Rob Kall: Well, you
know, I have to say, I used to be a Democrat, and I'm not anymore. You have to -- the Supreme Court just rejected
a request to reject espionage, domestic spying in the US that Obama
administration has inflicted upon us, worse than Bush did. This is a bipartisan problem, not just
Republicans really, anymore.
Andrew Schmookler: Well
let me just say, none of our problems are just on the Republican side. But if you look at that decision today, it
was 5-4. And you know what the 5-4 must
have been, and you know that a Democratic appointed Justice would have been
with these four. So you're right: the
Democratic Party is partially contaminated with the spirit which basically
wholly owns the Republican Party of today.
So there's a real difference.
Rob Kall: What is
that spirit?
Andrew Schmookler: It
is a spirit which acts as if it is bent upon destruction. It makes a fight out of everything. It's not interested in cooperation, it's not
interested in compromise, fighting is the message, because it is a force of
brokenness. It is insatiable when it
comes to wealth and power. There is no
such thing as enough of wealth and power!
You can be the most powerful person in the world like George W. Bush
was, and then you usurp still more power.
You could be the richest person in the world, a billionaire, like the
Koch brothers, and still be willing to sacrifice the future of the planet for
your own short term profit, for money that you'll never even come close to
needing.
Rob Kall: Insanity.
Andrew Schmookler:
Huh?
Rob Kall: It's
insanity.
Andrew Schmookler:
Well, that's the brokenness! The
greedy person is a person for [whom] there's no such thing as enough, because
they are not feeding the real need. Alan
Watts once said, "You can't get enough of what you don't really need."
