BARBARA'S TCHATZKAHS

by Kathy Krajco Quite a few years ago, I saw a documentary on TV about batterers. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the name of the program or the expert being interviewed, but what he said I think is self evident to anyone who has ever tried to communicate with an abusive person. What was it? He pointed out that in arguments between the victim and the batterer (not beatings, just arguments ), the victim always argued circles around the batterer, beating him hands down. I mean she whupped him. They actually captured examples on film, from counseling offices and even from cameras placed in the home. This should be no surprise. Of course she whupped him to shame. Reason was 100% on her side. He either had to concede her points or be totally irrational and blow back a wall of gibberish and bullshit at her, like a character in a Monty Python skit.

Barack obama hasn’t even served a term yet. Abraham Lincoln still ranks Number One amongst greatest presidents in popularity polls. He presided over a civil war that freed the slaves. He is also well known for his Gettysburg Address. Barack Obama is known for his Typical White...

Food for thought... a LOT of thought. In light of this and this . Who are the Obamaniacs really supporting? These Dems who will vote for ANY DEMOCRAT THAT RUNS aren't thinking. They condemned the GOP for "fear mongering" last election; when now they are "Messiah Mongering" a man with a sketchy background who scares most thinking voters. Who is Obama, really? Does anyone truly know? Does he? If you are on an aggregator click here to see the above video Cult Formation By Robert Jay Lifton, M.D. Two main concerns should inform our moral and psychological perspective on cults: the dangers of ideological totalism, or what I would also call fundamentalism; and the need to protect civil liberties. There is now a worldwide epidemic of totalism and fundamentalism in forms that are political, religious or both. Fundamentalism is a particular danger in this age of nuclear weapons, because it often includes a theology of Armageddon--a final battle between good and evil....
