Namely, you are 'elite' if you can break the laws or conventions, <b>get caught</b>, and have nothing happen to you. <br /><br />------<br />I assured him that he was in fact correct, they DID want “to be caught”, but not for the reason he thought. He thought that they wanted to repent, to have the burden of their guilt lifted from them. Would that it were so. That would indicate even a flicker of psycho-spiritual normalcy. Sadly, the reality is exactly the opposite, and we see this today all around us, but most especially in the realm of politics, with Hillary Clinton being the most obvious example that comes to mind.<br /><br />The hideous truth is that Diabolical Narcissists / sociopaths / psychopaths have no interest in repentance, reform or apologies. DNs define themselves by, and their entire warped psycho-spiritual existence revolves around, the notion that they are superior, a separate caste, distinct from and above other human beings. They are “the elite”. They are “oligarchs”. They are a “nouveau-aristocracy”. One of the main ways that this psycho-spiritual psychosis expresses itself is in terms of the law, and the Rule of Law.<br /><br />Have you noticed that the further a government descends into tyranny and evil, the thicker and thicker the code of statutes becomes? On the surface, one would think that flagrant law-breakers in positions of power would tend toward anarchy, removing the “roadblocks” from the law that might jeopardize or imperil them as they pursue ever-increasing levels of power through criminal activity. This is exactly wrong. DNs, because they define themselves as “elite”, need a metric against which to measure and quantify their “eliteness”. That metric is The Law, specifically the extent to which The LAW DOES NOT APPLY TO THEM.<br /><a href="http://www.barnhardt.biz/2016/07/19/on-why-diabolical-narcissists-like-hillary-clinton-want-to-get-caught-and-it-isnt-for-the-reason-you-think/" rel="nofollow">Link</a><br />----<br /><br />By that standard, our country is living in Marie Antoinette's "let them eat cake", time. And it has me wondering how long this will go on, before the "peasants" refuse to take it any longer.<br /><br />-- Steve<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-74600164841841881962016-08-13T14:47:52.811-05:002016-08-13T14:47:52.811-05:00These are the things of which civil wars are made....These are the things of which civil wars are made. Bloody, destructive, horrific civil wars. I'm afraid the next civil war in the US is going to make the last one look like a church ladies aid committee garden party. I don't think anything can stop it at this point but this election in November is probably one of the last chances to at least postpone it.

It makes sense when you see the education/wealth the say the Trump supporters have. <br /><br />It occurs to me this morning, that those people, those doing all right but concerned about others in their community are the backbone Middle Class. Those striving upper Middles in the tech centers are different. <br /><br />And it is when this backbone, community concerned middle class get motivated that things can change dramatically.

As in, this happened in 2014 when the potential democratic candidates were still little more than rumors. He was talking about the free pass Hillary got vs. other dem candidates, as opposed to vs. republicans. As such, the fact that he's the son of a prominent democratic politician doesn't point to him being unbiased but in fact does exactly the opposite. Cuomo was widely known to be considering a campaign at that point and from the sound of this Chris was annoyed that Hillary might be tying up donors who would otherwise rally behind his father.bmq215https://www.blogger.com/profile/06753133447458358901noreply@blogger.com
