The scary similarities between "Teabaggers" and other cults

[BR_Parkway]

Was talking about the Teabagger craziness this morning with a friend (votes independent, but had been Repub) and he made the observation that they were a cult. To back it up, he sent me a link to this page. If you read through the whole page, just replace any use of the word "Satan" with "Liberals" and you'll see just how similar it really is. These folks are more than thoroughly brainwashed.

The modern definition of a mind control cult is any group which employs mind control and deceptive recruiting techniques. In other words cults trick people into joining and coerce them into staying. This is the definition that most people would agree with. Except the cults themselves of course!

On smaller scales white and black supremacists, terrorists, and rebel groups commonly use forms of mind control to recruit and dominate their members.










Here are some key warning signs that may indicate a cult is trying to recruit you.

Hyped Meetings
Rather than explain to you what the group believes or what their programme is up front, they will instead insist that you can only understand it if you come to a group meeting. There everyone around you will seem so enthusiastic that you will start to think there is something wrong with you. They create an environment where you will feel uncomfortable and the only way to become comfortable is to join them. This is an application of controlled peer pressure.

Intense Unrelenting Pressure
They call repeatedly. Meet you on campus or outside your work. Trick you into coming for only an hour and then lead you into a long study, meeting or talk. They have to keep the pressure on, otherwise you might snap out of the mind control environment they are trying to immerse you in.

They tell you that they are not a cult.
This is a preemptive strike against the warnings from friends and family members which they know will come. In fact some cults go as far to tell you that Satan will try and dissuade you by sending family members and friends to tell you it is a cult. When this tactic is used then often a warped form of logic occurs in the recruits' mind, the "agents of Satan" do come and tell them that it is a cult. So since the group predicted that would happen, the group therefore must true! Basically if any group tells you that they are not a cult, or that some people call them a cult, then for goodness sake find out why!

1. careful... you could be crossing some Politically Incorrect lines here with those Key Points....

just because some people are Bigoted, it seems all dialog of some Cults is Prohibited BY THE CULT. this is a dangerous trend I indeed.

but i agree with you. i did research on cults in the 70's... i was even kidnapped for 2 weeks by the Moonies, using your Key Points..

a previous post of mine.. a subject i have been harping on for 30 years;

"snip..ReThugs are a psychotic narcissistic ideological cult that believe if they destroy the government

a Magical Theocratic Utopia will rise out of the ashes of the Constitution and the Federal Government.. i am serious, it is typical of Narcissistic cults.. they are one.

The GOP is a Cult, an Ideological Cult, its members are brainwashed to the degree that their brains are physically altered.. is . the frightening thing is that they are this organized and functional without a Psychotic Narcissistic Leader. Bu$h43/41 were Psychotic Narcissists, but not a leaders. Reagan was a leader but not a Psychotic Narcissistic.. all the Psychotic death and destruction in that admin in South/central America was done by Poppy Bu$h, Rumsfeld, Negroponte, Oli North..etc. God wouldn't be able to help anyone on this earth if they do find a Psychotic Narcissistic leader. Jim Jones, Manson were Puppies, small time players to what is possible with the media behind them
. the anti Christ will just be a Psychotic Narcissistic with deep political and religious connections.. who loves the spotlight

they believe that the wealth is a sign of gods favor of a man, so taxing a rich man/corporation is a sin against god. thus the tax cuts to men who have as much wealth as Billions of the worlds poorest. poverty is is a sign of lack of morals, presence of sin and gods disapproval.. which makes them fair game to loot and oppress.

understand that they do bot think or feel as we do.. if they do at all. they simply kneejerk the party line while glorifying in their ignorance and averice... they are caught up, and owned by the Glamor of Evil..."


but even here you will get slapped down and threatened if you criticize at least the cult i did... but i tend to somewhat agree that this fum isn't dedicated to that particular subject. tho it is relevant to current world events and the very continuation of western civilization.
