Explaining the Pee Stain

(updated)

I am quite convinced that political ideology is hardwired into our brains for the most part. I often comment on Doug's propensity to write, obsessively, about the inevitable assault on our "way of life" by the "Islamofacsists". The degree to which the loons froth about the coming "combat in the American streets" is simply bizarre.. but they are pretty consistent about it. In the past, I thought maybe it was just a talking point pushed in order to scare average Americans. Perhaps they really do believe it.

Greenwald has yet another terrific essay on why the conservatives are constantly pissing all over themselves in this constant fear, and why violence gives them a boner.

In his excellent and well-documented book "The Wimp Factor," Psychology Professor Stephen Ducat reviews clinical studies which demonstrate that many men "are more likely to experience a vicarious boost in their own sense of power and potency when American military forces attack, and especially when they defeat, an enemy." Neoconservative war tracts almost invariably are suffuse with explicit warnings about submission and humiliation.

There's isn't much room to debate that the loons get visceral thrill from violence. Hell, I know how that goes. I like watching a good boxing match, or mixed martial arts.. a hard hitting football game, and other contact sports. Thing is.. when the violence escalates beyond a sporting competition, when it comes to people actually dying, I experience a sense of aversion. There is no thrill in that. It's disgusting.

The people that regularly pee themselves.. well.. they feel more like a man to see others doing horrific things. It's all so disgusting.

If we withdraw our troops, and Bin Laden says we "lost" the war.. well.. I don't give a fuck. I don't give a shit what people like that would say anyway. The loons, however, would insist this will somehow "embolden" the terraists - and all of a sudden Mohammad is going to strap on a bomb belt and run up my drive way.

Uh huh..

/update

Good lord.. Greenwald updated his post with a quote from Normon Podhoretz - god father of the Loon Brigade. To think that in some way.. the Iraq war is the result of him getting his ass kicked by some black kids on a playground..

They really are fear driven pee stained cowards.
