1) CONNECTION
Charisma exists only in a connection between the individual who is perceived as charismatic and their audience.
2) PERSONAL VISION
Charismatic leaders despise detailed policy. There is an element of personal conviction, bordering on the magical, associated with the decision making process of a person with charisma – a magic the committee room destroys.
3) DISTANCE
An ability to connect with a large audience of supporters, often by reinforcing and then heightening their existing beliefs, combined with his inability to interact in a normal everyday way with individuals.
4) CERTAINTY
Always certain in his views.
5) ENEMIES
It is virtually impossible to overestimate the importance of enemies to a charismatic leader.
6) HOPE
‘here, it seemed to me, was hope’.
7) SUCCESS
Leaders can only retain their charismatic appeal in the long term if they preside over a series of successes.
Sound like a description of Obama? I thought so too.
The article was about Hitler.
The only thing charismatic about obama is his TOTUS. Without it, only #5 applies. Have you ever heard him TRY to speak without his TOTUS. The TOTUS has the charisma.
Old news.
Scrape up L. Ron Hubbard’s dekalogy Mission Earth.
Go read Socrates.
Old stuff.
But charismatic demagogues end badly, as do their countries.
Sigh.
In the book the Republic there a chapter of what is a good leader..
connection?
he sure is connecting only with those he feed
those bombers where receiving GOVERNMENT money, the amount went to a hundred thousands,
and he still getting money, CAVUTO will talk about it
his defender is a lawyer who had other criminal save from the death penalty,
she is the best defense lawyer for that terrorist murderer,
is in it the world upside down? in AMERICA,
it would be so easy to hang him, and so much cheaper,
the people are paying that DEFENSE LAWYER JUDITH CLARK,
OBAMA mention about closing the GITSMO prison ,
he made a reference to let them go, he said it in a way that as feeling sorry for them,
yes sir his plans are there as crystal.
emprisoned AMERICANS, FREE the TERRORIST send them back home to kill more AMERICANS
they just had some killed theses last 2 days, EIDS
we will pray for them,
NUMBER 8th, madness,
some perceive it easy,
but those who don’t perceive the character, have a feeling that he will protect them
and care for their problems, but they are the first one to be left out,
@ilovebeeswarzone: #5
For the record, the actual bombers never got welfare. Their parents did.
Smorgasbord
yes and 100 of thousand, and the boys got 6 thousands for student whatever,
and they have the arrogance to hate AMERICA, and enough to kill and injured the citizens,
they should get hang for that, there is no more to learn of his implication,
he is guilty as hell,
and to hell he should go,
do that for all the GISMO PRISONER and it will give the best MESSAGE from AMERICA,
obama is watching his public foreign profile that’s why he doesn’t do anything
but only protect the foreigners haters, from who? from AMERICANS of course,
well it would take some guts to do the extermination of enemies,
bye
Smorgasbord
they have 3 more who destroyed evidence willfuly knowing
the brothers bomb the rallies,
big charges for wanting to cover the guy.
bye
Smorgasbord
they even empty the firework stick before trashing it along with backpack,
among other thing
Smorgasbord
I read sometimes of COUNTRIES sending their CRIMINALS away forever to never returned,
THAT would be a good way to get rid of the terrorists after the come back of the MILITARY all of them
from AFGHANISTAN, in case they end up there,
just load them in a big boat and sail them away, no money just food,
they would kill themselves among each other and throw the corpse out,
and not many would survived,
it goes with the post
may I frighten you for a moment?
@ilovebeeswarzone: #8
If the Gitmo prisoners want to starve themselves to death, let them. I don’t understand why we are force-feeding them.
@ilovebeeswarzone: #9
I’m following the story.
@ilovebeeswarzone: #11
Wouldn’t that make us like the terrorists?
Smorgasbord
us TERRORIST for those terrorist,
it would make it fair game,
we will have to do the job eventuality
bye
Smorgasbord
who care about what other think, they don’t care what we think they come and kill our people
out of hate,
what if we use their recipe, and blow them up where they are
here or there, fine with me
OBAMA is block because he care of what they think of HIM, and look at the result,
he think he can change them in liking us, it’s impossible to get the hate out of them it’s to deep in their core
and still nurture by the IMANS,
they succeeded to plant our hate for them, which was not evident before the first 9/11,
now we cannot turn back the clock, we hate them too, no matter what they try ,
we are even in thought but not in actions yet, but it will come to that,
bye
@ilovebeeswarzone: !5
I don’t think us turning into terrorists is the answer. That would mean they win.
@ilovebeeswarzone: #16
As I have mentioned different times, I think the Muslim religion should be declared a terrorist organization. It teaches that all non-Muslims (infidels)must be killed. I don’t have a problem going after the ones who do terrorists acts, but not in a terrorist way.
Smorgasbord
I know you would not give back the same blow,
BUT TOLERANCE SHOULD HAVE HER LIMIT,
Karen Lugo makes some fine points about how even less-than-charismatic imams can radicalize American Muslims here in local Mosques.
First point: Isolation:
Europeans have seen the problems with trying to assimilate these isolated Muslims into their more open societies:
In Germany, law enforcement authorities now see the Islamic courts as a competitive “shadow justice system,” and complain that sharia-styled tribunals interfere with the government’s duty to administer both civil and criminal justice.
In Britain, a bill, the Arbitration and Mediation Services Equality Bill, called the presumed acquiescence of Muslim women to unequal and often cruel Sharia treatment as “consensual as rape.”
In Europe and the USA/Canada the ONLY difference between Sharia back home and Sharia in the West is the generous welfare arrangements.
Second point: Taqiyya and Kitman (imams lie and deceive)
That’s Kitman, simply not answering the question, while SEEMING to.
Third point: The Boston Mosques’ radical pasts:
The mosque’s founders were in the Muslim Brotherhood and one, Abdurahman Alamoudi, pled guilty in 2004 for conducting illegal transactions with the Libyan government and his partial role in a conspiracy to assassinate Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah.
Imam Abdullah Faarooq gave a sermon praising Aafia Siddiqui, an MIT graduate who had returned to her native Pakistan in 2003 and was later exposed as courier and financier for Al Qaeda. She was eventually arrested in Afghanistan with containers of sodium cyanide and notes on making a bomb. In his sermon, Faarooq proclaimed Siddiqui’s innocence and told worshippers, “You must grab on to this rope, grab on to the typewriter, grab on to the shovel, grab on to the gun and the sword, don’t be afraid to step out into this world and do your job.”
Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, an original trustee of the Islamic Society of Boston and known as the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. In the past, he has told followers in sermons that Jews and homosexuals should be “exterminated.”
Tariq Mehanna and Ahmed Abousamra were mosque members who, in 2009, were indicted by federal prosecutors for providing material support to terrorists and conspiracy to kill in a foreign country.
Sheikh Yasir Qadhi gave a sermon, in which he called Christians “spiritually filthy” and said that Muslims could not be citizens of a county where man makes law because they must follow God’s law.
Although many local Mosques have refused to officiate at a funeral for Tsarnaev, Islamic Society of Boston officials said handling Tsarnaev’s funeral would not go against their teachings.
Quite a pedigree, huh?
Yet Mass. gave the Islamic Society of Boston Mosque builders a 50% off land grant to build on.
Can individual Muslims ”reform” Islam?
Maybe someday……if the whips are taken down from their homes which serve to keep Boston Muslim wives in line.
When NY admitted it sent undercover agents in to Mosques to make sure they were NOT radicalizing men, Obama and other Liberals went nuts.
So, keeping an official eye on these imams is out of the question.
MOS 8541
hi,
I would like to see that list of what make a good leader,
is there a link somewhere for it?
bye
@ilovebeeswarzone: #19
In this case I’m not talking about tolerance. I want to go after the terrorists BEFORE they attack. That’s what George Bush wanted to do. Let the ones in Gitmo starve themselves to death. A dead terrorist can’t attack us, and won’t need a lawyer.
@Nan G: #20
Maybe the countries who are allowing Muslims to come in (including the USA) should read their Koran. It is their instruction book for what their plans are: Convert of kill.
Smorgasbord
yes but he won’t let them die even that they are killers,
he want to send them somewhere else,
Smorgasbord
they are going after the CHRISTIANS MILITARY now,
can you believe they are restraining the military to talk about JESUS
and GOD at war zone, this is the lowest I heard yet,
is it the WHITE HOUSE behind it?
I would not be surprise,
what are they doing to the MILITARY, why is that depressing for them,
of course it is, the PENTAGONE should back out of that order, this is not acceptable, for the soldiers
in HARMS WAY to not talk about GOD AND JESUS AND THE HOLLY SPIRIT,
if some other are offended so be it , they offend other too,
a never seen before again,
who ever gave the order is NON_ AMERICAN DEMOTE HIM AT ONCE,he is a danger for the TROUPS
@ilovebeeswarzone: #25
As I have mentioned many times, have you and others figured out who’s side obama is on? I did a long time ago, and it ain’t ours.
Smorgasbord
I think he is a MUSLIM, and whoever question it is a blind or pretend to be blind
and that make him dishonest. dishonest,
I think he hate AMERICANS, and he want to exterminate them by abortion clinic he pay thousands of dollar to have them sell the abortion to the young AMERICANS,
and replace the MAJORITY OF AMERICANS BY WHAT HE CALLED THE NEW MAJORITY
OF FOREIGNERS MUSLIM are in his book, they have been coming more since he took power,
they are nominated in the GOVERNMENT and are part of his consultant,ASSAN is still protected
and paid his earning, the GISMO are still alive and waiting to fly, BENGHASI is still hush hush.
how can we not add up and decide what is going on is very strange, and no DEMOCRATS have the guts to talk including HILARY who want to get the next PRESIDENCY,
they play the people for fool, they have been doing that from the first day with their MEDIAS
some have been trapped but the CONSERVATIVES have figure him from the beginning,
and there was no racist there, but he played that card
to silence the one he was scared of being uncovered,
and he was uncovered, it turn out all true till now,
you had him figured out early ,I remember
@ilovebeeswarzone: #27
I had most of what you said figured out before he ran for president the first time.
Smorgasbord
yes I remember, that was my first few times here at FLOPPING ACES
and I was reading more than commenting,
even that I tried on a bad ENGLISH, which gave me some remarks and questions
from some who could not understand my comments,
MATA took my side many times, and AYE CHIHUAHA also save me a few encounters
with the third kind,
I fell in love with the way it was set up, and stayed only here,
you where there too,
WHAT I remember most was my first comment on the soldier said he was not well in the head and that psychiatrist was saying thing he could not understand and insisting for them to learn,
it got me jumping and I told him to report him to the top leader, you know ASSANsoon after went on a killing spree and we all discover the PSYCHATRIST was him the killer, I made 2 and 2 then,
when a nurse said he was trying to indoctrinate the patients,
it broke my heart to think of what had happen to also the veterans stock with that creep,
under his power total,
@ilovebeeswarzone: #29
We all need to learn to think for ourselves.
Smorgasbord
yes we must, I use that too,
