CONFESSIONS OF A FORMER REPUBLICROID ZOMBIE
By David Brownlow
April 9, 2006
NewsWithViews.com
Republicroid Zombieism – It is real, it is dangerous, and it has left millions of otherwise intelligent Americans stumbling through life hopelessly trapped in a state of delusion and denial. This insidious virus can creep up on the unsuspecting so slowly that most do not even realize they have been stricken. But soon after the infection sets in, words begin to lose all meaning - death is life, war is peace, lies are truth, stealing is giving, and slavery is freedom.

It can happen to anyone. I know, because I am a former Republicroid Zombie.

Republicroid Zombies can often be difficult to detect, because unlike those infected by the Democroid strain of the virus, most can carry on somewhat normal lives. They have families, hold down jobs, and often seem able to function on their own. But just beneath the facade, the virus is eating away at its victim’s brains, leaving them unable to form so much as a single independent opinion until commands are received from Fox “News” or some other Republicroid propaganda source.

It is painful, and a little embarrassing, to look back and realize that I was in a Republicroid trance-like state for nearly two decades. The high point, or low point, came shortly after the “Republican Revolution of 1994.” Those were heady times, and I was a believer. The Republicans were fresh off an election victory, with some very hard fought political clout at their disposal – and they promised to wield it like a club.>>>>snip

1. LOL!
It's an interesting article, but it's worth it just for Republicroid Zombieism. Bwhahaha! :rofl:

3. I don't think he's quite kicked it yet. But it's a start.

14. Still crazy and stupid after all these years.
He knows somethings wrong but he still can't figure it out.

(snip)
"While many of us were still celebrating the start of the “revolution,” our enemies wasted no time in solidifying their control over the new members of Congress. They fiddled around with Monica while Clinton armed the Chinese with our latest missile guidance technologies. They talked of fiscal responsibility while they proposed budgets that greatly increased the expansion and intrusion of the federal government. They sat on their hands while 3,800 innocent children were murdered every single day.

Appeasement after appeasement, it soon became apparent that all we did was trade one gang of life-hating, big government-loving communists for a different one.

The past eleven years of Republican rule have been an absolute disaster for our economy, our freedom and our country. The destruction really began to accelerate once the Republicans consolidated their control of the Presidency along with both houses of Congress.


Yea it's not the fault of the people that vote for an unqualified imbecile. They aren't responsible for following religious charlatans like sheep on the way to the slaughter house. Who can blame them for not being able to see right through the "Fair and Balanced" FOX news and the drug addled Rush Limbaugh. They aren't responsible. Not much!
:banghead:

4. The Romans may have been taken down by the fact that the
lead utensils made them sick. There may be some environmental problem that is causes Americans to lose IQ. (fluoride or something like that)

5. Would you buy shoes from THIS MAN?
Not me. He's stupid enough to consider Social Security an income redistribution scheme. Just another "I got mine, so fuck you..." character.

7. His issue is abortion. He's anti.
His idea of leaving the Republican party is to joing the ultra-fascist, theocratic Constitutional Party--the party of Dominionists.

8. But at least the title is good
I qualified that I like the title but didn't really care about the article that much.

Anyone leaving the republican party gives their party a smaller base.

10. This is true...
It's ironic that, for people like this, the Republicans aren't creepy ENOUGH.

11. True.
It's odd, though, when the zealots call the ideologues brainwashed.

12. looks to me like he is still a victim of it
He claims 85% of federal spending is illegal per the Constitution. Including Social Security and Medicare.

13. So he's upset that we AREN'T a medieval Christofascist police state.
And he feels that the NeoCon Repubs lied to him
when they promised it would become one.

Yeah, the title is great...
but the actual CONTENT is some seriously deranged garbage.
