secret fantasies of the heart
Most of us are wise to keep hidden the innermost longings of our hearts. Russell Shaw fantasizes in the Huffington Post that a well timed terrorist strike on the US might restore Democrats to their rightful power, and so make possible the enactment of his favorite social engineering programs.
In short, it might be better for thousands of Americans to be murdered than to risk that Republicans retain office in the next elections. Mr Shaw has the heart of a true reformer, he understands that sometimes you have to sacrifice others for the higher good. He has the Left Stuff.
Caerdroia administers a mighty fisking.

In the above post, you both take a cheap shot at the left and also misrepresent Mr. Shaw’s comments.
This is beneath you.
In Mr. Shaw’s Huffington Post commentary, he writesthat he is engaging in “[a]n entirely hypothetical yet realpolitik calculus that is ugly, and cold-hearted but must be posited:
This is a type of calculus that Pentagon war games planners and political consultants do all the time- a combination of what-if actions and consequences that are unpleasant to consider but are in the realm of plausibility.”
Mr. Shaw is clearly being hypothetically Machiavellian.
