Obama, Conformity, and the Asch Effect

Are people conforming to following Barack Obama even though they know it is wrong?  Research would suggest that could be the case.  The Asch Conformity Experiment is a case in point.

Solomon Asch experimented with the power of conformity in 1953. Those taking part in the study were told that they were part of a vision test with a handful of others. The participants were then shown pictures.  Then they were asked very simple and obvious questions. Here is the catch. Everybody else in the room other than the subject was in on it, and they were were told to give wrong answers. So would people go against the crowd, even when the crowd was clearly wrong?

Here is a sample question.  People were asked to select the line that was exactly like the the one on the left. Thirty-two percent of subjects answered incorrectly if three others in the classroom gave the same wrong answer.  This is the Asch Effect.

We all know Barack Obama is inexperienced and nothing but a political neophyte.  He is wrong for America in so many ways – taxes, socialism, leftist, civil liberties, demogaguery, and more.  Yet, once he amassed his media and internet crowd, the Asch effect seems to be taking place.  People are afraid to go against the crowd even though it is an obviously wrong choice. Worse yet, even though his executive experience is less than Sarah Palin, she is considered “bad” and he is considered “good”, because that is the “popular” viewpoint.

Is it the Asch Effect?  You decide.

Osama bin Laden and his Muslim millions are targeting the world’s schools and targeting school children: They ARE coming to ours, too, and very soon.

Terror at Beslan: A Russian Tragedy with Lessons for America’s Schools [Paperback] by John Giduck. Beslan is NOT a one-off; not before, not now and not in the abyss-like vortex of the coming MUSLIM made assault on our children and schools.

Ok. Now listen up fellow citizens of the amazingly still free Western Canon, currently under a relentless asymetrical assault by the Marxist Left and the totalitarian Death Cults of Islam. As the title says, little is known by most anyone about the full story of Beslan and Islam. Nope, not a tedious conspiracy bore, but the simple fact of the stratospheric nihilistic child murdering nature of Islam itself and by default millions of Muslims who practice it.

The awesomely qualified, profoundly experienced and empirical scholar John Giduck has the most in depth and witheringly terrible book on it all. The twist is that there is enormous evidence that true Muslims are planning a massive and co-ordinated assault on American schools. Yes they are. Just like Beslan. And just like they ALREADY do across the world. This is Islam. Buy the book. Read it. Accept it and ACT effectively as the book directs.

I will. Even if it’s now illegal to survive, folks…Continue reading on Colonel Robert Neville Always Dresses for Dinner >>

Fonda Is Weeping, Jong Is In Spasm-All Because Of Pre-Election Madness.

I have gone on record as an author, a therapist, a professor, an expert courtroom witness – and an activist to document and oppose the ways in which false psychiatric diagnoses are used to stigmatize, even demonize people. But, I’ve never denied that mental illness exists. On the contrary. It is a formidable enemy and causes great human suffering.

Still, I am uncertain about how to describe certain political “crowd” behaviors that might be characterized as “mad,” cult-like, hysterical. In the Wall Street Journal, Fouad Ajami, quotes Elias Cannetti’s 1960 work about Crowds and Power. Cannetti believes that marching together gives people the “illusion of equality.” But Ajami views American pro-Obama crowds as behaving more and more like crowds on the Arab Street, with huge emotionality and faith in a Great Leader. Ajami states that the “politics of charisma wrecked Arab and Muslim societies.”

Etihad Is An Anagram For I Death.

Welcome to Flight 9/11 via New York and thank you for flying with Muslim Airlines. We’ll be travelling at approximately less than 900 feet at a speed of 650 miles per hour, but with a very sudden stop. I know a minority have expressed doubts about our final true goals and destination on this long journey to Islamic Paradise and a Global Caliphate. As you’ve trusted your MSM, academia and governments, trust us. We’re Muslims.

“I am become death, the destroyer of worlds”. Robert Oppenheimer, Trinity 1945.

“Never face facts; if you do, you’ll never get up in the morning”. Marlo Thomas.

Colonel Neville: How much shit does Islam suck? All of it. I wonder how far along the scale of doom things are? If Islamisation can be measured from from say zero with no real percentage of Muslim population and thus no Muslim Taquiyaa demands, to the classic empirical of a Muslim majority and thus total Sharia Hell at one metre, well, how far along are we to our own complete submission, dhimmitude, doom and mass murder?

With thousnads of Muslim bullshit artists supported by the MSM, academia, the education system, the government and the law, plus more Muslim immigration and Saudi/OPEC funding buy-ups and their massive PR, AND their Leftard supporters and big business dhimmi treason, I’d say we’re at least 20% of the way to Hell on Earth.

Yes, that’ll do nicely.

One post ago, under the title of ‘The Unforgiven: Islamisation For A Few Dollars More’, I wrote about my relentlessly dhimmifying and Islamising Australia and the wonderful Abu Dhabi government-backed Etihad Airways and Child Slavery Pedophile PR Corporation. To paraphrase Spike Milligan, their part in our downfall.

With their inexhaustible petro dollars, the façade of Etihad Air, [The Arab Emirates of which Abu Dhabi is a member state] has bought, the sponsorship rights to the Telstra Dome. It’s right in the Docklands development in the heart of Melbourne. Fantastic, eh? Gotta love the the I Death Dome.

Sarah and the Feminists

The Culture and Media Institute has just released a study entitled Character Assassination: How the TV Networks Have Portrayed Sarah Palin as Dunce or Demon. It documents that the mainstream media’s hostility to Governor Sarah Palin has been extreme, perhaps unprecedented. While the majority of the attacks have been launched by men, media women, including feminists on both sides of the aisle, have not been shy.

Many female journalists, including feminist activists Eve Ensler, Kim Gandy, Eleanor Smeal, Gloria Steinem, and Judith Warner, attacked Palin on the issues–abortion, birth control, equal pay, gun control, the environment, energy, and religion. This is entirely legitimate. But their tone was often unexpectedly and extremely personal, cruel, slightly hysterical. Palin gives Ensler “nightmares.” Warner views her as “fake as they come” and as “America’s Hottest Governor (Princess of the Fur Rendezvous 1983, Miss Wasilla).” Warner softens and, in a second piece views Palin as womens’ “inner Elle Woods,” the heroine played by Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde.

Redistributing the Wealth In Action

The following object lesson in wealth redistribution is from my blogger friend Lennie, of the satiricle blog, Obamastates of America.

The following was in the Voice of the People in Wednesdays Chicago Tribune. (Hat tip: A Chicago Blog)

On my way to lunch recently, I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read “Vote Obama; I need the money.” I laughed. In a restaurant my server had on an “Obama 08″ tie. Again I laughed. Just imagine the coincidence. When the bill came, I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Barack-Obama-redistribution-of-wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need—the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight. I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I’ve decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful. At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment, I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more. I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

After reading this, I think we should all put this into action. Every time you go out to a restaurant from now until the election, ask your server who they are supporting (after you are done with your meal). If they are supporting Obama tell them you are happy to hear that and you are glad they are so compassionate towards the less fortunate. Then tell then you are going to donate their tip to the next homeless person you see in their name so they can start redistributing the wealth even before the election. Not only will you affect their opinion, they will tell every other server in that restaurant. If they don’t like this redistribution of their wealth, then tell ask them to reconsider their vote for Obama. Remember, you many want to avoid that restaurant for a while after this personal object lesson.

Diversity Lane – Special Halloween Edition

When did the words “hope” and “change” get to be scarier than “witch” and “goblin?” Never mind– I think we all know the answer to that.

Halloween is so unfair. Why can’t the government just sort of step in and “spread the Candy Corn around?” For further details see cartoon below.

Happy Haunting,

Video: World’s Thug Dictators Mock Obama

It’s common knowledge Obama is book smart but has about as much common sense when it comes to the ways of the world as a fifth grade glue eater.  It’s time to mock the man child who would be messiah.

Like I said before, if you idiots vote this turd into office, the world’s dictators and thug regimes, not to mention the United Nations, will look at him like a diaper wearing thumb sucker with cute little pigtails.  These thugs understand one thing.  Brute force.  Obama is a limp wristed sissy who thinks that terrorist and dictators can be reasoned with via talks and lawsuits using international courts.

The man child named Hussein is a joke.

NYU Department of Psychology – Political Attitudes and Voting Behavior – Survey

From the New York University Department of Psychology:

A research team from the Psychology Department at New York University, headed by Professor Yaacov Trope and supported by the National Science Foundation, is investigating the cognitive causes of voting behavior, political preferences, and candidate evaluations throughout the course of the 2008 U.S. Presidential election. This stage of the study focuses on the information people use to inform evaluations during the last few weeks before the election. They seek respondents of all political leanings from all over the country (and from the rest of the world) to complete a 15-minute questionnaire, the responses to which will be completely anonymous.

Know any Good Political Jokes? (Updated)

Sometimes, you just need a laugh. The tension of this unprecedented political season has been incredible. And the countdown to November 4th is making a lot of us grumpy. Here’s a thread to relieve some of that tension by sharing a good laugh.

Fine print: Let’s keep the humor G or PG-13, and please refrain from sharing sexually-explicit or racist jokes because I’ll have to delete them, and I truly hate deleting comments. Let’s just keep it clean and fun. Thank you.

I’ll start:

“Are you excited and tired of the campaign? Excited and tired? One week to go. One week from today is the election. … We have the elections next week, and then the winner of that election meets Hillary in the finals.” –David Letterman
