We knew the moment it was true when they talked about Right Wing fundamentalist Christians.
As they started up their “Green Movement”, how could anyone with a real and complete grasp of the intelligence situation, not have known it was leading up to this?

They are a religion, complete with Devil and Messiah, and the faithful are now less inclined to let other, formerly friendly sects, impinge on their spiritual practices.

Their ability to deny reality is that strong. So long as they don't have to contend with a 24 hour/ 7 day a week news cycle that keeps reminding them, not to mention the conversation and buzz which inevitably gets produced from people "seeing" the "news". So long as they don't have that? Ridiculously easy for them to deny certain facts of reality. It will not exist to them. Just as the suffering of the Vietnamese due to their support of Democrat laws do not exist to them.

The consequences of a pissed-off CIA getting back at Obama will be interesting to see. Unfortunately, Obama AND the US will be hurt by such. We elected someone who just doesn't have a clue.

Three soldiers stand there, and they go "woo-woo-woo!" and pump their arms in the air. Quietly, but with at least some enthusiams. Sort of. Obama: "Where is everyone? I was told you all had permission to join me here and cheer my vast intellect and incredible grasp of the complexity of all domestic and foreign affairs. Cheer me on, and adore me, and all that." Soldier: "We do have permission, Sir. I guess everyone else is too busy organizing their foot lockers. There are lots of socks and underwear to fold. And re-fold. Sir."

Since the smart set always looks to Europe for its instructions on how and what to think, imagine the quandry it's going to be once the anti-Obama clamor from the Fwench and other EU members gets so loud that even the NYT has to cover it. Sometimes I just love popping open a can of beer, sitting back and waiting for that first chicken to round the corner, heading home to roost.
