OK, what extra-strength koolaid have the fundies been drinking lately?
I've seen dozens of posts on the wacky things these clueless fools have been doing recently. They're stepping up their ridiculous foolishness for SOME reason. Who's behind it? What's driving them?

And WHY do these freakizoids always want a theocracy and establishment of religion? How would they like it if the religion established was paganism, and no tolerance for THEIR form were allowed?

The recent spate of foolishness has gotten me quite disturbed. I have no problems whatsoever with anyone who wants to practice whatever religion turns their crank. I have no problem with religion per se at all. I do have serious problems with religion by force and ESTABLISHMENT of religion. That just makes me go GRRR!! :mad:

So why the sudden extra-strength in the koolaid? What's up with the freaks?

8. They Do Not Intend To Give Up Power
They want the Fundies to back them up when they defy impeachment
or blatantly steal the elections (or just call them off altogether).

2. They see a chance
to grab control over others they don't understand and fear because they fear social changes they can't control are coming regardless of what they think.

3. Defense Mechanism
Everything they believe in is slowly crumbling with the inevitable advance of science and the truth.

There are two choices when that happens: accept and adjust, or retreat to your smaller world and defend it more harshly.

4. They have a weird--I mean extra-weird--personality test
posted right now. Maybe it's from dyanetics or something. Oddly, I found nothing re Cunningham and his sentencing. They aren't sending condolences or prison references, apparently.

6. Their religion is like
a really really good feel better about themselves coat that they slip on when it suits them. Haven't you noticed that usually the most pious are the ones that get caught doing something really nasty? I think they feel a little power and it's probably 151 grain in the Kool-Aid...:beer:

9. Alito has emboldened them.
They think that they can finally do all the theocratic stuff they've been wanting to do for years.

11. Roberts and Alito are the only campaign promises that Bush
has really come through on for them, so they are pulling out all the stops.

year and they're looking to further increase their political power.
