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.
Hi Margaret
I know what you mean. The disparity between our realities today and what gets media attention is truly disturbing to me. I am also consistently amazed with the level of denial that this disparity perpetuates. Is it fear? Definitely. It also seems as if there is a society-wide inability to stay conscious to events that put people into shock. My guess is that it points to an overall feeling of powerlessness in these situations.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail behind.
