The neocons like to attack other religions and cultures as inferior - look at what may be coming to one of their candidates:


Characteristics Associated with Cultic Groups - Revised
Janja Lalich, Ph.D. & Michael D. Langone, Ph.D.

Concerted efforts at influence and control lie at the core of cultic groups, programs, and relationships. The following list of social-structural, social-psychological, and interpersonal behavioral patterns commonly found in cultic environments may be helpful in assessing a particular group or relationship.



hmmm, our leader is a living saint - our first leader got a list made of gold - yours got one made of only stone.

‪excommunication is common

hmm, no Coke, but you can drink Pepsi, wear long johns, only marry other people like us....

again, our leader is the true leader

‪for obvious reasons

‪if you know one you know what this means

but only 2 years at a time

‪unquestionable

bingo! the most money collected in the history of politics

‪so true

‪documented over and over again.

Cults require keeping members away from other information sources. Neo-cons don't do that... unless they're in the President's administration.

Get this crap off the site. G Bush is a good man, and he's not German or occultist!

Didn't know Bush was running for president.

Comparing Neo Cons to Nazi's?

That's a good one.

If only you had some examples of Nazi like tendencies of the Neo Cons. Tell me where exactly do the Neo Cons preach about exterminating a whole race of people or enslaving them? Find me some evidence of this.

Neo Cons to a cult as well.
Another cracker there.

Again, cult like tendencies? Worshipping a dead leader and restricting access to information hmm, sounds like most regimes in the world and religons. Mao is an icon in China and they worship him, calling the government of China a cult? A Cult is a small dedicated group of extremists, not a government, ideology, religon.

Just another person who thinks that god forbid we try and install democracy. You know it is democratic imperialism and frankly there should be more of it.
Gives people the best form of government in the world and prevents conflict with the country in future once democracy has been installed. But you know just leave them alone, let's not help people.

who said Nazi?

CANDIDATE

comprendo?

The description had nothing to do with Nazis. It was a general description of a cult. Yes, the Nazis had things in common with a cult... but so did Christianity when it was founded.
Just like both Jesus and Hitler are examples of a charismatic leader.

Simplifying this into "neo-cons equivalent to nazis" is like saying the above comment means I'm saying "Jesus is equivalent to Hitler"

Two different things can have the same classification in some dimension without being the same thing completely.

Quote:

there is no "mostly unique;" thats like saying "sometimes always," its an oxymoron - its either one or the other.

The result:

Quote:

By the mid-19th century unique had developed a wider meaning, “not typical, unusual,” and it is in this wider sense that it is compared. The comparison of so-called absolutes in senses that are not absolute is standard in all varieties of speech and writing.

Oh, don't pretend you don't know which candidate I'm talking about.
