Last Night's Republican Debate: Pornographic Coupling Of Hysteria And Fearmongering

90% of everything is crud... and the percentage is rising - especially on "the right side of the aisle."

Scare The Sheep 

And They Will Applaud Military-Industrial Profiteering

 The list of Republican lies about how Obama will supposedly "destroy America":
Those who cry wolf are significantly more destructive than other sectors of American society.

 Occasionally, a real wolf comes on the scene -- anthropogenic global warming for instance -- but almost always American conservative conjure a chimerical parade of fears with no real substance and even less longevity.

 Remember Ebola?

 A year and a half ago, conservatives would have us believe the new plague was a harbinger of Apocalypse.

 Remember Central American kids flooding into Texas?

 FEMA Detention Camps?

 The "horror" of government regulation banning incandescent light bulbs?!?

 For that matter... do you remember Al Qaeda?

"Conservatives Scare More Easily Than Liberals"

For all their blustery belligerence, they are, at bottom, scaredy cats, and their belligerent bluster is an attempt to assuage the terror of being intrinsically fearful people.

A year ago, this view of "the bad guys" constituted conservative normalcy.




Hermann Göring
Wikipedia

"Why of course the people don't want war... Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought along to do the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." Hermann Goering, Adolf Hitler's Deputy Chief and Luftwaffe Commander, at the Nuremberg trials, 1946.

 "It gives us a very special, secret pleasure to see how unaware the people around us are of what is really happening to them." Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

 "All this was inspired by the principle - which is quite true in itself - that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously... By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven...The great masses of people will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one."   Mein Kampf, Hitler

 I myself was to experience how easily one is taken in by a lying and censored press and radio in a totalitarian state ... I had to learn the facts, and despite one's inherent distrust of what one learned from Nazi sources, a steady diet over the years of falsifications and distortions made a certain impression on one's mind and often misled it. No one who has not lived for years in a totalitarian land can possibly conceive how difficult it is to escape the dread consequences of a regime's calculated and incessant propaganda. Often in a German home or office or sometimes in a casual conversation with a stranger in a restaurant, a beer hall, a cafe, I would meet with the most outlandish assertions from seemingly educated and intelligent persons. It was obvious they were parroting some piece of nonsense they had heard on the radio or read in the newspapers. Sometimes one was tempted to say as much, but on such occasions one was met with such a stare of incredulity, such a shock of silence, as if one had blasphemed the Almighty, that one realized how useless it was even to try to make contact with a mind which had become warped and for whom the facts of life had become what Hitler and Goebbels, with their cynical disregard for truth, said they were. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, William L. Shirer

 "You don't need a totalitarian dictatorship like Hitler's to get by with murder ... you can do it in a democracy as long as the Congress - and the people Congress is supposed to represent - don't give a damn"  
William Shirer, author, 1973

This is what not "giving in to terrorism" looks like.

Alan: Since 9/11, self-terrorization has been The National Pastime. 
In a tragic twist of self-degradation, America -- formerly "The Land of The Brave" -- actively allies itself with international terrorism's primary goal of making Americans live in an abject state of unrelenting fear -- fear now construed as virtue.

"Any Religion That Needs Fear To Thrive Is Bad Religion"

"Conservatives" who pride themselves on "questioning authority" never ponder their own deliberate manipulation by fear.

And, in a rocket burst of political pornography, they resort to fear as the most dependable control mechanism.

No, you are not the only one. In fact, you are emblematic of a cowering nation of sheeple who participate in their own oppression by not being free enough - or brave enough - to resist their calculated manipulation by consummately cynical people who profit from your submission to fear.

The one who fears is not made perfect in love."
