Feeling lucky?
The question all American is asking:
Heh.
OK, it's a cheap shot. Or not so cheap. The hysteria, often sexual, beneath wingerly rhetoric is obvious, as soon as you look for it.
It isn't coincidence that in case after case, a winger moral exemplar is exposed as being guilty of precisely the same actions ("sins," if you will) that he excoriates others for. It's structural—the wingers are Pharisees (back here).
And because the wingers are Pharisees, they cannot admit their true nature to themselves; their hysteria stems from the need to maintain their facades. We have named this hysterical behavior WPS, back (Winger Projection Syndrome).
The wingers are and will be Pharisees, "those who practice their piety before others in order to be seen by them" (a great sin, according to Jesus). They will never change, if for no other reason than that the worldly rewards are so great for being who and what they are; they are and will be Pharisees.
A strategic consequence: our enemy—I do not hesitate to use that word—is spiritually and psychologically immobilized. We can exploit their immobility by exposing them, mocking them, holding them up to ridicule, and otherwise assaulting their abilities to pose as representatives of anything other than their own base desires. We can break their code.
Dirty work, but someone has to do it.
What Bush mandate?
