wickedness in the public square

The rhetoric of "99%": bogus, arrogant and evil (because it viciously marginalizes and lies about those it makes into outsiders).  No different than its cousins on the right, the corresponding appropriations of "patriot," "American" and so forth.  I hate no individual, no group, but how I hate mass politics.  Right, left, whatever.  To be clear: mass politics is not the same as democracy.
