8 Responses to “Internet Deception That *Should* Get You Fired”

1. It’s amazing to me that there are still people who don’t understand that everything they do on the internet leaves a footprint. Aside from the question of ethics, that’s just plain stoopid.

2. People make stoopid decisions when they are fueled purely by emotion.

   Patrick, do you think libel charges are pending for Vivinetto?

3. And yet there will be people – respected members of the Liberal community – who will defend the little idiot.

   Increasingly the Liberal Left seems to have no principle other than “In any confrontation, we should win.”

4. She “resigned?” What does it take to get “fired?” For that is what should have happened. Resigning implies she was confronted with her transgressions and offered the opportunity to depart of her own volition. What she did merits being summarily fired, seems to me.

   It may be no big difference, but it sure seems that way to me.

5. What’s wrong with thse people?

   The emerging field of Mental Ophthalmology may offer some answers. Related maladies, Psychomyopia and Psychoglaucoma, render sufferers unable to reason beyond circumscribed limits, and often result in unhinged and delusional behavior.

   Psychomyopia is mental shortsightedness. It can affect both Republics and Democrats, but to illustrate, “Democrats cannot see beyond the next election. Issues such as the fate of our nation, the fate of the Iraqi people, and the success or failure of Islamic terrorism are vague blurry background features that they cannot discern. The only thing their brains can focus on is the nearby goal of getting into power and staying there.”

   An example:

   The neural pathways inside their heads run something like this:
   • The best thing for the United States would be for the Democratic party to come back into power.

   • A really embarrassing failure in Iraq would tip next year’s election toward the Democrats.

   • Therefore, a failure in Iraq would be good for the USA

   “The symptoms of psychomyopia are easily confused with those of psychoglaucoma, or tunnel vision—a preoccupation with one aspect of a situation, coupled with a willful refusal to consider certain other aspects. As in physical ophthalmology, the latter is much more serious…” The focus on GWB’s 16 words is a classic case.

6. great information Black Jack. It explains it on two levels: why perception is skewed and the physiological basis for it. It also explains what is so frustrating about anti-war types who pull a blanket over anything that happened before the war. Saddam. Resolution 1441. Previous safe harbor for terrorists. And of course 9/11. So much sympathy for protecting human rights of the jihad squad… but not a bit of concern for victims of anti-American terrorism. Damn the liberals, quite literally.

   And MSM reporting only the dark side of the war while skipping over progress and accomplishments. Closed minds… Goal: Democratic victory in ’08… Psychomyopia.

7. In a comment to my post she says she was indeed fired.

8. Unfortunately this is all too characteristic of the “speech totalitarians” of the far left. If you find yourself in disagreement with them, it is ample justification within the context of their world view to destroy you. It is an arrogant, self-righteousness of the worst kind; and very Orwellian.
