| 71. Rumsfeld is despicable and his presence makes many people angry. |
|
But, astonishingly, there are people who like and support him, because they consider him on their side. Sides, division. Are Rummy and the Bushco team now divisive hot-button issues? By design ugly targets?
It is the big corporations and their money that put these dangerous sociopathic clowns up in positions of power for people to love or hate when they do what is expected of them or what they are ordered to do. Maybe just like lightning rods these public scoundrels are there to take the heat while the real profiteers and crooks sit in the banks defended by soldiers counting their spoils -and get a free pass?
The system selects for divisive sell-out dupes. It is not just broken by injustice, it is intent on aiming people at each other with personalized weapons of violence and hatred and intolerance.
