Why do the NeoCons divide us with Anger? Don't they realize they weaken
themselves also? That the overview shows the result of dividing this Nation, fragmenting us, is NOT GOOD. Divided we Fall, together we Stand.

So why do the Pubs persist in fostering Divisiveness causing The National Anger Level to rise? So that its easier to foster Delusuion?

Are they that Selfish not to see the Internal Damage they do every time they use the anger/delusion card?

1. You make the mistake of projecting your desires onto them.
They want power and as long as they're at the top of the food chain then who cares about everyone else?

2. Angry people don't think
and are easily manipulated. That's why they do it.

4. Because their arguments suck.
They need to manipulate prejudices, fears, and hate to get their goals.

6. Yup, they found a way to rob us at the same time...Legally. Damn.
The Pubs use "anger" to justify Delusion and counter productive efforts/results. But for the Head guys in charge of calling the shots, they make the big money while pretending to do a good job.
In other words, they don't have the good answers.

8. Because they do not put Country Before Party.
Just the opposite, in fact, like the Nazis on the Right and the Soviets on the Left before them.

10. divide and conquer
they know that their 'agenda' won't fly with the majority of people -- if we are paying more attention and expending more energy to fighting amongst ourselves then we won't be focusing on the issues

11. But but BUT the Wild Eyed Thing is a REACTION to the Pubs Numbness
and Ineptness of choosing BUSH as our Nations Leader.

Bush is THAT BAD, don't they not see it? Are they Blind? Deaf?

12. they don't realize that due to their hubris
It may take a long time or less time, but in the end they will fall, because they are motivated by greed - it's what causes the hubris.

The practical problem is they cause a lot of havoc before they fall.
That's why we can't sit by idly but rather we have to see to it they fall as soon as possible.
