Fred Clark turns the scripted actions of the teabag mob into poetry.
The smug-junkies are lining up for the latest designer drug to hit the streets, a hot-shot of fentanyl-laced oblivion that is viewed, in the perverse logic of the addict, as the really good stuff.
The Pursuit of Offendedness is never pretty, but don't avert your gaze from the horrors of what you're about to see. Look on with pity at the degradations of stupidity and dishonesty and the realization that these poor addicts in the throes of their disease are willing to abandon all reason, all integrity, and reality itself for the diminishing returns of chasing that ever-receding high of moral superiority....Obama's national healthcare that will euthanize America's seniors and the disabled through the rationing of healthcare, make someone's intrinsic value based on the State's definition of whether or not they are productive human resource, require doctors to break their Hippocratic Oath in order to be able to make a living and continue practicing medicine, force seniors on Medicare to go through "end of life counseling" every five years so they can be brainwashed into the liberal's "duty to die" propaganda ...[via Christian Worldview Network]
This downward plunge is bound to accelerate. The goal is a feeling of moral superiority, achieved at first by telling oneself little lies about the behavior and motivations of others. But those little lies lead to feelings of guilt. That guilt is legitimate, earned and wholly deserved, but this isn't about whether one's feelings are just or appropriate, it's about whether one's feelings feel good. So the guilt provokes a feeling of moral inferiority that can, for those addicted, only be countered by telling slightly larger lies about the even-more-inferior morality of others. Those bigger lies carry with them a larger sense of guilt and so the cycle repeats itself again and again with the lies getting larger and larger. And with every downward spiral, the ever-larger lies become ever more implausible, so that it becomes harder and harder to pretend that one actually believes the lies one is telling oneself and the guilt becomes that much more intense and undeniable and can only be staved off, temporarily, through ever more outrageous lies until finally one finds oneself desperately asserting that President Obama's desire to provide health care for the uninsured is actually a plot to murder your grandmother in cold blood and reinstate the Third Reich here in America.......Even now the implausibility and the outlandishness of this Obama The Grandma-Killer lie is taking too much work to maintain, killing whatever buzz they might have gotten from the first rush of moral superiority. Plus this whole forced-euthanasia meme is being used to help kill health care reform, which even Brannon Howse will dimly realize will result in more troubles for people already facing trouble enough. So they're in for a hell of a crash and a world of guilty pain when this lie wears off.
What will they do then? What do they always do? They'll chase the next fix -- something bigger, stronger and even more outrageous....

I didn't have time to read the comments thread but his community is always a lot of fun.
Some barrels have no bottom?Maji: I don't want to be a human being anymore. I want to be heavily altered by bionics or genetic recoding or transplantation of my consciousness into an alien body such that I am no longer a member of the human species.

Would you consider joining the Church of the SubGenius? All the alienation from the idiot normals you can want, it's only $30, and the surgery can be done by mail!
