Remember when you where a child and your mother tell you upon informing her that “That everyone else was doing it, why can’t I?” … what did she (or your father) say? Well, I’m waiting … she’d say “If everybody jumped off a bridge, would you too?” Remember that? Thought so! Well with cultural para-stimuli you’d jump off the bridge, willing. So what is “cultural para-stimuli”?
I quote and you can read about it in Tom Wolfe’s novel I Am Charlotte Simmons. 
“It’s sort of like peer pressure on steroids. It was discovered by Nobel Laureate Victor Ransome Starling, who found that when he surrounded normal cats with cats whose behavior had been bizarrely altered by brain surgery, the normal cats began acting like the crazy cats all around them.”
This certainly explains San Francisco, Seattle, Hollywood and most point west, some brain altered crazy cat was dropped in and now has polluted the sensibilities of the masses. Cultural para-stimuli is political correctness run amok, it’s self loathing brought on by the loathing of others, it’s doing what’s popular in the face of what’s smart, it’s a Orwellian 1984, it’s Bush Derangement Syndrome, it’s Code Pink and then some.
The best way to explain the rise of cultural para-stimuli is to use smoking. Think back, if your old enough and recall the “Thank you for Not Smoking” signs or the “Please don’t Smoke” this has evolved into “NO! SMOKING!” , “SMOKING KILLS” or “SMOKING IS ILLEGAL ON THESE PREMISES!” You could walking into a room with two heads and eight eyes and get less strange looks than if you were to light up a smoke. Why the strange looks, cultural para-stimuli! It’s now cool to criticize smokers and you’re not in the in-crowd if you join in the reindeer games to make the lowly smoker feel less than human and give your non-smoking self a sense of superiority at the same time, to fit in with all the non smokers. It is many of the lowly smokers that have fought off cultural para-stimuli. (I know smoking is bad for you, lets try to focus please.)
This disorder, this dysfunction, this mental illness has spilled over into the political realm as a increasingly large number of conservative that will listen to the unfounded, uninformed criticism from the loony left and start to believe it, because they either actually believe it or they want to appear moderate to the left. Some one has dropped a crazy cat into their rants and now they are becoming crazy too. The loony left and the mainstream media which is one in the same have trumpeted so much, so loudly the ills of the conservative movement that many in the conservative leadership have fallen victim to cultural para stimuli of these crazy cats, peer pressure, political correctness the desire to just get along. Don’t make waves is their mantra. Well you’ll never make a omelet without breaking a few eggs and the way Washington D.C. is becoming we need to break more than a eggs.
I’m sick of these do-nothing spineless worms in the republican party that loath their own party as much as the left, you hear me John McCain? These so called conservatives that would rather play patty cakes with Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dumb more so than oppose them, because it’s become politically popular to just go with the flow “for the good of the country”. Well that’s not good for the country, it’s bad and going with the flow will not separate you from the pack and if that flow leads you over the edge of a cliff, you might want to paddle the other direction, just a thought.
Cultural para-stimuli has taken independent thought of what is inherently the right thing to do based on your own gut reaction and thrown it out the window. No longer do the masses think independantly of one another they now think dependently of the collective, they have become the Borg and we all know that the Borg want but one thing and that is to assimilate you into their ranks of mindless drones. Resistants is not futile, it is required, it is expected! You will fight the Borg.
