There is a very interesting and revealing story in the Washington Post about why the wealthy appear to be more likely to support President Bush’s adventure in colonialism than the less affluent. It appears, though no scientific studies have been made, that the wealthy have less to lose as their children are not likely to actually be in the military.This gets back to my whole rant about the Rebulican Party of our times (since the mid-1960s anyway); that they are a huge collection of hypocrites. Hypocrisy really pisses me off. It is hypocrisy for Pat Robertson to claim he’s a Christian and yet call for the assasination of Venezeula’s President Chavez. It is hypocrisy for Bob Marshall to claim he is supporting families by attacking homosexuals. It is hypocrisy for Jerry Kilgore to claim a good record as attorney general of Virginia when his office is being investigated for criminal activity and he has hired criminals to run his campaign. It is hypocrisy for President Bush to claim that we should stay in Iraq to “honor the fallen” when they would not have fallen at all if he had not sent our troops there to make his supporters wealthier. The hypocrites need to be expelled from our great nation and in some cases tried for their crimes against humanity.
