15. I think that is because it hasn't hit you yet how crucial it has already become for our nation,

when such a high percentage of the Right-Wing leadership (both in government and in
private industry) is made up of sociopaths.

Let me give you two examples of the depths of degradation to which the immorality of our
nation has sunken:

(1) Some ten years ago GW Bush started giving huge tax-breaks to the extremely wealthy of our nation at the expense of the middle-class and the poor. He also lied our nation into war against Iraq.... During his two terms, he doubled our national debt from 5+ to 10+ trillion dollars.

(2) The Right-Wingers have been fighting against and succeeded in preventing the
American people from having Universal Health Coverage for generations.

Do you see the gravity of these situations? It's not only immoral, it is also insanity to
make the extremely rich even richer. Why do the rich want to get even richer? One main reason: So that they can better dictate to and control the lives of the average Americans.
They have the money and the power that goes with money to carry out fraudulent elections and manipulate our voting system. And they corrupt everything they touch -- including our Judiciary System. Bush actually lost the election in 2000. We know the rest.

The Right-Wingers want more money so that they can have more power to use against
the American people. That's how the 1% can control the 99%.

Because of the tax-breaks for the rich, millions of middle-class have now become poor,
and the poor have become even poorer. In the minds of the psychopathic leadership,
the poor are used to serve as cannon fodder in Bush's wars. We know that not a single
son or daughter of the Right-Wing leadership served as an ordinary soldier in Iraq. Correct?

On the industrial front, 50,000 Americans needlessly die each year because they couldn't afford or were denied medical treatment for whatever reasons the health-insurance people
saw fit. This means that over the past 20 years, roughly 1 million Americans have died
needlessly. Over the past 40 years roughly 2 million..... The number of American
soldiers killed in Iraq numbered in the 4,000+. Have you ever thought what the sociopathic Right-Wingers are costing our nation in these terms? Only very recently is Obama's health-care reform beginning to make a few dents - here and there.

Today, the American people have become so used to the results of the Right-Wing's
SOCIOPATHIS VALUES, that most of us have lost our bearings. Many of us don't even know
where we stand -- much less where we are heading.

It might help if we tried to look at the big picture once in a while, and not only look
at the small details.

Over the past 3 years, Obama repeatedly gave in to the plainly immoral and evil demands of the Right-Wingers in order to salvage some little good for the American people. It seems as though one has to be almost apologetic in order to do what's right for our people. IMMORALITY has become so common that it has now almost become THE NORM. We are so used to seeing it that we are no longer aware of it as such. How could we have become deceived to such a devastating extent?

This is what is happening because our nation is being ruled by too many sick people
-- the sociopaths -- who have no business ruling!

It looks like we are at the point where Germany was in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
American Right-Wingers are doing now what Hitler was doing then: the propaganda,
lies.....etc.....all of it. Since the Right-Wingers already own the Supreme Court, if the Democrats should lose the presidency as well as both Houses of Congress in November,
it could spell the end of Democracy in America.

God forbid that THAT should ever happen. Let's make sure that it never will happen.
