A trip down memeory lane - Britney Spears on trusting President Bush

[Douglas Carpenter]

[TM99]

1. Out of the mouth of babes

I could not have said it any clearer. I feel exactly the same way about President Obama.

[Larry Ogg]

3. So if you can't think for yourself, what makes you think Obama is so benevolent?

And why do you think Hitler said, "What luck for rulers that men do not think?"

I'm sure he felt the same about dumb teenage girls also.

By the way, how old are you?

[TM99]

6. Y'all, I was being

sarcastic.

I have been seeing as much sycophantic acceptance of Obama's abysmal policies here as I saw on Republican sites during the Bush years.

[Larry Ogg]

10. Thank goodness you were just kidding...

It is unfortunate that way to many idol worshiping Right Wing Authoritarian Democrats have a lot in common with idol worshiping Right Wing Authoritarian Republicans.

Their both incapable of breaking the instinctual urges of treating their leaders like gods that can do no wrong, and must never be question. Aside from the custom made screwing, and nuances of lies they swallow, when it gets down to it there's not a lot of difference between the two.

Welcome to DU, and remember, don't forget to use your tag when your being sarcastic.

[TM99]

11. Thanks for the welcome

I completely agree.

If I might ask, I do not see that 'tag' when I click on smilies. Am I missing something simple? Where is it located?

Though I must admit that it is rather sad that idol worship has become so prevalent that I even need to add such a tag so that I am not misunderstood.

[Larry Ogg]

12. You defiantly have to be careful with what and how you say things...

Authoritarians are quick to defend the indefensible no matter what.

Some researchers believe that following and defending the alpha leader is a genetic instinct, and you see it throughout the animal kingdom.

Unfortunately, the normal individual has no natural ability to detect a predator who portrays him or herself as an alpha leader. So goes the saying, "Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing."

Put the word sarcasm between two colons : : and you will get

[TM99]

13. Thanks

Yes, I am definitely aware of the phenomena. I work with the human mind every day.

Testing -



Works! Thanks.

[Larry Ogg]

14. Alright, now you can be sarcastic at will, and no one will ever take you seriously again!

Just kidding

[GoneFishin]

17. Wow, I knew this from observation but

I never heard the theory about defending the alpha. That is really interesting.

[xtraxritical]

16. Click on the elipses (...) and you will be given more choices, including "sarcasm".

[TM99]

18. Ahh

I have an elipses emoticon on MSM so I just assumed that was what that was. Now I know otherwise.

Thanks.

[dotymed]

5. How truly sad. It is an American epidemic.

IMO, blind faith in "our" leaders is the definition of "inability to think." Thank you MSM without the Fairness Doctrine......

2. Who could have dreamed that Britney would end up on the NRA enemies list?

4. Shrub quote:

"Well, I think if you say you're going to do something and don't do it, that's trustworthiness."

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

7. Another Shrub quote:

"I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe -- I believe what I believe is right."

-Lil Boots

[Larry Ogg]

15. Another Shrub quote:

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on."

[WhoIsNumberNone]

8. Well no one ever said she wasn't a dimwit

Maybe she'll run for governor someday

[MissNostalgia]

9. Whatever the rumours are

I wish she would have come out and been a face for hope for those who have mental illness,or substance abuse, or are HIV+. Whatever caused her breakdown in 2006 and onward, she would have been better off doing anything else (or nothing) other than XFactor, she was just propped up on there. Sad
