The Cult Of Congress

I was reading up about cults and while doing so something occurred to me, an epiphany if you will. Congress has become a cult onto themselves. Look to the evidence and you too will begin to see the pattern emerge. Over the last few years Congress has grown disproportionately distant from the constituents that they were elected to represent. They ignore our voice as if we are beneath their greatness. Congress is blindly following Obama and his agenda for change so devoutly that they ignore all tenants of common sense and logical reasoning. This behavior is indicative of a cult. Think about what a cult is and then compare that to Congress. Congress is isolated, much like a cult would be. Senators and Representatives are feeding off of each others beliefs while ignoring those from out side of their group, much like a cult would do. They follow a leader, in this case Obama, so completely that it borders upon worship. Congress has become a group of individuals who's ideology centers around the symbol of change so vehemently that they will attack any who question it with such viciousness and open contempt as to be equated to the actions of zealots. When you look at the definition of the word cult, how many of the definitions seemingly fit Congress these days?
