That would be funny if it weren't so sad and pathetic...

Actually, it's kind of scary.. Because someone who is willing to compromise their values (if they had any in the first place) can easily become an extremist, intolerant towards others...

Hitler was like that.. He found the Nazis, incorporated their values, and rose to lead them..

Jesse Jackson is like this.. hanging on to MLK coattails until he was able to rise to the point where he could shake down corporations for $$$...

History is full of sad and pathetic individuals who, by becoming fanatical ideologists and attracting hordes of followers (sheeple), are able to quash their feelings of inadequacy and insecurity.
