The people who followed Jim Jones trusted and believed in him. They even went to Guayana, where Jim Jones promised to start a new society, just like the Republicans, led by Newt Gingrich, promised to start a new America. Just like the neocons envisioned their Project for a New American Century.

These trusting believers gave up all they had, or gave it to Jim Jones and his handlers. These believers put their very lives in Jim Jones’ hands. They trusted him, his integrity, his Christian faith. The Bush believers are dwindling in numbers. The remaining loyalists tend to be the members of the religious far right, macho guys who use Bush bravado and the support of the war as a pathetic form of Viagra, wealthy parasites who want to benefit from the fertile financial climate the US provides without paying their share, and corporatists who are making a fortune working with the crooked Bush administration and its right wing extremist republican cronies.

The Viagra boys are pathetic dummies and loser. About all we can expect from them is they will continue listening to idiots like Limbaugh, Beck and Hannity, who publicly masturbate their egos on their shows every day.

The corporatists and wealthy leeches will keep on milking the situation as long as they can. They are soul-less, integrity devoid people and entities. They must be strictly regulated. Otherwise they will take all they can.

And then there are the far right evangelicals, and maybe, some misguided farmers and just stupid white men, like Michael Moore described in his book.

Yet we know that even among the hypnotized fools who followed Jones to his horror haven in Guayana, some awakened at the last minute and survived the final suicide.

Here we have the tens of millions of dupes who are being suckered by the James Dobson, the Left Behind Series and the morally bankrupt, power intoxicated parasitic leaders of megachurches. They wait for the rapture, not worrying about the destruction of the environment, the inflaming of war and and misery in the middle east.

What will it take to wake at least some of them up? How destructive will the ones who will be willing to drink the final, arsenic-laced kool-aid the right wing extremist republicans are serving?

If we'd known what Jim Jones would do, what extreme measures would have been justified to prevent the mass murder/suicide he induced? What about America?

Like minds think alike...

I have met many of the Bush supporter types that you've described in your commentary. I can only hope that the majority of the American people finally "Get It" now and can see through the hypocracy and lies we've been fed by this administration and obviously by his numbers in the polls people are a lot smarter once they have the facts to see through the smoke and mirrors. Fear and social intolerance fueled the last 2 elections and maybe even some voter tampering. I believe the number of people who now disapprove with what this administration has done to us as a country will make whomever runs against the Republicans in the upcoming elections to win by huge landslide victories. The faith and trust of the Neo-Cons has been lost as common sense, truth and justice rise to the surface once again. I can honestly say that so far in my lifetime, and I'm only 38y/o, Bill Clinton is the best President I have had the pleasure of living through. I have seen him have real emotion, grace under pressure and a strength through kindness and gentleness. He embodied what the Republicans preach but, have never practiced, a kinder gentler nation and real American values. We are all human and we all make mistakes but, I don't think Bill ever thought that his involvement with Monica would ever have hurt anyone the way it did and his indiscretion got the better of him. Unlike this administration that has continuously set out to lie, cheat and steal from the American people in the name of terror and moral values. We won't be fooled again. Take Care, Chuck :) "The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries." James Madison (American 4th US President (1809-17), and one of the founding fathers of his country. 1751-1836)
