Stupid teabaggers in stupid state to your south.

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Stupid teabaggers in stupid state to your south.

Unread post by Stinger »

After recently mentioning the claim by some extremely ignorant, extremely gullible, extremely dense nutters that Obama uses hypnotic techniques when he speaks to brainwash people, and thinking that this insanity had run its course, I run across this:
President Obama is using a Cold War-era mind-control technique known as "Delphi" to coerce Americans into accepting his plan for a United Nations-run communist dictatorship in which suburbanites will be forcibly relocated to cities. That's according to a four-hour briefing delivered to Republican state senators at the Georgia state Capitol last month.

On October 11, at a closed-door meeting of the Republican caucus convened by the body's majority leader, Chip Rogers, a tea party activist told Republican lawmakers that Obama was mounting this most diabolical conspiracy. The event—captured on tape by a member of the Athens-based watchdog Better Georgia (who was removed from the room after 52 minutes)—had been billed as an information session on Agenda 21, a nonbinding UN agreement that commits member nations to promote sustainable development. In the eyes of conservative activists, Agenda 21 is a nefarious plot that includes forcibly relocating non-urban-dwellers and prescribing mandatory contraception as a means of curbing population growth. The invitation to the Georgia state Senate event noted the presentation would explain: "How pleasant sounding names are fostering a Socialist plan to change the way we live, eat, learn, and communicate to 'save the earth.'"

I just ran across Glenn Beck's 85th book -- Agenda 21 -- and wondered what it was about. Now, I know. (Actually, Beck didn't write the book. He purchased it from Harriet Parke and calls himself the author.)

Now, I find that Georgia legislators, led by Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers, attended an Agenda 21 seminar of paranoid delusionals. Rogers actually organized the lecture.

The election and tolerance of this sort of stupidity certainly explains the red states. A senate majority leader in any state in the United States organizing this sort of harebrained stupidity and inviting legislators to it is simply stunning. You just can't fix stupid.

"Agenda 21" is one those plans that regularly come out of the UN - in this case 20 years ago - full of idealists' ideas of what everyone else should do. Some of it good and realistic, some of it not. (None of it involving the mass murders and mass relocations that the wingnuts claim.)

It's a collection of ideas, not a treaty, not a law. It has no more legal weight than if it came out of the green club at your local high school. Governments will adopt the bits the voters like - and would have adopted anyway - and ignore the rest.

Any good conspiracy theory is wrapped around something real. Environmental and sustainable development laws are real, and were around long before Agenda 21. School kids here were taught about environmentalism and sustainable development in the 1970s. Agenda 21 is a real idea, but powerless. But both can be bundled into one grand conspiracy theory whereby Agenda 21 has the power to create laws. Any mention, anywhere, of sustainable development becomes part of The Conspiracy.

It's this decade's version of the North American Union and Amero, that Beck, WingNutDaily and the rest told us repeatedly was coming by 2005 er, 2006 er, 2007 er, 2008 er, 2010.

I occasionally make up a really ridiculous, totally idiotic idea and google it just to see what comes up. You'd be surprised (or maybe not) at how many of them are actually around in one form or another. Try it - it's fun if you can stand the idea that some of these people might be over in the next holler from you.

Don't think it was Turdwhistle. There's no gay angle.

How do "people" who believe this crap manage to walk upright?

Some of the local wingnuts have been writing letters to the TN about the great threat
of Agenda 21. These folks are so crazily paranoid I didn't even bother to look it up.
With nutjobs, past performance is pretty much a guarantee of future results: :crazy:

I occasionally try to create exciting new conspiracy theories for the wingnuts. Ask me about pigeons!
