I would have thought that we didn't need to ridicule them - they do that for themselves. But like it or not, a lot (the majority?) of people are influenced by the way you say something, not what you say. That's why politicians don't throw around insults when they are being interviewed on TV... |
Strangely demallien that is the very reason the Theofacists have been able to succeed in creating their constructed social reality .....by use of a massive propaganda machine.
Luckily for your country and the rest of the 'free world' some VERY BRAVE PARENTS in DOVER took up the challenge the politicians were too scared take up themselves.
Its methods are no different to the political commissars of the old Soviet Union. Party hacks use a form of peer pressure that questions your allegiance to God and country and thus your rights as a citizen. The airwaves and streets are full of people praising the dear leader and woe is the person who questions it.
You may think there is a difference and there is, in Russia they had to send huge numbers of the population to gulags to achieve it. In the US the mass media and the fear of being rejected achieve the same thing.
The Politicians sucked up to them for votes (and will continue sucking up to them).
In fact the situation is so ludicrous a politician who claims to be an atheist has as much chance of getting voted into office in Tehran as the US.
<Sarcasm on>Just to show how crazy that is....a Catholic got voted in as US President once. Do they even worship the same mammon as GWB? <Sarcasm off>
