It's his unenlightened ideology, destructive and disastrous policies, derisive humor, arrogance, and bellicosity that are all so completely reprehensible.
The veneer of his affable side is why so many allegedly wanted to have a near beer with him.
I've gone on and on for a long time about how hatred of * may just be what has kept him in power.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=3569357I heard last week on this show,
http://www.kpfa.org/archives/index.php?arch=24113 an interesting interpretation for the rather oblique King James' version of "Love thine enemies."
Since Arabic languages are far more multi leveled than the Greek, Latin, and English ones, for decades I've been intrigued by the scholars who are fluent in Hebrew and Aramaic who translate the verses directly into English.
One I had not heard until last week was translated by Neal Douglas-Klotz. He was a guest on the visionary activist show (on kpfa) this week. The shows are always archived to listen to at any time.
The host described this interpretation as "a vast instruction manual of great mystery."
"Love thine enemies" = "Love your enemies. From a hidden place, unite with your enemies from the inside. Fill the inner void. That makes them swell outwardly and fall out of rhythm, instead of progressing step by step. They stop and start harshly out of time. Bring yourself back into rhythm within. Find the moment that meets with theirs', like two lovers creating life from the dust. Do this work in secret. This kind of love creates. It does not emote."
Sounds as though you did that masterfully in your dream.
This approach is reinforced in Jungian psychology as owning one's shadow and here as well.

We have to ask ourselves, what imbalances within each and everyone of us created this sort of "misleadership."
Now go take a shower and have a much better day.
