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.
Binary thought?
I like that term, being a "bit" of a computer geek. I don't recall it being used that way before.
Someone pointed out to me not long ago that our Western Objective reasoning habits go all the way back to Greece, this issue of forcing yes / no answers, for example our guilty / not-guilty legal system.
As apposed to the more Eastern philosophical reasoning leaning in the more open ended continuous question.
Ally McBeal swam in that universe with endless shades of gray, instead of make believe black and white limitations.
I suppose reconciling the "poles" might be a useful skill.
