Packs of dogs....

Even Domestic dogs can become vicious when they travel in a pack.
When domestic dogs attack domestic animals, they may injure or kill several, but they seldom consume their victims. Rather, they leave the impression that they were involved in vicious play rather than an attempt to obtain food. The most diagnostic characteristic of injuries caused by dogs is usually the slashing and biting of prey animals over much of their bodies.
In the past couple days I have oft thought of this. When mention of the RW attack in the US on the Frost family comes up.
Really, the RW blogosphere are no better than a pack of dogs attacking in the sick and perverted version of pack dogs who go after sheep, small pets and small children.
What would happen to what was once a human being to isolate them from any empathy they may have had at one time?
Nature, nurture? Politics? Have they watched so much TV that they think all is a game? That those who still feel caring towards their fellow humanity are seen as weak, to be played and toyed with until their wounds drive them to the ground, where they bleed quietly until they breathe no more?
One of the main players in the pack attack on the Frost family is Michelle Malkin. Such a case in self loathing would confound psychiatrists. She is in support of internment camps. Her family emigrated to the US, but she would like to close the borders now. (she was born in the US when her parents were there on a work Visa. ) If anyone knows of past scandals with this woman, they also know shes a rabid hypocrite. She posts others personal information on her own site, and then screams blue murder when the same happens to her. (Note: the left wing punished its own over that, there was no such repercussions from the RW for her)
She takes the current Republican view that anyone who needs help can rot, or, be attacked. Like a sick game with no emotion beyond a self gratification that most would correctly label as sadism.
Universal health care: That's a real stickler for that type. They would have anyone who cannot afford health insurance or health care costs be impoverished. Living on the street.......Or just dead.
How does it make their lives better to create a new level in the current class system? A new class that cannot afford to contribute to the economy, that cannot afford to educate their children? How does it help them to force people to choose between food, and electricity? Why does it cause them so much pain to accept that if everyone is healthy and happy, then society as a whole is healthy and happy?
How does it help them, to create a third world existence within the borders of the US? How does creating poverty where there needs to be none, make them anymore fulfilled in life?
There are also the Fundamentalist Christian Republicans.
I myself, am not a Christian. But I do appreciate the intent of the Jesus in the bible. His written words and deeds did not support what these people do in word and deed.
Causing harm to others as part of some sick game?
I think Jesus would even weep into his hands at the heartless acts of viciousness being perpetrated by his supposed "followers".
My own philosophy, is Harm none. But great harm is being done to many; with each denial of a medical claim so that health care becomes a commodity for the rich. To each child who drops out of school or cannot read a book, and to every child who doesn't have enough to eat. To the elderly who cannot afford medications, and to those who will lose everything as a result of an unregulated lending system.
Harm is to soldiers fighting a phony war, who return to face their demons on their own, at the detriment of themselves, and their families and friends.
Harm, is when people lose hope.
How much harm has the Republican party and their packs of pet attack dogs caused?
The masters at the top of that particular food chain get richer, and when something or someone threatens their place, they send out the pack.
But I wonder if the pack understands that the crumbs they get under the table are less than they would have if everyone had food on their table? That by harming everyone who may be in need for a short time, they are causing themselves to be forever static, and at that lowly place where the scraps are all they shall eat?
Most of the money, is held by that top 1%.
How many Malkins and Redhaters will get into the top 1% income bracket? They know they are just good dogs don't they? They are just being used for whatever purpose they serve to the top income bracket. When they outlive their usefulness, they will be tossed aside like so much trash.
Here in Canada as well, the top gets richer. Steve would love so much for us to become a theocracy based Feudal system. Just like Bush's and Cheney's vision for the US.
And the pack's of dogs will continue to do their masters bidding.
Can they be rehabilitated? Or have they tasted too much blood?
