Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin, and other addle brained celebrities
have hammered Moore, calling him "Un-American."
My many years in the trenches have taught me that people who are
morally bankrupt always resort to name calling.
When a person has sold out to "The Man", they don't have a position of
their own. Therefore in order to defend their Masters, they must
resort to trash talk. It is standard procedure to call anyone
defending and promoting peace and brotherly love, as un-American.
It is tragic enough for a young man to be gunned down by a mentally
ill person, but to turn him into an idol, based on his training as a
killer, is a sickness of its own.
Remember, Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin, are among the spokesmen for a
very small but powerful Ruling Class whose bottom line is world
conquest, not peace and brotherly love. What does it say for a people
who show no shame for having raised up young men and women to be proud
of their ability to gun down other human beings? While we are
fretting about diseases such as Ebola spreading across our nation, we
should be far more frightened over the spread of Greed and Anger.
