Reply #22: Someone mentioned Media. I think the fear is generated by

[Sugarbleus]

a couple factors + one. First, the clever neo con media machine whip up the fear factor (as someone said herein) by urging and leaking "scary" info and sending "Alarmist" talking heads to spew their HYPERBOLE over the airwaves...over and over and over and over again. Get the people all foamy with dread.

Next, the ultra rw plugs into the fundie christian "end-of-the-world" types. This group is enormous with tentacles ALL over the world. They massage this group and play up to their fear of God being left out of everything thereby leaving the world to satan and all other sorts of evil.
This scenario has actually been ongoing since Reagan. The religious right, if you'll do the research, has been very active in politics (behind the scenes) for decades...making their moves, all along, to get to this place in government.

The corporations and wealthy, on par, will go with anyone who has their best interests at heart..religion and fear be damned.

Between harping on the religious aspects and with the Fear mongering, and then placing their "Father Figure-Savior" at these poor folks feet, the URW has forged a strong, misguided mass of hysterical people who demonize anyone outside of their point of view. It's VERY dangerous.
