Bill Kristol Calls For Americans to be ‘Awakened and Rallied’ to War
by John Glaser, March 17, 2014
Bill Kristol is not shy about his fetish for war. His latest piece at the neoconservative Weekly Standard borders on self-parody in the way that it openly longs for a return to a time when Americans were eager to send the U.S. military off on unnecessary, imperialistic adventures.
Kristol is frustrated by the “war-weariness” of the nation. He laments the reluctance on the part of the Republican Party to “challenge” “the idol of war-weariness.”
A war-weary public can be awakened and rallied, Indeed, events are right now doing the awakening. All that’s needed is the rallying. And the turnaround can be fast.
People like Kristol are so blinded by ideology that they breach the etiquette which calls on elite commentators to camouflage their enthusiasm for war with superficial appeals to peace. He loves death and destruction and wars of choice and he doesn’t care who knows it! He is way out of the closet. That he can explicitly call for Americans to be “awakened and rallied” for new wars and not be embarrassed…

Anger, yes! Apparently, there must be an anger phase to healing. Speaking from my own eicprxenees, this aspect is the most difficult for me to manage. As I’ve posted, before, I have always accepted blame for whatever had been done to me, and expressing anger has never been acceptable simply because of that belief. Somehow, I deserved whatever happened, and that goes back to the damaged inner child. Today, I am angry, but it’s a righteous anger. Anyone ever watch Anger Management? There is irrational anger, and there’s RIGHTEOUS anger. I have a right to be angry at what the exspath did I really do. If another human being accuses me of having been stupid to trust him, my response is that he had never given me a reason NOT to trust him and, in his own words, insisted that he was trustworthy. We only know what we know, and when someone perpetrates an elaborate and compartmentalized fraud against another person, stupidity is NO reason to deserve being victimized.Rage is different than anger. And, this is something that I want to avoid, at all costs. Rage is dangerous. I never intend to allow myself to dissolve into rage, again. The original topic of this thread was getting over the heartache of a sociopathic fraud. I don’t know if I will EVER get over it, and this is the safest place for me to talk about my healing without hearing that I just need to move on and get over it. I am moving further and further away from the exspath eicprxenees, but I will always carry the emotional scars from all of my eicprxenees with spaths I think that those scars should be a reminder to me to develop an almost icy counetance when I’m dealing with other people. If it’s wrong, it’s wrong no excuses or tolerance. If it sounds good or seems good, I have to teach myself HOW to step back and observe. And, I think the bottom line with regard to anger for me goes is that I was angry at MYSELF for having missed red flags and, yellow ones. That anger was misdirected. My anger is now directed towards the individual who perpetrated a long-con and terrible fraud. I don’t deserve my own anger. THAT’S where I became snagged for a very long time.Brightest blessings.
