Lining up to dive over a cliff [View all]
I've been watching the clown show from the perspective of someone who sees the fundamentalists fundamentally selling their souls in service to the lust for power of a Newt called Gingrich. After our national adventure in murder, mayhem, torture, and greed thanks to the last "christian" administration, I didn't believe it was possible for these folks to compromise their values any further. But now, because of the righteous, insane hypocrisy of a Newt called Gingrich, the macro has shifted to the micro, so that accountability for harm done to loved ones is something to be shunned if it gets in the way.
In a life of over 60 years, what I've seen time after time with no exception is that operating from destructive impulses ultimately brings about self-destruction. You can't abandon your values and expect a good outcome. "What profits it a man to sell his soul and gain the world?" These hateful, power-hungry fools are falling in line to be led off a spiritual cliff. What are they going to hide behind once they've destroyed all of their values? It's like burning the village to save it. Idiots.
I hope this makes sense.
