Why are neocons so mean? Is it their philosophy that happiness is a sign

[applegrove]

of weakness?

1. Are they the descendants of John Calvin?

Actually it explains a lot.

[EC]

16. More like

Cotton Mather..

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Cotton did preach the theology

Of salvation through wealth. That is Calvin.

[EC]

18. True

but Cotton was American and Calvin French...

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. Swiss

But the cross pollination in the Netherlands was there. Both were part of the reformation.

Deep right now on Tudor England, truly alien world.

2. And why are they so damned ugly?

3. +1000 +++ n/t

[Lucy Goosey]

5. They're ugly on the inside, and it bleeds out.

9. Agree ....

8. "The loveless crave power because they lack both love and self..."

That's by Betty Friedan and I think it agrees with Lucy Goosey's comments ....


Also, these are usually people who will resort to violence -- "kill you as quick as

look at you" as one one our political observers noted of the GOP/right wingers --

I really think that violence is connected to self-hatred --




Good question -- :)

4. Because they have nothing else.

6. Are you saying the Bolton and Bush and such are so socially void

that they would fit into nowhere if neoconism had never been invented? Cause if you are I would agree. We now have a commissioner in the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) who seems to be a bolton. Huge personnel issue are taking place as we speak. Spooky.

7. I'll be mean right the hell BACK.

That'll be the DAY I play doormat to these know-nothing, rich-worshipping, infected ballsackolas. They're all badass behind their computer screens and police protection in public - but they're complete cowards when confronted.

They all think Democrat = weak, lily livered, "pansy", etc, because that's what they've been taught their whole lives. Yet how much courage does it take to bomb the shit out of helpless sovereign nations that did nothing to you, build up your military to the point that you can blow up the world 500 times over and steamroll the people who need the most help without losing an ounce of sleep?

[RKP5637]

12. They're sociopaths on steroids! n/t

[Ozymanithrax]

10. They believe power is the ultimate expression of a nation...

And that the U.S. must use its power to assure its place in the world.

When your primary concern is power, happines doesn't play much of a role.

[RedCloud]

11. Because 45 corporations ARE the donors and they are puppets.

[lonestarnot]

14. Yeah that'd leave one ugly, mean and unloved.

:shiver:

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

13. Being a conservative means.....

....never having to apologize for being selfish.

[applegrove]

15. I don't get all the ugly references. Unless what you really mean is the ugly american

or ugly on the inside.

[jgraz]

20. Happiness is only for those who can afford it.

If you're poor, it's your duty to suffer for the entertainment of your betters.

[applegrove]

21. I do think the neocons go a little spuirrely whenever something good happens to someone else.

Almost as if any sign of empathy or positive emotion is a threat to their impending domination of the world. LOL!
