Why do both liberal and conservative domineering leaders shift the focus of attention away from themselves; towards powerless/vulnerable people who are often blamed and punished for being the kind of "different" people that they are: poor, powerless, dis-eased, sick, thirsty, evil, sinners, confused, & doubters? How else can domineering people bolster their egos? How else can they prove that they are "good"; i.e., in control, important, powerful, and thereby safe, secure, certain, etc? They cannot control each other or their own desires for intimacy and true security - being both safe and vulnerable, in truly gracious ways of sanctuaries created by lovers in Love.
