In a gas chamber.

I'm not so sure that I want people who are pure. Especially in the realm of politics. Yes, candidates on the far right are advocating purity. They want everybody to be just like themselves. Which means meeting their standards of purity. That reminds me of fella named Hitler. He wanted purity, too. He thought of the Aryan race as superior. As pure. And he wanted everybody to march in goose-step. I've noticed similarities on the American political far right. Let's declare America uber alles. Above all else. Let's meet the prescribed high standards. And march in lock-step. Let us be pure. And racially, that means white. White as one can be. Not black. Not brown. Not Hispanic. Not Asian. And most likely, Christian. Certainly not Islamic. Those on the far right don't like the mixing of race. They want purity. Purity of principle. Purity of political ideology. Even purity of flesh. They'd rather lose an election rather than sacrifice their idealized concepts of purity. They aren't about to compromise. To trade off. In order to get a part of their agenda accomplished. They want it all. The whole caboodle. You are either with 'em, or against 'em. There's no middle ground. They are extremists. Sort of like Islamic terrorists. But the two of 'em together, and you'll have a holy take-no-prisoners war. These extremists on both sides aren't lovers. They are haters. A lover loves unconditionally. Avoids becoming judgmental. Even embraces his/her enemy. I suppose that's pure love. Purity of heart at its best. Well, this other kind of political purity seems more like the love one would get from Hitler.
