Two weeks before Election Day, Barack Obama's campaign was mobilizing millions of supporters; it was a bit late to start rewriting get-out-the-vote (GOTV) scripts. "BUT, BUT, BUT," deputy field director Mike Moffo wrote to Obama's GOTV operatives nationwide, "What if I told you a world-famous team of genius scientists, psychologists and economists wrote down the best techniques for GOTV scripting?!?! Would you be interested in at least taking a look? Of course you would!!"

Change is now science. All this proves is for all the hype about how “smart and street wise” modern day society is, we are still susceptible to the “big lie” and slick marketing.

It’s actually a testament to how lacking in critical thinking skills the general population is and how ill equipped we are now to live in a Constitutional Republic.

I was somewhat enjoying it until near the bottom of page 2 I hit the brick wall: " But face it: Obama is right. Our emissions are boiling the planet, and most of our energy use is unnecessary. "

OK leftists, you show us how to cut your energy use by 75% and then I'll begin to listen to you. It's "unnecessary" only if you want to return to a Neanderthal lifestyle. If you eat food, travel, enjoy a heated or cooled house, prevent disease with miracle drugs, prefer to not go to bed when the sun goes down, like unsalted food that doesn't spoil and like watching TV and listening to music, then our energy use is not "unnecessary."

The preachers can't change THEIR habits -- they always fall back to preaching about the evils of living in industrialized America. They just can't help themselves.

This was obvious when I would hear the callers for the Dr. Laura radio show. I couldn't listen after the first two or three and finally stopped listening at all.

I don’t read Time ragazine, but I’m wondering if this is accompanied by its 1,289,112,761th photo feature of 0bama.

This article made my blood run cold. A must read - do try to get past Time’s fawning and slobbering and read the entire piece. Insidious and beyond arrogance. It would be naive to think this president is the first to employ these methods, but the scope is chilling. I’m generally way too cynical to be an alarmist, but this one makes my stomach sink. I’ll be forwarding this article on.
