The Epidemic
Albert Einstein stated: “But could not our situation be compared to one of a menacing epidemic? People are unable to view this situation in its true light, for their eyes are blinded by passion. General fear and anxiety create hatred and aggressiveness. The adaptation to warlike aims and activities has corrupted the mentality of man; as a result, intelligent, objective and humane thinking has hardly any effect and is even suspected and persecuted as unpatriotic.”
Those that have had their eyes blinded by passion are exibiting hate and aggressiveness. It’s seen both in our nation’s foreign policy and in the harassment of antiwar activist in Delhi and Margaretville.
Intelligent, objective and humane antiwar activist are verbally abused on a regular basis by those, whose with a corrupted mentality. They’re the superpatriots and by definition they’re always ready to follow our national leader without questions, especially when it involves the use of military force. By making members of our military the issue, attention and blame is shifted away from what is being perpetuated by the current leadership. Superpatriots claim a monopoly on patriotism and seek to defame dissenters for not loving their country.
Their strategy is designed to take the focus off the financial and human cost of the war, but also their candidates voting record. They seek to discourage free speech and peacefully assemble, by insulting and intimidating peaceful antiwar protesters. During the Vietnam War, their battle cry was: “America love it or leave it.” For the Iraq War it’s: “Support the troops.” The covert message is support Bush’s war.
The substance of their message is political activists are unpatriotic political hacks, because true Americans don’t disagree. By speaking truth to power and daring to descent, you will demonstrate that your mentality has not been corrupted by Bush’s warlike aims.
