Leftists are growing increasingly pessimistic about the political direction of America, which means a “neo-fascist future” is right around the corner again. On the Daily Kos, Ray Pensador explained Tuesday his theory on “Why Rick Perry Is Likely to Win the Presidency in 2012.”
Liberals, he complained, think that merely exposing and criticizing “statements and actions of the crazy, loony right...is somehow enough to convince others about the wrongness of these things.” That’s totally wrong, writes Pensador, because America is a deeply sadistic pile of Puritans that live about five minutes away from our deepest historical atrocities:
This activity springs from the faulty assumption widely shared by the Left, that our perception of reality based on logic, reason, science, empirical evidence, and willingness to compromise, is an attitude widely shared by society at large. This attitude, at the end, will be one of the main reasons the country continued its march toward a neo-fascist future under the total control of corporations and religious fundamentalists.
The great satirist, comedian, and social commentator Bill Maher has touched on this subject, pointing out that "a majority of Americans cannot name a single branch of government or explain what the Bill of Rights is; 24 percent cannot name the country America fought in the revolutionary war; nearly half of Americans don't know that states have two senators; 18 percent believe that the sun revolves around the earth." And only 39 percent believe in evolution...
Pensador complained the average liberal has an underdeveloped sense of empathy because "the majority of them live comfortable middle- or upper-middle class lives, and other influences like the seemingly omniscient propagandist effect of the corporate-owned media." If the corporate media were so powerful, how did Obama get elected again?

Huh? The Puritans and the Sadist are together for Perry?
Hey, I thought the Sadists voted for Obama! If they’re supporting Perry; Further proof that Obama is losing his base.
I question Perry though, if he has the support of the Sadists... I’m not sure if I want to vote for a guy that has the support of former Obama supporters.
I’m just say’n...
But, I thought DailyKos types insisted BDSM was just a life-style choice, and anyone who condemned it was intolerant, and now sadism is a bad thing? I’m so confused!
>>> There is a strong legacy of atrocities, of the enslavement and extermination of millions of people, of the appropriation of other people’s land and property, of cruelty, of unimaginable greed”
I think he’s confusing South and Central America with North America;)
Anyhow, any land we took, we’re paying for it now at the casinos!/s;)
interesting...my belief in freedom translates to slavery, extermination, etc...to some liberals.
Three years ago, of course, the nature of the United States was one of enlightenment and sophistication - thus Great Leader. One would think the Great Leader administration has done a poor job of nurturing said enlightenment and sophistication for us to fall so quickly into the racism and troglodyte paroxisms of the past. Where were the hordes of racist Puritans in 2008?
Another clueless bastid.
And 100% of our current Presidents believe that there are 57 states......................
“Who will win in 2012?”
A: Absolutely!
I'm anxiously waiting for the mass suicides to begin...
