“Segments of populations under chronic
siege commonly embrace the indictments of the besiegers, however bigoted and
outrageous. They hope that by doing so and reforming accordingly they can
assuage the hostility of their tormenters and win relief.” – Dr. Kenneth Levin,
The Oslo Syndrome
What happens when people become intimidated and frightened by terrorism? Might
some of them side with the terrorists? These were two questions posed by David
Kupelian, author of How Evil Works:
Understanding and Overcoming the Destructive Forces That Are Transforming
America.
In August of 1973, a bank robbery in Sweden opened the door to a phenomenon
that is faced by many in the law enforcement community. During a hostage
situation that lasted for more than five days, the captives, consisting of
three women and one man, were bound, gagged and terrorized. Yet, strangely,
while they were going through this hell, the hostages developed a strong bond
and an emotional attachment with their attackers. This phenomenon of captives
bonding emotionally with their captors is called the “Stockholm Syndrome.”
According to Kupelian, clinical characteristics of “Stockholm Syndrome” include
the following:
o captives start to identify with
their captors
o captives
realize that rescue attempts are dangerous and could result in their being hurt
or killed
o long-term
captivity fosters an emotional attachment to the captor as the victim learns of
the captor’s problems
Under what circumstances would Jews support
the Nazi party? How about Israel supporting Hamas? Before you scoff, according
to Kupelian, Israel is exhibiting signs of "Stockholm Syndrome" in its
appeasement with radical terrorism in the name of peace.
Are
you following me?
In the 1960s, almost a century after emancipation, Americans of African
descent, over the span of two election cycles, inexplicably gave their
allegiance in the form of suffrage... to the Democrat party, the very party
that exclusively persecuted them for 70 years prior (Ku Klux Klan, separate but
equal, Jim Crow laws, nightriders, lynchings, beatings, poll tax, voter
intimidation, dogs, riots, burnings, church bombings, and fire hoses… democrats).
Mind-boggling.
For years I’ve been trying to understand why Americans of African descent
abandoned their rich history in the Republican party -- a party that was formed
in their defense, that they embraced once emancipated, that helped elect
America’s first black Congressmen and Senators, that championed almost every
piece of civil rights legislation in this country -- in exchange for the party
that persecuted, terrorized, killed and tortured their parents, grand parents
and ancestors for generations, and is a millstone around their necks today.
I think I am starting to understand.
Americans
of African descent are suffering from “Democrat Stockholm Syndrome.” After a century of
being beaten, battered and terrorized by Democrats, Dixiecrats, and the like, southern
Americans of African descent were tired and worn down. Today, evidence of “Democrat Stockholm
Syndrome” is obvious as black Americans have ultimately come to identify with
and believe in their tormentors’ cause… the disenfranchisement of the black
race -- illustrated by
the alarming rate at which we kill our own unborn babies through legalized
abortion (the first black President of the United States even supports Planned
Parenthood, a terrorist arm of the Democrat party), to the degree of
satisfaction with American of African descent children being warehoused in
dilapidated underperforming and often violent public schools run by Democrats...
My, how things haven’t changed!
Over the decades, Democrats have gone
from being pro-slavery, pro-segregation and pro-eugenics, to being pro-choice
for abortion, anti-choice for education and anti-business... different day,
same party.
Americans of African descent were once
a proud people with self-esteem, moral conviction and an abiding faith in God –
even while in physical bondage. Today, Americans of African descent are doing a
better job of destroying and denigrating their own, than old school, racist, KKK
Democrats did to the black Republicans of their day.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid can
refer to Barack Obama as a “light-skinned” African American “with no Negro
dialect, unless he wanted to have one,” in the shadow of Robert Byrd and still
have the President, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the whole congressional
black caucus forgive and support him in his bid to get re-elected. I'm all about forgiveness, but let us
remember that a few years back Trent Lot lost his position as Majority Leader
and was almost destroyed for uttering a birthday wish to an old segregationist
who made the fatal mistake of repenting of his racism and switching his
allegiance to the Republican party.
Same Democrat party. Same destructive
mindset. Same paralyzing practices.
The only difference is that now
Americans of African descent actually identify with, believe in, and support
their tormentors’ cause. They even use the same racially hate-filled epithets
that former slave owners used when excoriating their newly freed black
Republican nemeses (You should read my hate mail!).
Blacks today are bonded to Democrats and
their dependence on liberalism has marginalized the race.
There are, however, still black
Republican voices crying out in the wilderness in defense of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. What has changed is the color of their opposition.
To be black and a Democrat should make
just about as much sense as being a Jew and a Nazi.
Which doesn’t make sense.
Blacks’ dependence on
Democrats and big government is the new slavery. It’s
an abomination.
And
this, my friends, is why Americans of African descent vote for Democrats... “Democrat
Stockholm Syndrome.”
TH,
Struck a cord did I? Stick around...

it's not hard to put stockholm syndrome to high masses of victims, especially politic victims
It's really rare brain disease and it's really difficult to reconize victims of stockholm syndrome. Many psyhiatrists sad that stockholm syndrome is most difficult to children who suffered from parent terrot in family.
