7. I Think It's The Power Of Magical Thinking!
Upon reflection, what else defines the godhead of Bush, etc? Magical thinking. It is logical, if one can use that phrase in this context, to be enamoured of Harry Potter if one thinks magically all the time.

Other Fundies, more into the hell-fire and damnation aspects of their cult, devil-worship, and the like, will be repulsed by a story which uses the words "magic", "witch" and "wizard", even though the Harry Potter definitions have absolutely nothing to do with their definitions of these terms. But to know that, they would actually have to read the damn books, and we can't let an actual fact or a life experience enter into the equation, now, can we? Wouldn't be right, wouldn't be godly. Bush doesn't read, and neither do his hard-core supporters. That's what they like about him. That's how they identify with him.

So sad for the nation, to have such tiny little dried up minds in it.
