So began the relationship of a new blog, ‘Cavalcade of Conflictedness’, with me as I commented on Sadie Love’s blog (her real name?) today. I was asking a question about how a well known fact like Virgil Goode taking illegal contributions from MZM, has become alleged, even though Goode himself has admitted it. And how someone could tell if George Soros’ money was used in a political campaign (through Move-On I suppose). Facts are not important, ideology is. The truth isn’t important, the message of the party is. We had seen this non-stop on the campaign trail with John McCain and Sarah Palin.
This doesn’t really bother me, but it is instructive into the brainwashing and groupthink that goes on in the Republican Party. After all, it is not that I am right, it is that I am a liberal.
And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is my sin, and it is the truth.
By the way, Sadie? Thanks so much for the welcome to your blog. It has that smell of idiocy and desperation about it.
A college student who misspells the title of her blog. Nice. It’s “Cavalcade”, btw.
And one of her comments sums it all up nicely: “I forget what it is called but basically when a person spends enough time in a certain environment, he/she absorbs the ideology without even knowing it. Thar ya go.”
She also misspelled “illiterate” (spelled it “alliterate”), which is really funny when you think about it.
Thanks for posting the link to her blog; it was a good laugh. “You keep on your side!”
