McCain, in other ways, is just as evil as Palin. ALL his policies are aimed at keeping astronomically rich people astronomically rich people, plus he wants to be the Alzheimer’s God of War in his very own WW3. In short, he is a little, geezer, gnome who for all his life has kept his head up where the sun doesn't shine in the elites. And anyone who is a friend (or puppet) of the elites is (to say it religiously) an enemy of God, because this all goes back to the 6,000 year old Have and Have Not horror.
There are two things right now which most stand out about the elites:
(1.) The money cow oils wars in Iraq and Afghanistan whose SOLE purpose is to change billionaires into multi billionaires.
(2.) The obscene, economy-breaking, American infrastructure-destroying, and working class annihilating tax breaks for the elites.
The heart of this paper is, frankly, very difficult to put into words. Not because it's so profound and complex, but almost for just the opposite reason. There's a simplicity here which is so pure and down to Earth that it almost sounds too good to be true.
The subject is EVIL and how do we deal with it. At the risk of sounding wishful and abstract, it seems to this writer that we deal with it the way we have ALWAYS dealt with it --which is only secondarily the machinations of politics, however pragmatic they may be.
How ELSE can you deal with evil other than keeping the faith in that "other reality" of genuine love, compassion, and spiritual sanity? Politics yes, but politics will NEVER produce human goodness, and the absolute worst the Sarah Palin's and John McCain's can do to us is to poison our faith in the goodness and high sanity of human existence.
We've dealt with human filth many, many times over the millennia, and we were never "saved" from it by alleged heroes or saints. We always SAVED OURSELVES from it by keeping alive those spiritual, mystical fires which are the soul of human goodness.
