Aha! I figured out why ANYONE could still be FOR Shrub. Doh! Double DOH!
It never made any sense to me how, inspite of all the OBVIOUS
BAD, TERRIBLE decisions made by shrub, a good portion of the populace
seems to still support him. It was driving me crazy how any sane,
intelligent human being could still stand by this "man."
It defies the imagination and all common sense. Then it hit me like a shitload of bricks:

Shrub CLAIMS to be following the will of God. "A man of GOD," so to speak.

Therefore, even though shrub's actions "appear" to not make sense,
those who firmly believe the almight shrub is a man of faith, and is obeying the
Word of our Lord, Jesus Christ, he can do no wrong. Anybody remember Jonestown?

Essentially... theirs is not to question the Will of the Almighty -- God.
Just follow blindly into the Kingdom of Heaven. I guess it's just this:

BELIEF IN GOD TRUMPS ALL RATIONAL THOUGHT

1. I think it's more that "holier than thou" attitude.
They LOVE acting all that over others.

Ever notice how they act all SUPERIOR about Jesus?

3. Remember this...
Thy will be done. THAT is the response in many churches to anything that comes their way. Thy will be done.

4. Uh...I believe that's where the term "koolaid" came into play.

7. Yep, that's it. Fun to try to convert these zombies to rational thought
First you have to teach them to think for themselves.
