Yet another religious cult raided

[Occhidiangela]

Wow. If I whine about Bush, it's BDS. If I whine about someone associated with Bush, it's BDS. If I so much as reference someone associated with someone else associated with Bush, in a context that has nothing to do with Bush, it's BDS. This is quite the diagnosis, Dr. Occhi. Maybe you're suffering from BDSDS.

Given the amount of BS offered up from North of the border, why does that surprise you?

My post was taking a jab at Kandrathe, a supposed and professed Jeffersonian, for voicing the cynical opinion that the great masses of people need to be fed comforting untruths lest they become lost little lambs. Jefferson (and Mal Reynolds) would have found that revolting. That's the extent of my comment.

OK.

What this has to do with Mao and the rest, I don't really know.

Your opener about the Lie to the Mob, which easily dovetails into the Lie of the Revolution that was perpetuated for about two centuries, on the masses, after the French Revolution.
Let's try this response again: use an applicable analogy.

Goodbye Thomas Jefferson, hello Leo Strauss.

Not quite.

Goodbye Thomas Jefferson, hello Woodrow Wilson.

Compare apples to apples.
