Taking the Pulse of GWB - So whadaya think so far?

[Andra_Jenny]

Yes, obviously we must continue it. It is part of the further Balkanization of America. We still have people fighting the civil war where I live. All we need to do now is erect a huge tower to reach god...

Thank you for your replies.......

As usual I find it impossible to take sides.

Why?

I personally find it extremely hard to believe that most Americans can even buy into partisan politics. No I don't, don't find it hard to believe - but this fact , that they do - disturbs me. It just doesn't seem very "intelligent" to me. It seems that yes, people are stupid. No, not stupid - intellectually lazy - that's what they are. The easy of moron'ism.

Me?

I'm pro-choice - and pro-death penalty. I am pro-national health care but anti-welfare. I am for rebuilding a strong US military and pro-space program as well. I am pro-improved environmental protection - but also pro-oil drilling up far north. I'm pro-fur and pro-animal medical experimentation. I am for the legalization of marijuana and other recreational drugs. I am pro-legalized prostitution. I am for taxation all religions, as any business is taxed. I am for major tax cuts for all but if income tax must exist (and I think it does until major changes occur) I'm for taxing the extremely wealthy in extreme percentages compared to middle income and low income tax payers.

So you see - partisan politics play no role in my way of "thinking man's politics." I don't see how very many, normal people can align themselves, completely with being either Democratic or Republican - or Libertarian or whatever party for that matter.

If you really "think as an individual" - your political stance will be "personalized," well beyond partisan politics. And to me - if that is not the case - then there is a grave "possibility" that you may not be "thinking for yourself."

I would bet that when actually quizzed, most Americans who align themselves with a particular party, are - taking the easy way out - the non-thinking persons way of just getting buy. Choice A or B. It keeps it pretty simple - and hangs a lot on hope. Hoping that your man, the one you vote for - hits on the things you really care about and doesn't fuck up the things you feel less careful of.

This is why I believe that both Billy Boy and GW and Al - and damn near everybody on Capitol Hill - aren't worth shit. They are smarter than they let on - and they bend, blend and distort the truth of what's really happening in their heads - which is far more complex than they want to let on. That you see - if they were found out - would confuse the masses. They know - they have to keep it simple.

So, I play no favorites - I find them all inferior. I find most of the populace inferior. By and large people are just fucking lazy. I mean look at what they buy, look at what the eat, look at what they consume, look at what occupies their time, look at their hobbies - and look at what the bulk of the populace produces.

For the most part the vast majority of Americans are cows. Human fucking, dumb acting - cows. Lead around.

I guess they deserve partisan politics.

Belonging to a party does not imply lack of ability to think but ability to see that there is power in joining collectively with people with similar ideas. Some numerous people beleive they are stronger if they are partisan. I myself wonder why it is so black and white with two parties. It seems that in such a diverse culture, we would have more diversity of party.

People who require additional power.........

provided by collective numbers - need that power to begin with (for they are weak to begin with) but then, they are weekened even further by the very power they have just attained - weakened by their blend into the masses and lack of individual thought.

This is way of thinking is falasy.

It doesn't matter....

If one must allign oneself with power in order to have power - one is weak, meek and easily lead.

I am lead by few. I recognize very few leaders.

I am a leader - I don't see many capable peers, only pretenders, hucksters - empowered by the meek who need allignment with others.

Not if that voice...

That one voice - is indeniably, logically, correct - and loud. Loud helps too.

Failure implies incorrectness.....

What "is correct" at one point in time will likely not be correct, or "as correct" as an alternative - at some other point in time.

Every answer that is correct - will eventually be incorrect - due to change over time.

This is where true leaders rise above failed leaders.

Remember, people (most are morons) are easily lead by those with half a brain and particularly those who are loud. This does not necessarily mean that they are correct or incorrect - they could be both. This simply means they are leading morons in an inferior way.

Great leaders not only lead morons through volume, of what is correct at a given, relavent moment in time - they also envision change and adjust in time - what is "relative then" and therefore correct.

That is why I say I see no leaders out there. Well there's a few - a few like me. But hardly any.

And I seek......

no followers.

Great leaders never seek followers. Great leaders generally don't realize that they are leaders.

I guess that makes me an exception (as in exceptional) - again.
