Battling imaginary Satanic baby-killers in Utah and Ohio

This is a disingenuous diatribe against Satanic baby-killers that exist only as an urban legend.

And so is this.

Here, again, is self-proclaimed “authority on Satanists,” Judy Byington:

Secret ceremonies in which malevolent men and women cloaked in hooded robes, hiding behind painted faces and chanting demonic incantations while inflicting sadistic wounds on innocent children lying on makeshift altars, or tied to inverted crosses, sounds like the stuff of which B-grade horror movies are made. …  Some think amoral religious cults only populate the world of ‘Rosemary’s Baby,’ but don’t exist in real life. Or do they?

And here is Marisha Agana, Republican candidate for Congress in Ohio’s 13th District:

History has a way of repeating itself: Stalin , Hitler, Mao Tse Tung and now Obama!!!

I know life begins at conception and therefore those yet to be born are actually living human beings and should be taken care of not killed. Because of this and the position Mr. Barrack Hussain Obama [sic] has taken on abortion directly as well as the use of Obamacare to provide contraception and abortifacient drugs I feel it is proper and important to have included him on the list I tweeted about.

These are the same. These are exactly the same.

They express the same attitude. They are equally based in truth. And they fulfill the exact same emotional need.

Byington needs to believe that there is a global conspiracy of Satanists killing babies. So does Agana.

Byington needs to believe that she is a righteous hero courageously defying a global conspiracy of Satanists killing babies. So does Agana.

At some level, Byington is aware that her courage and heroism are a pose, a fantasy role-playing charade based on nothing real. And so is Agana.

Byington has lost touch with reality, investing her whole identity in a prideful fantasy based on illusory horrors. And so has Agana.

These are the same. These are exactly the same.
