Does Disagreeing With Obama Make You a Racist?




Of course it does!

If recognizing ignorance and stupidity in people of any color makes one a racist...then I guess I am one, too.

What a way someone can be ostracized once again for questioning the powers that be. Incessantly referring to anyone who disagrees with popular opinion for any of the reasons from because of their own opposing opinions to simple disregard of the bandwagon, either as a 'racist' in today's world or 'commie bastard' of yesteryear, is simply a way of glorifying silent obedience and cognitive dissonance. I am neither a democrap nor a repug. The two party system is a marionette stage. Never stop questioning the people who own you.

In addition, to abandon many of the principles upon which a demagogue campaigns is the sad inevitability of trusting a demagogue. Especially one so cleverly designed to woo the public into believing such a revolution will ever occur. It never will. The powers that be will stay in command, and the people will never have power through peaceful subversion. Diplomacy will always be taken advantage of by greedy, wealthy and charismatic liars. Each and every one of us will ALWAYS be owned by not only our own greed, but the greed of others.

How does it glorify cognitive dissonance? Perhaps we don't have the same definition.

Well it certainly seems that, unless the flow chart was created in satire, the creator was definitely utilizing cognitive dissonance in that the creator justifies these claims with an irrational reasoning taken canonically. (In disregard to the ONE exception allotted for disagreement)I would say the chart, for while it may not exactly glorify the subconscious act of cognitive dissonance, surely epitomizes it.
