41. Fear Mongering
Mon Apr 14, 2014, 09:38 PM
Apr 2014

The "Right " is nothing more than a fear mongering machine today. Who do you go after if you want someone to act against their own best interest???

Why you go after the lowest common denominators greed and fear!!!
These are the traits that are easiest to exploit. Almost every con every scam in the entire world operate off of these two factors and alot of times both.

Their scam relies upon creating a common enemy based upon the fear that the marks will lose something of great value to them to this common enemy.

Eventually this scam will fail as when you start focusing upon more than one common enemy, you begin to create a larger pool of those you villianize.

This is becoming more and more obvious with the demonization of our president. The right doesn't come out and say it but it scares the pants off those that are ignorant that we have a black person running our country.

They have used the old adage "never let a good crisis go to waste" They have purposely and strategically created a financial crisis within our country and laid the groundwork to blame their opposition.

The right has made it a point to ostracize those that don’t follow lock step in their deception calling them rhinos and belittling them for and form of free thought that falls outside their framework of misinformation/hatred of the opposition, Dale Schultz of Wisconsin is a great example.Dale looked out for his constituents best interest and represented his constituents interest even though it fell outside party.

In my opinion he didn’t run for re-election because he knew the big money would not fund his campaign and he would face a over-funded teahaddist in a primary that even if he won would do enough damage it would end his chances in the general election.


I could go on and on about this but the basic premise of the the right is this.

As the global economy becomes more and more intrusive into American economic and the resource of "wealth" flows out of this country, the right will try to fight an increase in inflation because it reduces the value of their wealth. When the wealth become less and less in country if inflation does not take place the amount of wealth in our economy become less and less(at-least for 90% of us).

What the real fight is really about is the right keeping their entire wealth intact at the expense of the American people and that’s why they are so willing to spend large amounts to demonize minorities and have puppet politicians.
