Today In Paranoia: "It's A Cook Book!"

Honest to fucking gawd, even during the height of HUAC & McCarthyism in the '40s & '50s there actually were Soviet intelligence agents operating in the U.S. of A., & no doubt a few comsymps & fellow travelers would have loved to infiltrate & subvert our glorious patriotic institutions. (The success they achieved is obvious in contemporary Stalinist America.) The threat of communism was secondary to supplying Yanks their dose of fear, but there was no question that the U. of S.S.R. was more than a few thousand goofballs in caves, training camps & cramped apartments & it was armed & organized well enough to trouble even the non-delusional.

But we are fucking astounded that today's fear-mongers get any mileage from this crap at all. Were there not enough jokes about the Prez being Muslim for Ms. Geller's taste at the various CPAC events? How could one tell that

the Conservative Political Action Conference she was speaking at had itself been "corrupted" and "compromised by Muslim Brotherhood activists."

Did the Paulbots* suddenly sport fezzes? We went over the agenda or whatever & saw no scheduled five-a-day prayer breaks.† (Indeed, not even for Judeo-Xian prayers. Maybe she is right. What about that, CPAC?)

Or was having GOProud involved an indication of rampaging Islamo-fascism? At this point we have no idea, & we can't quite believe that these furtive activists are going to have a stealth resolution calling for Sharia Law passed. Not at an ACLU confab, & not at CPAC.

Though it's not as if the Islamo-fascists & Christo-fascists are that far apart on many issues. Perhaps Ms. G. is cleverly trying to point this out to us. "You can't even tell you're being infiltrated, because you're just like them!"

*NB: Did not type "Paultards."

†Top reason Islam sucks. Even the Xers & Hebrews have it down to one time & one day per wk. (Approx., depending.) of organized sucking up. Chill out, Musselmen.
