Curious About Cult-ure

No. It's not.

JWBear: Interesting take, applying it to the GOP. I would actually say that on the topic of isolationism, there is some, though indirect. I would say there's some #9 as well... look at the fallout for Senator Craig as an example. "OMG, he's gay, he needs to step down!!! Aaaaaaahhh!" I'd call that exerting control.

However, we may be taking the interpretation of that point the wrong way in our comparisons. I think it's intended to imply that the "leader" (Bush?) be the beneficiary of manipulated behavior, or at least able to "bestow" those benefits to others in their favor (think David Koresh here, or that polygamist guy that just got put away for forcing young girls to marry)
