Just Another Duped Ideologue: Cindy Blogs Again

Drudge Report 9/12/05: “Cindy Sheehan calls for U.S to ‘Pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans’”.

Good Lord. How pathetic. Let’s talk about ideologues generally and then specifically. First a definition from Merriam-Webster:

Ideologue (variant idealogue): (1) An impractical idealist, theorist; (2) An often blindly partisan advocate or adherent of a particular ideology.

Please note the words “impractical” and “blindly partisan”.

Ideologues are often folks who are nothing but mindless sheep being herded; going, doing, and saying what they are told from ideologues higher up the food chain. And they are often too stupid to even realize it. Impractical means it ain’t practical, got it? Blindly partisan means to follow someone else’s lead without thought or self-awareness, which is the bedrock from which zealots like Nazis arise. To top it off, ideologue agendas are purely for the advancement of the self with no regard or concern as to the needs of society.

To understand the fallacy of ideologue logic, consider that hypothetically as long as one ideologue is followed 100%, there’s no problem within the scope of their limited worldview. But what if, like the real world, more than one exists? Only one can be followed and all others will judge society amiss and erroneous. See the conundrum? Each adds nothing and merely establishes negative and unachievable courses of action. In short, ideologues are nothing but loud-mouthed divisive farces (please note the satiric pun on “forces”) that should be ignored.

And I am very tired of them. Worse, I’m tired of the press covering them! The worst scum are ideologues with loads of money, whom people follow simply because of the wealth they can spread. George Soros is the best example of this, but both ends of the spectrum, liberal and conservative, have their fair share of reprobates.

Back to Cindy Sheehan; an ideologue manipulated by an ideologue (Michael Moore). Let’s see what her qualifications are for having the international political voice which the American press has given her. She is a mother and she can camp. Wow, I guess that makes her a political mastermind.

Now let’s dissect Cindy’s blog (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cindy-sheehan/a-bright-spot-in-bush-wor_b_7433.html):

“George Bush needs to stop talking, admit the mistakes of his all around failed administration, pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans and Iraq, and excuse his self from power.” Cindy, your ignorance of law betrays your extensive background for political analysis I just mentioned. Federal law prohibits the federal government from sending troops into a state; the troops in Louisiana and Mississippi were invited, in writing, by the Governors of those states. Hey, who needs facts anyway? Besides, can we really “occupy” our own country? Back to Cindy’s blog.

“The only way America will become more secure is if we have a new administration that cares about Americans even if they don't fall into the top two percent of the wealthiest.” Gee, those pesky facts keep getting in the way. Bush's 2004 budget added 2% more for entitlement programs than Clinton’s last budget. In fact, Bush is spending more on poverty entitlement programs and education than any President in history.

Unfortunately, Cindy is not unique. All ideologues preach ideologies of division and worse, of hate; she just makes for a perfect example. All ideologues, left and right, should just shut the hell up and let the rest of us pound out the daily “hard work” of establishing strategies and programs that advance American society as a whole, within a camaraderie of partnership and unity.

“Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.” -Martin Luther King Jr.
