after reading some very very illuminating diaries this evening, I have realized a very important salient fact.
W is not the only one who lives in a bubble.
Pretty much all wingers do... especially the fundamentalist.
There is one thing that I do understand, and that is how the fundamentalist mind works. The origins of Christian fundamentalism springs from the 19th century 'great awakening' and the holieness movement which aligned itself against science (evolution in particular)
The holiness movement at it's core is dedicated to not only not living of the world, but shedding as much as possible of living "in" the world as well.
more on the flip...
The typical fundamentalist christian only associates with other fundy's, on listenes to "the right kind" of music and talk radio, and get's the determination of what is right and wrong from the pulpit every sunday morning.
Ever wonder how a blowhard such as Rush can be so popular????
How about a line from Rush...."I read the news so you don't have to".
Well, by virtue of living in this bubble, many of the fundy's have also adamantly believed that not only was W one of them, but have also come to believe, through all of their sheltered sources of information...that the GOP at it's core, is in line with their beliefs as well....
Well...my friends, I am here to say that I think that the bubble has finally burst.
Guess what my Fundy fanatical friends...
W is not a fundy.
He's a rich corporatist who pretends to be a fundy.
And guess what...even furthermore, as one domino falls so do the rest.
the GOP at it's core is not aligned with your belief's either.
It merely pretends to be, in order to get your vote.
Why has it burst?
Because of Katrina...because of Mier's, but most of all, because W's arrogance has finally been revealed.
A true fundy would have nominated a fellow fundy.
Not someone who has actually given money to Gore...not someone who has actually associated themselves with "Homo-sex-you-all's", and what is also even more apalling...
is a career driven woman.
Yes people, the bubble bursts on the fact that Miers isn't married.
Which to the patriarchal driven fundamentalist, is one of the worst sins imaginable.
