Why they hate us: Because they can't control us!

By Jane Stillwater

Okay. I have a question for you. Could someone please explain this to me? Here we have George W. Bush and his buddies, sitting in the catbird seat, the ultimate Big Cheeses, in control of the entire world. They got the money. They got the guns. They got control of the White House, the Congress AND the Supreme Court. They are heroes and gods to the world's elite -- those rich-beyond-your-wildest-dreams global corporations who run the economies of every country in the world with the possible exception of Cuba and Venezuela. They have more celebrity status than Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They OWN the media. Katie Couric regularly kisses their butts. They got their own fleet of Learjets tricked out with fancy names like "Air Force One". They gots hundreds of billions of dollars salted away in Swiss bank accounts. The IRS pumps our money into THEIR gas tanks. In possession of America's multi-trillion-dollar economy for collateral, they can max out their credit cards any time they want.

With all that going for them, why would Bush and his buddies even notice us little bloggers and malcontents and "liberals"? With that kind of money, status and power -- not to mention weaponry -- why would they even care we exist? With more power and more money and more status than anybody in the history of the world including Julius Caesar, why do these guys spend 18 hours out of each 24-hour day hating us, passing wiretapping laws against us, setting up situations that will make it legal to torture us? Trying to scare us, focusing on us, arresting us, calling us names?Go away, Mr. Bush. Go fly off to Crawford or London or Kennebunkport. Enjoy your power and wealth and celebrity -- and just leave us alone!

Why do they hate us so much? Why does Keith Olbermann get so viciously attacked and William Rivers Pitt worry about "disappearing" and everyone in my e-mail group exchange phone numbers in case the internet shuts us down?

They hate us because they can't control us...because they know that for all their wealth and power, they need us -- all of us, all of the wretched of the earth. But guess what? We don't need them. If we absolutely have to, we will live in cardboard huts out in the desert and eat fried worms with our fingers -- if that's what it takes to be free. Bush and his buddies know this. They know that they can't control us. And that's why they hate us so much.

8. I think
republicans are moral degenerates.Beneath human beings because they have no conscience.. They deserve no place in power. They deserve the contempt of the entire human race they seek to control..,and republicans deserve to be seen as the con men,fascists, and bullies and perverts they really ARE.And treated as what they are.

4. Awesome!
But, what is really troubling is that they can control their base, which, thankfully is shrinking. It's almost in line with cult programming, tell them what they want to hear. Where is this country going?

6. Yes!
Every Authoritarian and psychopath personality,HATES anyone they cannot dominate,control,exploit,dupe,use, or crush.
Because people they cannot use or destroy are whom can take away their power,their false'authority,,expose their tactics and ruin their access to more power,the people they use to hide,lie,to insulate themselves from ever taking responsibility for the ugly reality of what their own behavior that harms,hurts and what it costs,humanity when they are made into a victims of these psychopaths.

Psychopaths HATE when victims have a voice and speak up to tell their stories of what happened to them at the hands of psychopaths when in public. Psychopaths cannot stand it when a victim's pain is taken seriously and victims are helped ,protected,educated about abuse dynamics and defended by others. Psychopaths HATE the people that see through the Psychopaths mask of sanity ,his lies and sick group dynamic games.Psychopaths despise the courageous ,ethically ruthless, outraged ,compassionate people who defend the weaker and the wounded the minority and victim,who are seeing through the psychopaths ruse,People that will not be controlled ,manipulated,or silenced by a bully or it's enablers that is it's culture for company!!..

10. And that's why they want to torture People before murdering them,
by proxy, in the current Republican junta's case.

9. I wonder if they care enough to hate us
because we malcontents lend credence to their false claims of victimhood. If you notice, a certain type (not all) of republican voter will go from gloating over their party's victories one minute to whining about how put upon they are by the powerless, minority party the next. They brag about being the winners and the majority party but easily forget that there is no way the evil liberals can have their way these days.

A person I really like recently said with a straight face that the media treats this president worse than they've ever treated any other. That's just downright scary because it means a certain type of voter believes what they're told versus what really happens. Why? Because the republicans are fantastic at acting like they're in a perpetual life or death struggle to save morality and America and anyone not with them is an enemy with the opposite intent.

11. Welcome to the authoritarian personality
They have to absolutely control everything because they're right and they're right because they absolutely control everything.

If they can't control you, they'll try and destroy you.
