Souls Gone
Yesterday’s news about a James O’Keefe-run failed op to fake an accusation against Roy Moore in an effort to discredit the other accusations against him underscored something I’ve been marveling at for a long time. When did the party of “family values” (always a cruel joke, as any ostracized gay person could tell you, but still) decide that winning at politics was more important than how many young girls their preferred people might or might not have raped? Because that’s genuinely a new thing for them; twenty years ago, teenaged-girl-raping in their upper ranks was emphatically not something they would openly tolerate or defend in public.
A tweet by Dana Gould says it in a sentence:
When you hate your enemy more than you love your children, you lose your soul.
(I don’t normally truck with souls, much; I’m just an infosystem that runs on meat, evolved for driving an ape. But they believe in ’em; and it’s a handy proxy-word for things I do believe in, like integrity and honor.)

Yes indeed. George Orwell himself wrote about socialist who didn’t care about the poor, they just hated the rich.
Love the post. Went to hit the “like” button but of course there isn’t one. So, I became a Patreon patron, looks like I give the 150th dollar each month. I’ve checked in a few times a week for most of the time ErosBlog’s been around, Bacchus, and I should have done this when you first announced it. Thanks for being there and carry on!
You are welcome, and thanks so much for the support and kind words!
