Reply #15: Fear is where its at

[beltanefauve]

The powers that be (no, not Bush*, the ones who pull the strings) have been manipulating us for some time now with two weapons: Fear and Ignorance. Marriage? Needs PROTECTING. The "tax-and-spend Democrats" are out to TAKE YOUR MONEY. Those foreigners and illegals are out to TAKE YOUR JOBS. And so on. These people (or should I say sheeple) HAVE to stick with the "Father-Knows-Best" belief in government. "Go ahead," they say, "Take my civil liberties and protect me from the terrorists". And what's worse than being attacked by the terrorists, or the Communists, or the Boogeyman?

Losing one's place in line, that's what. And might makes right. Look at the demographics to see exactly who Bush's* base is, and who has been giving him the most support in the midst of falling poll numbers. Its the ones at the very front of the line, or the ones who MOST ASPIRE to be at the front of the line, who feel they have the most to lose.
