they reflect the ever-burning cult of personal-ality tat is, man teats......

Don't deny it smart-ass, if you can read, ( the addiction to sound bite politics, flavor-of-the week media manipulation, and pep-rally pop culture, an understandable diversion) you may notice above, it seems choggie embraces the globe's cyclical dance......and human contribution to the planet's less than admirable scars with regard to creature comforts-

Simply stated, ad infinitum, and once again, for the drunk with media types.....OUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO CEE OH TWO AND WEATHER CHANGES

AMOUNT

DICK

This is not a personal attack on any one's delusion-it is an attack on the media, on agenda-oriented politics, cult of personality and fucking unconscious meat-bots, and their innablity to "Throw Away THeir TEEVEES"

(like a bunch a freekin crack whores)

-the underlying theme of most posts from this end reminds of a mischievous kid screaming fire in a crowded theatre.....it is alarmism-reminds of court TV, Heraldo Revolta, that cunt on Good Morning America, and WW2 propaganda......31 Flavors of Meh!

more pot is the prescription.....better get yer Doctor on that scrip..

>>> I dislike Olbermann, an insincere, smarmy prick if ever there ever was one on the air. I can't believe even the leftists who like his op-eds can stand him. Keep an eye on him here:

>>> I hate to begin with Slick Willie, but all this concern over the Libby non-issue weighs less than a feather when compared to the last-day-in-office pardons of Bubba.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton_pardons_controversy

>>> Reviews of recent history demonstrate to me that Democrats, the silly cult of personalities they are, don't give a rat's patoot about the rule of law. There's also the fiasco with Gonzalez over the dismissal of U.S. Attorneys in 2006, which was perfectly legal. Why Gonzalez, who did nothing wrong, didn't tell critics to politely f-off is beyond me. But he didn't, and now he too is stuck in a pointless Democrat snare wasting time, money and energy over a non-issue.

I voted for bush, I'll admit it. I've even defended several of his questionable decisions, even though I was over in the Gulf myself at the time. To my knowledge, Mr. Libby's supposed "crime" about revealing in identity of a CIA member wasn't necessarily a crime at all, because the CIA member wasn't even an agent. They were not someone who was in deep cover, if anyone wanted to find out who they were, it would be a simple matter of looking them up.

>>> I believe you are correct in your assessment of the Libby fiasco. To me it was nothing more than a political witch hunt.

Perhaps I'm wrong about what happened with the CIA member and Mr. Libby, but the very fact that Bush would release that man from jail before the appeals process had even started is against everything this justice system was created for. It is in a word : wrong. To the very core of the word.

>>> Libbygate means little or nothing to me; whether the man goes free or rots in prison has no bearing on the fate of the country. Keeping the scum in Gitmo locked up is more important.

>>> I voted for Bush, or rather, against these socialist tools the Victicrats keep offering up. Yeah, Bush has let all of us down one way or another, it's true. He's really a liberal with a few conservative tendencies. He's failed to secure the border, failed to vaporize what needs vaporizing in the Middle East and though he wouldn't have much pull even if he was for ending Drug Prohibition, his past abuses of alk and coke have left no mark of compassion on failed drug policy for those still being locked up for life over a joint.
For all his faults, Bush is nowhere close to being the chimera the moonbat left has tried to create of him. Why should I take anything the left has to say seriously? They remain in complete denial over the war on islamofascism and how tax cuts create wealth.

>>> Hamilton said corruption was the grease of democracy. Focus on what matters to you.

@J-Rova: Yeah, except I don't film video while biking nor do I know the videographer.

Am I guilty of encouraging a Soviet-style "cult of personality", though? Sure, why not?

Hannititty, and Lamebaugh, the drill team captains for the Admin-both are cheesebags in their dedication/fanaticism for the current admin-Time magazine is a bought and paid for anti-democratic/republic propaganda tool, though we don't have a dem/republic anymore anyhow, so that's mute, and it;s still and unreadable fucking tabloid of a rag of a news source.....The most influential monkeys on that list, speak volumes of the innane, out-of-touch, trivia-loving, sound-bite-addicted, confused and frustrated citizens, in a country that is most likely about to be plunged into the next iteration of insanity, that of an administration handed over in frustration, to a gaggle of self-interested, empire-building, out-of-touch sickoids, the biggest slut of these the Hildegard Clitless, and her cult of personality........Doomed, i tells ya, doomed!!!

Polls schmolls, they mean dick....the message being sent by a Speaker who signals division in the face of the enemy is insidious in the extreme. It encourages our foes, undermines the confidence of our friends and demoralizes those we have sent into harm's way.....

...Here's what the Washington post said about her unilateral decision to bop over to Damascus, where she proclaimed, "We came in friendship, hope, and determined that the road to Damascus is a road to peace."
The paper called the Speaker's statement "ludicrous," noting that her host and purported partner for peace, Syrian dictator Bashir Assad "is a corrupt thug whose overriding priority at the moment is not peace with Israel but heading off U.N. charges that he orchestrated the murder of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri."

She should stick to looking like a deer in the headlights, raising money for HER cronies, and building her little empire and cult of personality, folks, wanna know just how close she is able to relate to the people of the United States????
The liberal Center for Responsive Politics pegs Pelosi's net worth as being somewhere between $14746108 and $55085000.

Out of touch, cretin, who would not bat a diamond-studded eyelash nor scoff, at paying 45 dollars a gallon for gas, and could give a fiddler's fuck about anything remotely related to democracy......pipe-dreamers all, deceived and happy to be, to think that a change of party control, will stop, curtail, or correct, the clusterfuck that is American government........

Yeah, yer unilateral cults of personality may be fun in a circle jerk, but this is a social affair, that praises the efforts of many, while lauding the meager musings of the few, in a nondescript manner.....FEDQUIP!


(speaking of which, did anyone notice my four bans in a row record the other day before.....JAMESROE erased it, to keep folks from tripping too hard????? hehehehehe

To me personally Stalin's dictatorial regime had much to do with pushing the USSR into the cold war, especially with his lack of cooperation with the allied powers during and after World War 2 and his relentless push into more areas of the west via armed intursion. By the time he was gone the mechanism for the cold war was in place, at that point the regime could not peruse a course of peace when armed build up meant that America was engaged in the cold war.

This film disgusted me when I saw it the first time. I just could not believe the cult of personality he had instituted via his systematic purges of the intelligentsia, his own armed forces and the civilian population. When Hitler's army amassed on the Eastern front Stalin discarded intelligence reports as lies and conspiracy basically letting hundreds of thousands of people suffer at the blitzkrieg of the German Werchmacht. Generals were switched around at random, troops were flung en masse to defend vast areas with little to no armament, tanks or air support because most of it was destroyed in the initial rush by the german forces, since Stalin gave no general warning to forward areas, even went reports of forces attacking across the border increased in volume. Failure was blamed on generals, any successes were due to the brilliance of Stalin. Only because of the will of the Russian people to defend their land at all costs, did the soviet army finally start pushing the German forces back. The abuses of the German army however, on the Slavic people as a whole due to their view of them being 'sub-human' meant that rear guard soviet detachments made usually of vast conscripts carried out their own form of revenge against the civilians of Germany and even their own people at times, especially the women. Stalin's cruelty extended even to his own family, he drove his son to suicide, when he survived his attempt Stalin remarked that he couldn't even do that properly.

In Moscow there stands a great marble monument engraved with the names of people who have been instrumental in Russia's history when I visited it in the early 90's one name was scratched off the monument and left as such.

It was Stalin's name.

could'nt agree with Bill more, or less here......what a way to miss the point.

Easy to understand coming from someone whose spirituality consists of a cushy ,TV cult-o-personality day job, and who knows what kinda Barney Rubble tweaked in Photoshop lookin' kinda fun in his off hours.

Putties, bill, putties. Would you call a spiritual dynamo like Mother Theresa, of catholic affiliation crazy?? No, selfless. And Bill, if you could bring her back from the dead, I'll bet you'd come away with a fresh perspective on what the nature of true spirituality is.

But go on and keep demeaning the devout, yer fans love to poke fun at imbeciles and the faithfull, perhaps that is what they need to free their minds......

Anybody guess that choggie can't Fucking stand Bill Maher....he helps nothing, affords us no real entertainment, and is so hard to look at, and is truly fucking boring!!

Obscured? Mohammed was the Joseph Smith of the desert.....came at just the right time, to have his very own cult of personality, shepherding his people through the dark ages, to leave then wandering in the wilderness to this day.....

circling the temple 7x....someone in the old testament did that, and he threw in smashing idols with the deal, ala hay-zeus and the money-changers-

Seems that if, if Mohammed would miraculously appear today, and observed the state of affairs of Islam, he would shit a brick the size of the cube in Mecca!

hey no hard feelin's kingmob and wife, we always give dubious newbies a hard time....it's great diversion, and it keeps caca off the site, not that yer adorable clan is not worth watching again and again.....

simply, the idea of self-promotion, encompases the profit thing, and the cult of personality thing, like, someone using the sift to post their own creations, like you guys did

the way to do it is to post it to another site, and get creative with regards to getting it here, or hope for someone to share in your enthusiam who DOESN't know you or sleep with you, enough to posty it here.......welcome with that warm warning!!!

Yep Roe, all great for the pep rally, window dressing is what politicians are best at, forgive my skepticism after a week of window dressing-both parties being the clusterfuck of ineffectual masturbation that we the sheeple, have let them become...

My perspective being a tad simplistic, "Look into their eyes, speech patterns, body language, oh, and with Pelosi, her freekin' track record-This Bitch Is Scarier Than Any Other Woman In Politics Next To Hillarious Clitless herself!

....and real easy to make fun of.....Did anyone else shudder, when she brought all the kids onto the floor, for some spin-(sigh)

(last night on Kimmel, he show footage of another kid-sploitation moment, while she was interviewed, the kid was licking a metal pole!)
-Appealing to the scarred emotional knee-jerkers, the tactic of this ilks' clan
-not the clan, of political parties, the clan of cult-persona, personal-agenda, personal-spectacle, power-bitch politician.

Check her career, watch every sound bite you can from this cretin, and watch her twirl, when she has a mission,like the reactionary, yes-woman she is, follow the money-

They are starting with a bang,no doubt- to insure, they will have the US pay in more than the blood of soldiers....

*Really fucking hate politics-Almost as much as I hate Bushes, Gores, Clintons, and Whores!-Like Pelosi, Boxer, and the dickless men in their group.

Hmmm, must be some cult of personality...Posted some Gainsbourg a bit back and it died in the queue- Love for petrolsimian!

LadyBug trying to build a cult of personality? I will not be swayed.
