for them reduces their stress. You saw this with these impossible and
ridiculous mantras of "change and hope."
Then, along comes a preponderance of facts - of "in your face buddy, and it
adds to their stress. Obama's methodology: "This is the way it is, take it or
leave it" may work in the first instance sometimes and it may win hearts and
minds of some people but it does nothing for altering Barack Obama's lies and
deceptions.
The traditionalist; that is, those seeking to maintain the status quo, which I
shall call the "believer" is guided by what someone wants to believe instead of
making a full submission to the truth-seeking process. For a lot of people that
is the rational approach in spite of being the dishonest approach.
For all those who deviates from custom and don't fall in line, this sense of
being a well-adjusted person dissipates and those who coerce him to do so are
regarded as somehow strange, offbeat and queer, alien and even the enemy.
To coerce change is often authoritarian, and requires the multitude to
distance itself from their own conventional normalcy. And, this is a
unique problem.
What is the aspect of social stability which makes it appear to thrive on
ignorant dogma and the use of arbitrary violence? The real sources of our
social ills, including injustice, prejudice, international war, and the
like, is to be found in these unstable relationships.
There is something about the limitations man sets on his psychological
growth which causes him to lose his way in understanding and controlling
human nature. One such limitation on our psyche is to expect everyone to
immediately see everything as we do and to expect immediate gratification
or justice. Justice is something one works very hard at achieving.
Making advances in Community Relations and Interfaith cooperation requires
conquering the unknown and chaotic in human affairs and must be palatable;
that is the process itself must be rational and rewarding to everyone.
Arbitrary willfulness to conform to the sensibilities of others must have
a rational basis and not be destructive of the belief structure which
others hold for themselves. That is why it is such a difficult problem.
And, in interpersonal relationships such forces are constantly in motion.
Correct and enduring interpersonal and societal relationships are built on
understanding and a willingness to adopt a change in custom, not an arbitrary
or coerced willfulness because one is compelled by public relations and 5 times
as much money to believe in things not true. If anything that should be
compelling to those who are being scammed and their indignation is exacerbated.
Civilized mankind is really not at home with being forced to believe the
unbelievable. Civilized mankind and women too are not going to accept being
force fed Barack's toxic pabulum down their throats.
The price of pride reactions within our domain is the absolute exclusion
of those reactions toward anything which lies outside it. The power
responses to the outsider are not the kind of constructive ones which
build skills in controlling an expanding world, but rather are menacing,
threatening, angry, and violent ones. And through coercion their
em-pathetic responses are not guided by the kind of understanding and
sensitivity which increases knowledge of a bigger world, but turn readily
into aversion, disgust, hatred, and avoidance. Is this the kind of world
we want? Only if we are to remain isolated and foreign within it.
I may be wrong, in which case this country is on a very slippery slope and is
sliding toward Oblivium, but I predict Americans are smarter than that. I
predict a landslide win for John McCain.

P.S. Don't prove me wrong.

With over 92-95% voting for Obama, if he still loses, will there be rioting? ..

Black Panthers say Obama is going to win or there will be an explosion of
violence. What do you think will happen? Are you afraid to vote? Have you told
poll takers the truth?
