FEAR!

What is it about right-wingers that make them so fearful? They are always fearful of 911 and Communists, fearful of Muslims, fearful of atheists, fearful of a few hundred terrorists, fearful of Al Qaeda, fearful of gays, fearful of evolution and objective science, fearful of liberal veterans, fearful of anti-gun policemen and fearful of powerful women politicians as well as other assorted boogie men found around the world. Talk about paranoid. 911! Have they been smoking some of those funny smelling cigarettes? Why are they so afraid? Are they just cowards or truly intimidated by anyone with different opinions? Why do they always have to cling to a bogus enemy they can demonize? Are they so insecure in themselves and their cause that they have to have a nemesis to campaign against or blame for all the world’s problems? Boo 911! They are threatened by imaginary things like a war on Christmas, evil secular humanists, or attacks on marriage and family.

With another national election on the horizon I wonder what new threatening neurosis will overcome right-wingers. Watch Out 911! Could it be illegal Mexican immigrants or maybe gays again but more than likely the vast left wing conspiracy of smart women politicians and of course 911? Now that is a real threat to chicken hawk tough guys who have messed this country up in every possible way due to their stupid “bring it on” and “mission accomplished” attitude. There never seems to be a shortage of scary political monsters to frighten right-wingers into following a fear-mongering pied piper down the road to needless war, rendition, torture and the extinction of Constitutional guarantees. I just hope reasonable people see beyond the hate, fear, 911 and paranoia this time around.
