A 'Psychoanalysis' of the Suceptability of Being Nudged

Glenn Beck's show tonight (9/22/2010) covered "The Most Dangerous Man in the USA," Cass Sunstein. Professor Sunstein is President Obama's Regulatory Czar, a position well suited for an academic whose goal in life is to conduct "Rat" experiments on the people of the United States of America. Professor Sunstein considers the average American to be 'Homer Simpson,' too dumb to make decisions on their own therefore in need of him to nudge us in the direction that he determines is best for us. Beck reviewed a host of areas that you and I are being nudged towards from controlling our diets, to our health care choices, to what we drive, and how much and the kind of energy we use. The purpose of this analysis is to delve into who the targets of this nudging are, and whom might be most susceptible to the nudging.

We will start with those who are in no need of nudging. Those are the Progressive elitest, like Professor Sunstein, President Obama, and most other Democrats. This group also includes union bosses, communist, marxist, socialist, and some others who were born genetically disposed to living off the labor of other people. These folks don't have to be nudged, and actually feel some self-aggrandizement from nudging other people. Sometimes, this group of people are referred to as BULLIES (which of course they enjoy calling other people).

The next group of people are called Independents. Independents like to think of themselves as being open-minded. This quality is what makes Independents so susceptible to nudging. Independents when presented with what on the surface seems to be a rationale idea usually go with the flow. Sometimes the flow moves left (in the political spectrum), and sometimes it moves right. This quality of the Independent is taken advantage of by the nudger by inundating the Independent with so much fallacious information it causes their brain to hurt from trying to be fair and balanced that they just give up and accept the nudgers premise. Independents are largely the reason the USA is in such a sorry state.

The next group of people are sometimes called conservatives, although many Progressives and others on the left call them morons, douche bags, f***ing idiots, and other pejoratives (due to their limited vocabulary). Conservatives are very resistant to nudging. In fact, conservatives have an irritating quality of asking questions like: "Did you read the bill?" "Why can't I eat a burger and fries if I want to?" "Is this law even Constitutional?" "Why does the government think they can spend my money better than I can?" "If I grow vegetables in my garden and want to give them away, what business is it of the governments?" You know stuff like that. Most conservatives don't like to be run through a maze, and usually like to decide things for themselves. Conservatives are candidates for Progressive reprogramming camps, and harsher treatment if they are uncooperative.

The last group are those in the Tea Party. These people are also called by other names by Progressives. Often they are called TeaBaggers, racist, homophobes, anti-abortionist, and even Christians! Tea Party people are extremely resistant to nudging. In fact, they are so resistant to nudging they sometimes carry signs and pray that Progressives will see the light and stop bullying everybody else.
