'A fanatic is a person who, having lost sight of his goal, redoubles his effort to get there.'
Fanatics can be of any stipe from a Grover Norquist to a Al Sharpton.
Most personally sad is how poorly the Democratic movement in my country has defined our goal as a nation and how the right has emotionally programmed the right to see thier talking point as the goal with tunnel vision.
I wrote exhaustively about positive programing and my background as a unique hypnotist. No one ever engaged in those conversations. Folks seemed to just go wading in a pool of the same minutia, rehashing a detail to death.
Hope and Change engaged so many people because it sounded like a big goal with emotion. It is heartbreaking to see the emotion and goal ruined by a total surrender to the status quo of the deserving rich requiring more priviledge.
Thier is neither the rage or the hopefullness of the 60's. Instead we have a people who stand befor a great depression as in the 30s expcept this time we start with large personal debt on top of the decline.
The goal of this nation when stated simply would be uniformally cheered. The goal of the left if honestly stated, would cause people to hiss and boo, or worse.
Where are the Danial Websters, the Lincolns the average Joe the plumber with insight and compassion.
Is it true the population on whole are conditioned to sell out for virtually any sum of cash and ignore all thier scruples? Or have things like conscience and understanding faded from our lives. Is the only revered goal in life take the money and run?
Perhaps education and the greedly worship of self is what truely seperates the Founding Fathers from the religious right.
