Reply #11: Fear...Get Your Fear Right Here... [View All]

Shall we count the ways this regime is trying to scare the sheeple? It's all based on the basic "fundamentals" of the Repugnican party...racism, sexism and discrimination...the mother's milk of every ignorant wingnut.

There's the "terror" threat of brown-skinned, non-Christians flying airplanes into people's heads and the phony shell game of Iran having a nuclear weapon and how they're out to destroy our ways of life...tractor pulls, gun shows, cross burnings and the like. If the "infidel" Democrats gain power, those hordes will surely launch attacks all across the U.S. like they did in the 90's. Oh, the only terrorist bombing in the 90s was done by a White Supremecist? Oh, pay no attention to facts, we're talking fear here.

Then there's evil gringos and Frito banditos who are streaming by the billions over the Mexican border to bring their filthy ways of life...a language other than English, Roman Catholocism and millions of possible Democratic votes. Let's mobilize all the facist militias and mobilize the military to prevent these evil brown-skinned demons from coming here to pick our fruits, work in our factories, mow our lawns, build our houses and all those lame-ass jobs that "real" Amuricans wouldn't want to do anyway. Oh, you mean those people coming across the border are unarmed and have to manuever across 20 to 50 miles of desolate dessert...facing possible death just to make in one hour (at minimum wage or less) than what they'd made in a day at a Mexican factory owned by an American corporation? Again...keep your eye on the fear ball here...facts and reality have no place when you're trying to scare the shit out of those who need a good demon to hate...and c'mon, hating Mexicans has been an American tradition since the 1830s.

Now we've got the threat that two guys or two women are going to ruin everyone's marriage by being able to live together and bring their "perverse" sexual picadillos into the mainstream. We let these fags get married and before you know it, they'll be multiplying and spreading their "un-natural" habits in schoolyards all over the country. That's right, it'll be a major threat to my 25 year marriage as if they are able to marry, surely that will minimalize all that my wife and I have worked to build together and we'll soon be wanting to find same sex partners and encouraging our heterosexual children to do the same. It's fait accompli, ya know. Oh...you mean this isn't about sex? It's about two people who are in a committed relationship being able to share such immoral things as medical benefits, pensions and other financial services that a "real" Amurican enjoys? It's not about allowing NAMBLA to open branch offices in every Red state. Oh, and you mean the concept of a committed relationship doesn't refer to the large number of divorces and broken families that have been created by the financial hardships the war on the middle and lower classes the Repugnicans have been waging for the past 25 years. Again...forget the facts, this is Fear...those evil Democrats are sure to turn Barney Frank loose on the Judiciary committee...and before you know it, we'll all be wanting to be interior decorators and hairstylists.
