In malodery, it's time to remind ourselves that we are dealing with someone who is both incredibly foolish and fiendish. We tend to forget that, somehow, from time to time. Remember George H. W. Bush's "thousand points of light" speech from 1988? Well, in malodery we have one of the thousand points of darkness. People like that are chipping away at our wonderful country, bit by bit. They do need to be opposed at every opportunity. But don't think you are going to change them with rhetoric. If we are going to oppose them with words, the point of those words really should be craft ed with the many people, in mind, that malodery (and all those others of like persuasion) are trying to hoodwink into assisting in the destruction of our culture and country. That's my suggestion.
I don't know what bit I've chipped away. Perhaps you could be more specific. Nor do I know how I tried to hoodwink anyone. I think I've been pretty straight froward in stating my thoughts.
Now the right wing nuts are a different story. They seem to want to control everything to their way of thinking and to suit their way of life. They tend to favor among other things the white, rich, fundamentalist Christians. The rest of us can fall in line or be damned. If we're not white or not rich, it's difficult to change those.
They're making elections dependent on the amount of money spent on negative advertising and the rich and the corporations they control, have more money than the rest of us. They also like to set barriers or create apathy, the feeling that it makes no difference, to reduce the voter turn out.
And they don't like us to know where the money really comes from. Pretend they are a social organization. Good for the IRS in pursuing those who tried.
What is scary, is all those who follow along thinking they are doing the right thing. That's where the hoodwinking occurs.
