Delusional puppies - -
You ever come across something so deluded, so bugnut crazy, you end up responding to it like a rubbernecker passing a horrible wreck? Well, I think I have found something that just leaves me shaking my head and just dumbfounded by the depths of the delusion on the page.. What is worse though. is that each time I think rock bottom has been achieved, better digging equipment is found.
What makes it even worse is that the person who owns the blog comes across as imperious with a very much inflated sense of self worth. I made the mistake of responding to a particularly insipid post that popped up on my newsfeed. This person was basically backing the idea of political candidates that had no qualms about saying that their religion would dictate their agenda if elected. My response, as those of you who know me, was that there is a reason to be suspicious of these people. I made a general statement, with nothing personal to the author or to any specific candidate. She popped up and told me to grow up and essentially said that I am deluded and know nothing about it; as well as pointing out that the candidate she referred to should not be impugned. She basically also said that I was intentionally insulting to her and the candidate. I took her to task by pointing out that she was the one who made it personal and that I had taken care in past posts to try to be as neutral as possible (especially in cases where I disagreed with her). I also took her to task for the fact as an author, she should know that words have meanings and that her choice of words was not up to what one would expect from an author of her self-professed talent. She didn't respond further but several of her followers did.
I was told that we were not given rights by the constitution but they are God given. There were several replies along these lines. My basic response was if they were God given why was it necessary to write laws or even have a constitution? No one would give a direct answer, the closest they got was for them to double down on the same argument. I tried different tacks, but they couldn't get past their original argument. One particular person argued with me on this for about an hour before she finally said that the constitution was indeed the basis for basic rights in regards to the rights of citizens of the USA. Even with this, she still asserted that we had rights only because God decided that we (alone, my emphasis, but it was pretty clear that she basically meant white Christians in the USA as opposed to all citizens or people in other parts of the world..I kept waiting for her to figure out that the constitution doesn't apply to those who are not currently or soon to be US citizens).
I was actually laughing as the exchanges ended due to the utter ridiculousness of the the whole exchange and how strongly they hold on to their delusions.
Just something to ponder, as I will probably deal with these next two things in future posts (and with all due respect to Robert Wuhl, I am tempted to title each, "I shot you not!", for reasons that will be obvious in a second...
1) on another blog post she turned over to another puppy, they talked about the myth of the transposition of the Democratic and Republican Parties. A very passionate, and better written than other posts from the same blog, testament that the Democrats of the Civil War are the same as the current party (and the same applies to the Republican party; that Lincoln would embrace, or at the worst recognize, the current Republican Party. Seriously...
2) In the reposting of a past blog post, refers to Donald Trump as a traditional Democrat (meaning a socialist)...
I will just let you chew on those two points..
So, do you think, "I shit you not!" would be appropriate?
