Karl Rove never met a man or a constituent group he didn’t seek to exploit for political gain…and as best I can tell, his scorched earth approach rarely, if ever, left him wondering about the welfare of the many innocent individuals that may have been consumed in the carnage he created with calloused and cunning calculations.
Mr. Wehner makes the mistake of many who live with the promise of privilege…those who have neither built the trough at which they feed nor done the hard work to harvest the feast that fills it…they stand shoulder to shoulder with other gluttonous and greedy purveyors of pain…sopping up the spoils while pushing the powerless under the proverbial bus. Pardon my disgust, but fine men aren’t made by driving on and over others.
While Karl Rove and his cronies see themselves as king makers, they climbed the pole of power on the backs of those they sought to sacrifice. His legacy of unleashing hatred upon homosexuals in order to herd the holier than thou hoards into the ballot box may be his hallmark…but calling him an honorable human being is simply another symbol of the corrupted Christian cacophony he sought to coerce.
Thanks for joining
Thanks for joining. There is something to be said for focusing on bringing up the economic situation of Palestine as a path to peace. As I think I wrote in one of the diaries I linked to, when I was in Israel during the peace process everyone, Arab and Israeli, wanted peace. Why? "Because it's good for business." I think therein lies the secret to peace: economic security for both sides.
I do not envision a one-state solution working. I used to. But not anymore. And now more than ever as I read a book on the collapse of Yugoslavia I can't imagine a one-state solution working. Two states, where BOTH have security of life and livelihood, is the only way I see working.
Anyway, once again, welcome!
