Haven’t seen too many Christian or Jewish terrorist armies around like Islam.

I`m convinced I`m the Joe Dirt of the universe dropped off on earth by my lousy parents.

Other times, the stupidity of humanity is so overwhelming I can`t help empathizing with Marvin, the depressed robot from Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.

For anyone that cares... (and even if they did it probably wouldn`t matter)

Irving Janis was a Psych professor at Yale. He researched groupthink and developed eight groupthink behaviors. They describe why groups make bad descisions - however the left figured out how to use them as a weapon.

I recast them below as commandments of the progressive left.

Number IV explains covers this turd of an article.

I Thou shalt create an illusion of invulnerability shared by most members to foster excessive optimism and encourage extreme risks taking

II Thou shall not allow any member to question the group`s inherent morality, instead members shall be encouraged to ignore the ethical or moral consequences of their decisions

III Thou shalt promote collective efforts to rationalize in order to discount warnings, or other information that might lead members to reconsider their assumptions before they recommit themselves to their assumptions

IV Thou shalt reinforce stereotyped views of enemy leaders as too evil to warrant genuine attempts to negotiate, or as too weak and stupid to counter whatever risky attempts are made to defeat their purpose

V Thou shalt self-censor any deviation from the apparent group consensus, inclining each member to minimize the importance of their doubts and counterarguments

VI Thou shalt create and maintain a shared illusion of unanimity concerning judgement conforming to the majority view

VII Thou shalt apply direct pressure on any member who expresses strong arguments against any of the group`s stereotypes, illusions, or commitments, making clear that this type of dissent is contrary to what is expected of all loyal members

VIII Thou shalt appoint mindguards to protect the group from adverse information that might shatter their shared complacency about the effectiveness and morality of their decisions

sorry for wasting everyones time...
