Biden: “Felt almost guilty”
Joe Biden on The Colbert Report:
“After my son returned after a year in Iraq, I watched at the coming home ceremony. And I watched his three-year-old son on his shoulders grab onto his head and would not let him go and his daughter hanging on his leg and I felt almost guilty because in my home state of Dover [sic], the 5,686 fallen angels who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan came through that mortuary,” he said. “And here I was within two miles of there bringing my son home, welcoming him.
Charles Starkweather, serial killer:
“One thing about dead people, they’re all the same.”
The definition of a sociopath includes the following:
no sense of responsibility
lack of moral sense
lack of guilt
self-centeredness

Joe Biden felt almost guilty when brought uncomfortably close to the reality of his role in the American slaughter machine.
Almost.
These are the words of sociopaths. People with personality disorders so severe they are unable to feel empathy for others, who avoid responsibility for their actions, and lack a moral sense.
You know, that moral sense that tells actual human beings that sending other peoples kids off to die for a lie is the ultimate evil a man can do. All those other peoples kids, they were expendable. They were the meat of American Exceptionalism that gets ground into the USA bullshit sausage. As the serial killer of the Badlands uttered, “Dead people, they’re all the same.”
Joe Biden would understand those words. He lives those words. As long as his child returned home to his family, healthy, not with traumatic brain injuries, not facing foreclosure and the desperation caused by our gutted economy…no, as long as Joe’s kid was ok, that was all that mattered to our Vice President.
He felt almost guilty. Charlie Starkweather would understand that. Because he and Biden? They ain’t that different. Its only a matter of scale.
