What kind of cognitive dissonance exists when a draft dodging asshole tries to lecture the nation

25. Thanks, that's a great Wiki page - definitely a bookmark!

I'm sure you understand that those of us raised up to deal with our fellow man in fairness and truth really struggle with these actions. I really fear for the future of our country when we elect people who do not believe in the concept of public service and lie constantly to gain power. And, they've co-opted many of our churches, substantial media outlets, and sectors of our military as partners.

As a life-long Democrat, my strong revulsion toward them began in the '60s as I watched Spiro Agnew go around the country spewing hatred, covert racism and lies. Prior to that, I mainly recall just Bob Done on TV grumbling about taxes, and someone had cans of Goldwater soda pop.

They seem to only believe in public control rather than public service, which perfectly suits their minders and donors. Hard to maintain hope in these times, but we must not let them get us down.

Sorry for the rant - I'm relatively new at DU and have a large backlog of venting to do, LOL.
