The American conservative movement has devolved into an all fear movement, hopping from one hot-button "fear this" specter to another with a propaganda machine that would make many a fear-monger of the past blush. Fear "death panels." Fear the Marxist in the closet. Fear "government." Fear the imagined civilian "security force" being built. Fear ACORN and SEIU, Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders. He sees ACORNs everywhere, and imagines Marxists in every closet. His favorite term for government advisers and department heads is "CZAR." and it's not an accident. He uses it to further fears that somehow, once again, the Commies are coming!
At the spear head of the right wing fear machine are the talk radio crowd. Too easily dismissed in the past, the real power of right wing radio is becoming more obvious. Literally tens of millions of "ditto heads" and the like tune in each and every day, sometimes for hours a day, to hear different versions of the latest talking points.
Sure, there are differences. Limbaugh is mostly a blowhard, Hannity mostly a bully-coward. And Glenn Beck is a quasi-messianic cuckoo. Still, if that was all, Beck could be dismissed and ignored, blowing in the wind to those who will listen. But there's more to it. He's pushing the envelope of sanity on those who might be dancing on a knife edge already.
What does it take for a person to move from disgruntled, angry, or disenchanted to a potential terrorist? They must feel victimized.(continued)

printed several of those out. I like to provoke whilst looking ‘meek’.
Oh yeahhhhh! I love reading that again!
TOO long.
We, the People, need to stand up en masse and TRULY TERRIFY these libtard panty waists with a righteous onslaught of God's own Truth the likes of which this millennium will never again see.
But...there WILL be a price.
MANY "Conservatives" are going to have to abdicate their precious ideals, bend the knee, bow the head, and prostrate themselves before The Throne of Him with Whom we have to do.
If our lives be not holy before Almighty God, our cause cannot be prosecuted in righteousness, and our victory is in jeopardy; The Republic stands yet imperiled.
If any man would see the preservation of the Republic, then let him first humble himself before The King of Glory, and swear to be his most loyal, and loving subject.
But, if any man be not so willing, then let him daily address his mirror, and bear forever the knowledge that his own Self was too high a price to pay for his own Freedom, and that of his fellow man.
Amen. Well said.
