Tough Guys in the Senate

So, they voted to continue funding the abomination in Yemen. Each party struggles to take the strongest stance in the fight with our many enemies. *The neo-liberals and most of the Republicans think it is a good idea to contribute to the continued destruction of one of the poorest countries on earth. The Saudis’ want it to be their breadbasket when they make the move to desalinate with nuclear power--very forward thinking of them. We want to keep Arabia as a partner in order to keep the price of energy low, thereby harming the emerging oil rich countries of Venezuela, Brazil, Iran and, of course Russia. I suppose the politicians feel that the voters are to ignorant to understand the geo-political maze of the modern global economy; that the economic benefits of slaughtering a million starving people has to be understood in all of its rich complexities; that those who oppose the atrocity are weak, stupid, do-gooders with a kind heart but no sense. Well to them I say “you are the misguide ones.” I could expand on my reasoning but if you cannot figure it out for yourselves with the following clues A) moral compass B) survival of the species C) imagination, you will never achieve enlightenment. You see, I am trying to be forward thinking; if I were otherwise, I would just say “fuck you.”
