The Bush Cult and the Koolaid.

 

The people who followed Jim Jones trusted and believed in him. They

even went to Guayana, where Jim Jones promised to start a new

society, just like the Republicans, led by Newt Gingrich, promised to

start a new America. Just like the neocons envisioned their Project

for a New American Century.

 

These trusting believers gave up all they had, or gave it to Jim

Jones and his handlers. These believers put their very lives in Jim

Jones' hands. They trusted him, his integrity, his Christian faith.

The Bush believers are dwindling in numbers. The remaining loyalists

tend to be the members of the religious far right, macho guys who use

Bush bravado and the support of the war as a pathetic form of Viagra,

wealthy parasites who want to benefit from the fertile financial

climate the US provides without paying their share, and corporatists

who are making a fortune working with the crooked Bush administration

and its right wing extremist republican cronies.

 

The Viagra boys are pathetic dummies and loser. About all we can

expect from them is they will continue listening to idiots like

Limbaugh, Beck and Hannity, who publicly masturbate their egos on

their shows every day.

 

The corporatists and wealthy leeches will keep on milking the

situation as long as they can. They are soul-less, integrity devoid

people and entities. They must be strictly regulated. Otherwise they

will take all they can.

 

And then there are the far right evangelicals, and maybe, some

misguided farmers and just stupid white men, like Michael Moore

described in his book.

 

Yet we know that even among the hypnotized fools who followed Jones

to his horror haven in Guayana, some awakened at the last minute and

survived the final suicide.

 

Here we have the tens of millions of dupes who are being suckered by

the James Dobson, the Left Behind Series and the morally bankrupt,

power intoxicated parasitic leaders of megachurches. They wait for

the rapture, not worrying about the destruction of the environment,

the inflaming of war and and misery in the middle east.

 

What will it take to wake at least some of them up? How destructive

will the ones who will be willing to drink the final, arsenic-laced

kool-aid the right wing extremist republicans are serving?

 

If we'd known what Jim Jones would do, what extreme measures would

have been justified to prevent the mass murder/suicide he induced?

What about America?
