I could not imagine watching a McCain political ad and thinking any sane person could believe it, yet millions do.Alex Pendragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877845166621794334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-29559175100519801432008-11-18T18:18:00.000-05:002008-11-18T18:18:00.000-05:00It is amazing that people get sucked in.

I watched my parents get brain washed by the evangelicals...they were normal educated parents..then all of sudden they had the fear of god in them...it was strange to watch the change. I always wonder why my mind was never taken.sagewebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818567803401688931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-4046179640146915262008-11-18T18:09:00.000-05:002008-11-18T18:09:00.000-05:00i remember when it happened too..was in calif..and...i remember when it happened too..was in calif..and remember thinking how can people be so stupid..i saw films of him and it was so obvious that he was on speed that i couldn't believe no one else noticed..<BR/>when david koresh made one of his trips to waco he happened to stop by the bar where my daughter worked...she was not impressed at all..and when he said he was a incarnation of Jesus, she laughed and said..oh no your not..I'm Jesus Christ, not get the fuck out of her..yellowdoggrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906624317290990109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-25492405034530906362008-11-18T16:20:00.000-05:002008-11-18T16:20:00.000-05:00msrb, I remember Jonestown.

Those people didn't just one day turn over their lives to that lunatic...they did it a small piece at the time and then one day it was too late. When Ryan was killed the whole world was about to descend on their secret home and the jig was up for Jones. <BR/>If I remember right there was evidence that quite a few people were shot trying to get out of there. They saw what they had become too late. <BR/>It's the slow, piece at a time brainwashing that is so dangerous, people who are otherwise rational go along one step at a time.Celestitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786165729352851549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-75150766273274263142008-11-18T14:58:00.000-05:002008-11-18T14:58:00.000-05:00I watched a documentary on Jonestown.

Same with the whole Waco, Texas cult, and those comet followers (and so many others). How can people listen to these crazies and think "yeah, I'd kill my child for him!"<BR/><BR/>Astounding.KrisMrsBBradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14988742743150495260noreply@blogger.com
