Hate and Evil
A local businessman placed a full page political ad in our County Shopper, which in part insists, that Bush supporters must never let their opinion be swayed by Jim O’Leary. Furthermore, he claimed that I hate Bush and view all Republicans as evil fat cats ready to pillage this nation.
Some may hate Bush, but we should pity him, because he’s delusional. Hate is like a powerful acid, which does more harm to the container, than that upon which it is spewed.
Neither should we consider all Republicans evil, because judgments regarding, who is evil are best left up to God. Nevertheless, we should vigorously express our disapprove of corporate fat cats, who with the support of our military industrial complex have pillaged this nation for much of the last century.
Legendary Marine Corps officer Major General Smedley Butler was awarded the Medal of Honor twice for separate acts of outstanding heroism. In a 1933 speech, Butler asserted: “Only a small inside group knows what war is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses... I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights.”
On 9/11, our homes were not attacked. Only, symbols of corporate greed and the military industrial complex were attacked. In 1961, President Eisenhower warned: “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”
Newly elected Virginia Senator Jim Webb is a highly decorated Marine Corps veteran, who served as Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of the Navy. Webb left the Republican party, because of his concern for the working people of this country. During his campaign, Webb expressed concern about the incredible transfer of great wealth to an elite few. Presently, we are at historically high levels of corporate profits as a percentage of our national wealth, but at the same time wages and salaries are at an all-time low. Webb believes that equality is the cornerstone of our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
