The needle in the haystack…
Sometimes things become less obvious when they are grouped with other similar things. It makes only the differences stand out and what are normally obvious traits become subtly hidden to the mind. Quite simply it’s key to fooling us humans, make important information redundant thus boring and no one will see it. You can put anything in the background this way.
Well that got me thinking….
There sure seems to be quite a few homosexuals running the core of the Republican Party. I wonder is there something that I am not supposed to see that’s right in front of my nose?
I normally care very little about what people get off on, but in this case the hypocrisy is just blatantly obvious.
How does this harem of closet case homosexuals run their party on an anti-homosexual platform and still come off as the morality police? I guess it’s ok to be hypocritical about your self.
It just does not make much sense that is until you look at it from their point of view. Which is they either have nothing to hide or logically they have figured out to promote their position at 180 degrees from reality, it has everything to do with public perception.
There it is the defining characteristic of Bush Co. World, “Public Perception”. Perception is reality in the sense that we can only perceive the truth as we know it exist, if we are deceived or information is left out we are only going to perceive what we know.
How do you really know anything in Bush Co. World?
You don’t because Bush Co. has nicely tied their public perceptions to the idea that they are faithful and honest to the people that voted for them. They have even done so with their gay perception problem.
I don’t know what they call it but it’s another method of hiding something in plain sight. The best way to describe it is making the perception of reality look as though it is 180 degrees from reality, thus hiding the truth in a place where people won’t normally think to look. We have numerous examples of them doing this, the WMD we never found, tax cuts for the rich that help all Americans, Clear Skies Initiative that pollutes more, and Health Forests that is about cutting down more trees. Then there is this republican anti-homosexual perception and we come to find out there are a lot of prominent gay republicans; again 180 degrees from what I expected.
It’s mind boggling and scary but it’s done for a very effective purpose. By defining a version of reality 180 degrees from where it should be, those people that believe you think that those that don’t just have a different opinion 180 degrees from your own. This gets extrapolated by the flavor of bias you consume the information through. Both your own bias and the bias of your source effect your perception of the information.
Our individual tendency is not to believe things that appear furthest from what we perceive to be the truth. It is particularly due to our own bias, which is invariably the real media filter. If I only consumed information presented by the big media as my only source of information I would never even know some of the things that get filtered out of my own perception. Bellow I have compiled two separate lists one I will call the projected perception and one I will call the filtered perception.
Making George Bush look like a man (projected perception)
- Brand new ranch
- New big ass truck
- Never broken in leather work gloves
- Speak with a pseudo southern tone
- Eat a lot of BBQ, tell people you like it.
- Move large pile of wood from here to there and back
The problem is I have an alternate list, which has gone mysteriously missing from the big corporate welfare media.
Things that make George Bush not so manly (filtered perception)
- Waves with finger tips
- Male cheerleader Andover
- Over use of the word fabulous
- Gay male prostitute, working undercover as a reporter with a false name gets daily press passes, he was in the White House before going to journalism seminar about having a career in journalism put on by other republicans. This makes him a hooker in the Whitehouse before a journalist in the Whitehouse.
- The very bizarre rubbing of bald heads fetish (man whore has a bald head too)
- Telling another man he has a pretty face twice in a redundant compliment. Just so we are clear on this one. I am of a straight sexual disposition myself and I would not personally refer to another male as pretty let alone to his face, and specifically I would not point out his face was pretty.
Back to the morality police…
The Republican Party has done a great job positioning to get exactly what they want where the truth is hard to believe, and every group has a bias to cloud their view; which has made every view possibly valid and every view possibly wrong.
