35. You are WAY off track
No ONE wants unfair elections. No ONE wants their neighbor to die. No ONE can tolerate cruelty when they witness it. It's the mass idea that "THEY" are evil and "THEY" will harm us and "THEY" aren't like "US" that kills us, and that includes the left demonizing the right.

Oh, yes, I'm afraid there ARE people who DO want unfair elections; don't care or would help make their neighbors die; can inflict as well as observe cruelty; etc.

Yes, indeed. Some of them (perhaps all, who knows?) are psychopaths and sociopaths. Some of them are just warped -- their values are turned upside down, like the con men and women whose highest value is getting over on the unsuspecting and gullible.

Then there are those, and I believe some Christian Reconstructionsists and DEFINITELY NeoCons are among them, who believe that the end justifies the means, and their imagined "ends" are so lofty and noble in their own warped minds that anything is possible and nothing is outside the pale.

It's the mass idea that "THEY" are evil and "THEY" will harm us and "THEY" aren't like "US" that kills us, and that includes the left demonizing the right.

And what if those are actual observations of fact on our part rather than some delusional mass idea? What if the enemy, our enemy on the right, really IS evil and really will harm us? What then? Are you proposing twe not dare mention it? That's denial.
