I figured out the apeal of the teabag movement, the religious right, and conspiracy wackadoodlism.
   
They all have some common denominators. The adherents all tend to be "low information voters" with spotty education, and somewhat dim economi prospects. The adherents are also people with deep-seated inferiority complexes that manifest in them wanting to be the smartest people in the room, even if they have to bellow complete bullshit to leave that impression.

So, to assuage their deep-seated feelings of inferiority, the teabagger/reliogo-nut/conspiracy wackadoodle lacthes onto one of the aforementiond groups because they are sources of "secret knowledge" and therefore put the person on a higher level than the educated individuals that they fear and loathe.

This make any sense?

2. Yep. You're describing paranoia manipulated.
   
At a lower level of critical thinking, it's just the message, "Government doesn't care about you" which isn't unreasonable in itself. But if you mix it with ignorance you get stuff like "Government out of my Medicare!".

And at the lowest level, it's the message that you are a victim. It appeals to the 2 year old in most of us.

The Demonrats have been playing that victim card on blacks for so long.

3. Yes. It's also divide-and-conquer.
   
Keep the poor whites angry and upset at "muslins" and "illegal aliens who are stealing our jobs" and they won't focus on the people who ARE oppressing them.

Keep the poor blacks angry and upset at whitey and the man that is keeping them down and they won't focus on the people who ARE keeping them on the plantation and in the ghettos.

I am not a spelling fanatic but if you are going to make a post suggesting that anyone differing from you is just stupid you damn well make sure you appear to have a certain amount of intellect and education.

You missed one.

It's also not a good idea to use baby-babble and made-up words like "religio" and "wackadoodlism".

Well I see they're still not capable of intellectualizing beyond their safe, comfortable stereotypes. Complex thought eludes them.

There is one common denominator and that is COMMON SENSE. Something that DUmbasses have very little of.

Can anybody direct me to a photographed Teaparty sign that says "Government out of my Medicare!"  I will stand corrected, but I assert this has never ever happened.  And Beth keeps repeating it.

It says "Government out of my MediHealthcare!" She's just a lyin' POS!

After all, she's just a typical DUmbass, so it's expected!

Well since Medicare IS her Healthcare you can see why she thinks that way.  :-)
