I must have been following a different trial or this news organization makes up facts to fit the desired opinion.

Wow. No wonder low information voters are so confused.

One drop rule. Mr. Obama is reportedly only 6% or so black, yet he’s supposedly our “first black president” and all that.

They do it because they know the left media, which is all of the MSM, will give credence to their version until it becomes the truth. Just like the nazis they’re always calling other people, did.

Great, great post. It is unreal how we have been browbeat into mouthing platitudes or at best ignoring and stifling the truth, until reality has been turned on its head. If there’s one thing I envy past generations more than any other, it’s the lost right to speak the truth. I am watching a silent film this minute which perfectly encapsulates what I mean. People in the long past never had to fear speaking the truth.

It’s an interesting thing for me, I believe in the freedom of the press but this author and this article, is just not news ie. factual.

It belongs in the ‘historical fiction’ section but usually those have a love interest too. This is nothing but pure revisionism with the predictable end goal. Stir up racial tensions, eliminate Stand your ground laws and sell newspapers even if you have to lie your butt off.

With every piece of black propaganda that you read... it becomes clear where racism and the evil of hate resides... and 97% of that population voted for satan’s candidate because he was half black.

AND... apparently missed the fact that in the end, the REAL BAD GUY, the REAL SLAVE DRIVER, was not Col. Candy, but his BLACK 'partner'.

Well, I just made a snark based on what I’ve read about it (precious little, but I got the gist), I wouldn’t see that movie if they paid me. Then again, I won’t see anything made past app 1957 if they paid me, lol.

Total B/S. I’ll give him points, though, for giving us another great example of the victimization mindset that is crippling a large part of the black community.

This article offers conservatives a window into the mind of a racial group that is so incapable of independent thought that it delivers 95% of its votes to a man because of his skin color. Here we have a case study for all to see how this mass psychosis is shaped.

Do you need to be reminded that the mass psychosis went far beyond the ovine qualities of one ethnic group? A very large majority of votes for the President came from white people. 36,242,629 whites voted for the President but only 15,604,466 blacks voted for the President. Statistically that had to be the case, because black people are only around 13 percent of the total US population. You have been on Free Republic a long time, so you know the actual enemy is Liberal Socialist groupthink.

50% actually, and 50% White, like George, but yet you don’t hear anyone referring to Scary Barry as a “White African American”, now do you?

I believe the source for the “Obama is a Arab” allegation was Kenneth Lamb, a guy who doesn’t strike me as a trustworthy source. Ask Beckwith. He asked Lamb for proof of his allegations several times back in ‘08, I believe. To the best of my knowledge, Lamb never responded. Does that sound like someone trustworthy?

Taheri wrote that Arabs consider Obama one of them because of his Muslim roots and his Left wing politics.

In the end, does it really matter whether he’s Arab, African, or Albanian? The guy is bad news for our country.

When we talk about groupthink we might point to many historic instances. One thinks immediately of Joseph Goebbels and his ability to manipulate a society well grounded in science and Christianity. We could consider a bizarre pathology, a genuine mass psychosis, which afflicted hundreds of millions of people in Maoist China which he diabolically manipulated. Today there is the geopolitical problem of the Arab street which so many ways reminds one of the state of the black American ghettos in terms of its rejection of rationality.

So, yes, I think you are onto something when you talk about the real enemy being liberal groupthink. In America it finds expression most egregiously today among African-Americans but you are right, it leeches into the rest of society. Instead of looking at the problem from the perspective of looking at the mass let's turn our attention to the individual. Some time ago, November 2009, I wrote a reply which I saved which talks about how the individual is seduced into this groupthink. I reproduce it here for your reaction:

You ask, in effect, why do leftists behave the way they do? You rightly cite the suicidal belligerence of the Palestinians and the mindless hostility of American liberals. We are witnessing a cult or a tribal phenomenon.

I have been preoccupied for some time with the power that draw well-intentioned people into liberalism and I've concluded that it is the power of the cult. Consider how very difficult it is to pry a teenager loose from the clutches of a cult. It requires professionals and an intervention of the most intense level. My first experience with this phenomenon came from exposure in the 1970s to people who had gone through EST. They exhibited many of the characteristics which mark the present day liberal. A smugness, an ill disguised feeling of superiority derived from a belief that they alone are possessed of special insights and truth. A belief that the rest of humanity is benighted and unworthy except as candidates for conversion.

These people were so myopic and yet so convinced of the superiority of their Weltanshaaung that they were obnoxious. We called them, "est-holes."

The est experience consisted of "seminar training" in which the individual was stripped clean of his ego which was replaced by a new belief system imposed on the crushed individual by the est facilitator. This is typical of a cult. It is even typical of the Marine Corps but that is in pursuit of a worthy goal.

This phenomenon is so strong in its appeal because of the "power of surrender."

I believe that the principal distinction between conservatives and statists is that the latter are God players and as such they are in unremitting rebellion against God. Conservatives on the other hand tend to be believers. In the Christian faith we come to our salvation as an individual experience. One would think that a God player would be an individualist but for some reason which I do not understand they tend to be collectivists. In effect, they find their salvation in the group. Think of the Bloods and Crips. The act of surrender of the ego to the group yields a wonderful feeling of integration and well-being. The individual can renew that feeling by re-immersing himself into the group. That which threatens the group also threatens him. Consider the American Indians such as the Iroquois who were quite loving toward their children and considerate of each other and yet were unbelievably brutal and indifferent to the agony of those prisoners they tortured. They were outside the tribe, they were the "other."

I believe this accounts for the scatological language and the sheer nastiness of the posts one finds in the liberal blogs. There is no restraint so long as one stays within the cult. One of the primary taboos of this cult has to do with race. Liberals consider conservatives to be racists and hence beyond the pale. There is no opprobrium so debased that it cannot be applied to these people [conservatives, Republicans etc.] who, virtually by definition, are racists.

As new converts get drawn to the flame, they sense the release to be obtained from surrendering to such a group.

Last April there was a report that Obama recommended Americans embark on an environmental "mission." I wrote the following post as an illustration of the phenomenon I am trying to articulate:

Obama: Americans Want to Be on an Environmental ‘Mission’

April 23, 2009

I think Obama actually believes that the country once summoned will experience a spiritual release through devotion to the environment. This is a little understood phenomenon which motivates liberals in very many of their causes. When the individual surrenders to something other than himself- typically for the liberal that means the "collective," but it can be to virtually anything- he is rewarded with an emotional release, a feeling of integration. This phenomenon has been well-recognized by psychologists.

Recall Hillary Clinton's summons in 1969 for a more "ecstatic" experience. She was trying to articulate the same phenomenon. Think of the calls by liberals in the wake of 9/11 for George Bush to summon the country to a "sacrifice." Instinctively the liberals grope for this emotional experience. It matters not that the summons would have been fatuous. What did they want George Bush to summon them to? To plant victory gardens? To collect old tires? To ration gas? The point, of course, is that the war on terrorism was waged against us to cause us to change our lifestyle. No matter, logic has nothing to do with the emotional satisfaction.

I think we should consider the entire Obama administration to be a mystical call to the nation to join with them in this kind of mystical release that he found as an agitator and group leader for Saul Alinsky.

Yes, we are now being governed as though we were in a giant EST meeting and may God have mercy on all of us.
