Day236-RCH (Is Evolving Opinion "Insanity?")

"They hate you for having one -- then hate you for changing your mind!"

Is Evolving Opinion "Insanity?"
(OpEd – Priest River, ID, Sunday, April 23, 2006)

The term “9/11” is mentioned countless times daily. Opinion polls suggest dwindling support for the war in Iraq and the Bush Administration's global counter-terrorism initiatives. Many whom have always supported President Bush refer to non-support as a form of mental-illness.

“Winning Hearts And Minds” is the campaign of unity, uniting diverse schools-of-thought. Professional marketers and behaviorists have used blatant ridicule as a form of persuasion, which can only be described as “irrational exuberance,” to borrow Alan Greenspans famous words. In psychology, this is often referred to as “Group Think,” where all other opinions are ridiculed by those residing inside of self-made bell-chambers, congratulating themselves on fictional success, while the building burns down around them, unawares. It is proved-out by dipping poll numbers.

Learning by example, those not supportive of the Bush Administration's global counter-terrorism initiatives, return the same ridicule, furthering divides. This is exactly why “Winning Hearts And Minds” has failed.

Having an opinion is considered, “signs of instability,” yet changing your opinion is considered to be “more signs of instability.” This is the direct result of the failed logic of the advanced-degree holding experts working for the Bush Administration and corporate-media, undermining the Presidency, and bringing the world closer to war, instead of uniting in peace, as the President has ordered.

By focusing on these logic-gap failures, the advanced-degree holding experts manipulate public and government opinion, subtly, promoting and profiting from their own gains and stability, while the remainder of the world suffers from instability. This undermines the initiative to win hearts and minds, and the public opinion polls reflect exactly that. No other opinions are heard, and no other analysis is considered credible.

“I am the war President!” said President Bush during his first elected term in office. At that time, the advance-degree holding experts were called in to prove themselves and unite the country, the entire world. Instead of winning hearts and minds, they undermined the unity of global cooperation in defending against the war that nobody asked for, waged against the people of every government by hateful religious supremacists.

“I am a uniter, not a divider!” said President Bush. And the advanced-degree holding experts have divided, not united. The poll numbers prove this fact.

Past failed presidencies have asked for war. The shame on the country has resulted in everything from the napalm use on innocent citizens in South-east Asia, to the Iran-Contra scandals, and more. The so-called 'experts' did that. President Bush has been entrapped by exercising the same failed logic, undermining his purpose, his mission, the mission-critical assignment of uniting, not dividing. This was done in self-importance, inside self-made bell-chambers, while the building burns around them, at the President's expense.

Meanwhile, those same self-important experts profit from atop the rubble, debris, misery and grief. After the fact, their own opinions are the only voices heard. And that is the exact reason why hateful religious supremacy exists in the world at all.

Nobody supports dividing and the killing of innocents, relegating the importance of innocent life as being “collateral damage.” Everybody is important. Everybody. Hateful Religious Supremacists waged war against the world, and it has been the leadership of President Bush that has been trying defend against it, with the brave and courageous men and women that serve and protect all families, here and abroad.

He thought it would be an easier task, as we all do before beginning difficult accomplishments. “I am the war President!” he stated, because he knew our excellent defenders in uniform could accomplish assigned duties and liberate the world from war waged against it by hateful religious supremacy, globally. In hind-sight, perhaps the words, “I am the defender, President!” would have been better words. When given the opportunity to run to the aide of people and governments, all defenders, police, emergency-response personnel, rescuers and fire-fighters get excited. Saving someone, feels good. No “thank yous” required, the accomplishment itself rewarding enough.

Hateful Religious Supremacy divides, rotting states, countries and continents from the inside out. The “Winning Hearts And Minds” campaign, therefore, undermined itself, infested with the same mindset that promises divisions, not unity. And that's the “best of the best” the so-called 'best' could do, proving a whole new world of grief in today's society.

No one supports wars, but everybody supports defending against the hateful religious supremacy mindset that causes them. The campaign to win hearts and minds is not lost yet, but at it's current pace, it has promised a 'legacy of shame.' Those genius-experts that undermined peace, prolonging defensive action against war waged on the world, are directly responsible for countless unnecessary deaths, past, present and future, focused on self-importance instead of global unity, and therefore should be reassigned immediately. And the only 'no's heard will be theirs, as usual.

In order to counter the damage done by infectious supremacy that promises a legacy of shame, a new method in uniting differences must take top priority. Instead of the double-standard of ridicule -- lofting one's self supreme at the expense of Presidents, monarchs, governments, people and family -- defense against hateful religious supremacy, regardless of name or function, in a new legacy of liberation, must be met head-on.
