Well said.
Someone explained to me once how the big corporate money mongers grabbed much of the GOP leadership in order to control any opposition to establishing global profit opportunities at any expense including American sovereignty and our Constitution. Since moral/social issues are of no concern to rabid profiteers, their choice for willing dupes to help give them political viability was those who deviated from traditional conservative ideals such as, those who wanted the right to kill their babies or tolerate human deviancy, and all assorted socialist beggars and bandits.
I'm beginning to think that guy was correct.
So do I. What he said conforms with what I have seen happen in the GOP and Democratic Party. I have a little analogy that I think illustrates to some extent what we are experiencing in this political cat fight.
It is well known in scuba diving that a diver can become easily disoriented with their surroundings under certain conditions. A friend of mine once related a story while diving on a shipwreck in the ocean. When he spotted the wreck it was clear the sunken ship was lying over on her side on a 60-degree angle relative to the bottom. The funny thing was, as the driver approached the shipwreck and hovered over the tilted platform of the ship for a few minutes the diver sensed that it was the bottom of the ocean that was tilted while the platform of the ship appeared to be perfectly upright! This is what happens when one loses perspective of their surroundings. And I can see this phenomenon having parallels today in how some people perceive the ideology and policies of their political parties. This is especially true when ideology and principle continually take a back seat to winning elections "at all costs". There might be some symbolism in this story with the shipwreck too.
