Good interview...

I especially enjoyed his bringing up Eric Hoffer's "True Believer" which I have used many times here in Mudville to describe folks who are perfectly willing to turn over their own abilitities to ***think*** for themselves... This is a point I have brought up here in this thread...

Also Francis Schaffer in his dieing days saying the very same things...

It's really about zombies... No religion involved here... Just some very angry and confused people ready and willing to strap on suicide bombs... This is disturbing... This is exactly what them brownshirts were about...

Some things just don't change... Yeah, I remember going to Richmond to college in the 60'sd and one night while trying to leasrn the area came upon a KKK ralley... I remember a huge sign on a road leading to Varina that read "Niggers and Communists Beware" with the crosshairs of a rifle painted next to those words...

I mean, yeah, the hoods have been replaced and the signs are no longer up but things haven't changed all that much and I do worry that these radical righties are so far removed from independent thought that our country is indeed on the doorstep of abother round of right wingers thinking (ha) that it's perfectly okay to drag a gay guy down a dirt road with a pickup truck, or to shoot a black man who happens to also be the prsdient or to kil anyone who does not fit the mold of what these zombies are told is out of the accepted mainstream...

And, yeah, I have struggled with my views on guns but then again there are more ways to interpret The Who's warnings to "not be fooled again"... *Right* now, the right knows that lefties won't shoot back... That empowers them... No, I am not advocating stooping to the mindless levels of the right but there is a difference between shooting first and shooting back...

The righties need a wake up call and the left arming itself against the next round of political assasianations and killings of anyone that does not fit the right's idea of ideal it think might be an important step toward making the rightie, ahhhh, ***think*** about the consequences of their behaviors...

Meanwhile, yeah, forget relgion... The radical right is allready at war with our country and as they loose more and more elections they are going to be even angrier... If that is possible...

Anger + ignorance = a dangerous combination...
