(82,849 posts)Blood still stains the floor at Emanuel AME, and they're out in force, "winning" the argument while the nation reels from yet another gun-fueled violent tragedy. The dead, the wounded, the grieving are nothing to them. The casualties and the survivors are not people, they're not even real. It's just positioning for the next killing, the next shooting spree, the next massacre. They are so convinced that violence will drive out violence. The next execution will settle everything. We will kill all our enemies and then we'll have peace. The violence machine has been cranked up in overdrive for 13 years, and we're told that we're in greater danger than ever, greater even than when the Soviet Union had enough nuclear weapons pointed our way to kill us all a dozen times over.
It's madness. It's a sickness. 28 dead in Newtown didn't faze them. Another nine last night is a bagatelle. All that counts is the braying of the donkey hordes about their "freedom" to kill and die by violence. There is no reasoning with a sickness that has penetrated a person's soul.
