The Krooborg still appears to be mentally ill. Oh well.

There was something new to me in another group.

Meanwhile:

And sadomasochism--I know this sounds a little strange--is what defines
the essential character, you know, that--this is what--at least what I've
discovered--of the Republican follower of today. They're sadistic in that
they want to lash out at deviants, at people who are weaker than them,
homosexuals, immigrants, foreigners, socialists. At the same time,
they're masochistic. They are followers of a higher cause, of a strong
leader, a magic helper like Dobson or George W. Bush or the macho Jesus
archetype that they worship. And this is what defines this movement.

So many of the people that Dobson has been able to get close to and work
with in the Republican Congress and in American culture have been
viciously abused as children. And he understood that by advocating
violence against children, deliberate violence, he was creating this
sensibility, which would produce a radical generation of political
followers.

I assume you're quoting Neiwert or Blumenthal.

I can't figure out what's being said. Since when does Dobson, loony
Bible-thumper though he is, "advocate violence against children"? According to
Wiki, Dobson received "'The Children's Friend' honor by Childhelp USA (an
advocate agency against child abuse) in 1987, and the Humanitarian Award by
the California Psychological Association in 1988."

Maybe you can decode Neiwert's or Blumenthal's thoughts.

It's Blumenthal, transcribed from a Democracy Now! interview. I quoted
selectively to emphasize the S&M bit. The child abuse claim is from his
best-selling book Dare to Discipline in which he advocates spanking.

Blumenthal again: Where did Dobson's fortune come from? How did he erect
this empire? It came mainly from one book, which I quote from
extensively in my book, Republican Gomorrah--Dare to Discipline, which is
essentially a manual for corporal punishment, for beating your child. In
this book, he says pain is a marvelous purifier that a child should
be--that pain goes a long way with a child, that pain should be dispensed
sufficiently enough to make a child cry, but then the child will crumple
to your breast, and you should welcome the child with warm, open arms.
This is a recipe for sadomasochism.

Obviously parents differ on this, but "most child-care experts today
disapprove of physical punishment." says the NYT, quoted in the wiki
article on Dobson.

Aren't we in canard territory here? I thought the "disciplinary" aspect of
child-beating was long discredited as window-dressing for sadism.

Or the pot calling the kettle calling the pot black in this case.

What college did you go to, Bratzi?

If you want a book to justify it, Dobson has one to sell you. If you
write him for advice, he has a staff to reply to you and put you on his
mailing lists.

Poor Stephen,
* His hope is that someone will one day notice, he's been
gone Galt his whole life.


And now Stephen's hope is unfullfilled: 2pid couldn't stay Galt. He
(like Bratzi) feels some pathological need to 'enlighten' us. LoL.
