It really is an ugly thing to behold. Not that it wasn't selfish and cynical decades ago, but it seems to have really intensified since 2008. The lengths they will go to with their money grubbing and power grabbing is disturbing. They care not a bit about the damage that they do, their eyes are always on the prize. And they do it while wrapped up in the flag and brandishing bibles.
