What the right apparently thinks

[LuckyTheDog]

What the right believes, so far as I can tell, is this:

The "left" (which they define as "all others") knows the Iraq war is good for America and is going well. But the "left" opposes the war entirely based on a hatred for GW Bush. And apparently, we hate GW Bush because entirely because he is a Christian and we hate everyone who is not an atheist. Thus, all policy disagreements between the Bush worshipers and everyone else actually are based on the struggle between Christianity and atheism. And the goal of atheism, apparently, is the total destruction of America and the American way of life. Thus, they also believe that all "leftists" (again, defined as "everyone but us") are the enemy.

:banghead:

Do I have that about right?

1. Close enough

you can lump brown-skinned people in there with the atheists as well, and then you're spot on!

2. I think so

I know I've been told that Bush is the Second Coming of Christ by freepers.

3. sigh... I'm afraid so

At least for a cadre of particularly dunderheaded bushbots. You know, the "some of the people" people.

4. Dead on. Another important question: Why do they think the way they do?

Because it allows them to mask (to others and themselves) their utter greed/selfishness and complete disregard for others by wrapping themselves in the Bible. Calling everyone else evil and godless helps them deny their true selves - just like their "leader," G.W.

5. It's a clear symptom of a Personality Cult ....

... when all their rhetoric boils down to the "anti-Bush" or "Bush-basher" core statement. Everything hinges on that tenet of faith -- a worship thing. That's a Cult - no doubt about it.

7. even though over 80% of u.s. is christian. that fuzzy math n/t

[Cats Against Frist]

8. Yeah, that just about sums it up

It's "divine order," versus "modernity." It's been going on for some time, now. I hope that for all that is sex and noodly that the Flying Spaghetti Monster makes modernity win out. And, that opinion would make me a post-modernist, which I am. When modernity wins, then we can finally start trashing modernity for real, and not worrying about what some have-been, boar leg-eating, mead-swilling goody hayseed classicists have to say.

Really, though, in all seriousness, I don't know what to call "the others." It's like they still believe in the philosophies of absolutism, religion and order -- but still, like the neocons, filtered through modernism. Does anyone know what one might call this? Neo-neo-classicists, or something?
