Fear and Cheating Works

In a couple weeks we will witness the political fact that fear and cheating works.

America will more than likely barely elect a Republican majority in the Senate, to go with a small majority in the House.

The manner the Senate is re-elected has something to do with this,  Democrats have more seats to defend than Republicans this cycle.  But fear and cheating is at work as well.

Fear from the non-stop never ending conservative noise machine, that of late has even stooped to using Ebola as a scare tactic agaiinst the Democratic Administration who has nothing to do with the spread of the disease (which in the United States is miniscule).

Fear of the middle east, that poses not much of a real security threat to the vast majority of Americans.

The inter-tribal and religious civil wars that rage, have nothing to do with the United States; save the destabilizing effects the hopeless Iraq War had.  But we must be afraid, because as Senator Graham unbelievably said, "They will kill us all".

The Republican Party takes fear mongering to new level of absudity.

The President's approval ratings are at new lows, getting the blame for "losing Iraq" when remember, the duly elected government there a couple years ago demanded that we leave.  That's right, if you remember they demanded that any American Forces remaining would have to be subject to Iraq control and laws, which no American Force has EVER accepted.  That is why we pulled all of our troops out.

And, if anyone cares to remember, the whole thing depends on Iraq fighting for itself, which has not happened.  Thousands of Iraq infantry threw down OUR weapons when a vastly inferior in numbers force moved against them..Iraq will not fight for itself, it wants to fight against itself; and that is a legacy of George W. Bush.

But that is too truthful, the cheating fear mongering way is to blame, and blame, and blame.  Forget history, just blame, the fooilsh Ameriican public will buy it!

Then there is the vote ID con, that purports to have found thousands of cases of voter fraud, when only a handful really exist.  So, a white shrinking minority can elect  white minority representation to rule a increasingly diverse country.

That makes no sense as well, but remember, winning is everything. A white minority ruling a vast diverse country will lead to nothing but turmoi.

What should we really be afraid of?

The country is crying for real economic reforms.  The rich are getting richer and the poor worse off....the middle class is shrinking.

Minority racial rule always leads to political instablity:  witness the South in the Jim Crowe era and South Africa.

Even Wall Street of all all areas, is warning that this economic divide is harming economic growth.

And finally, because of all this fear and cheating, we are barely noticing that the climate predictably has gone crazy, as global warming grows in intensity.

Economic social injustice and climate change are what we really should fear!!!
