Wanna know why Scott Walker has the support of 50% of the voters in Wisconsin?

4. I fear that is exactly why. And the hate is against those who never harmed them at all.

It's proof of the truth of this warning:

If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing. ~Malcolm X

The media has made an industry of encouraging them to blame others, strangers for the most part, for their own personal problems. The way the words, Democrats, liberals, socialists, etc. have been distorted and the person who might consider topics for discussion or groups they may find themselves in agreement with, is out of proportion to the problems they may generate to the world of the Walker supporters.

They are hot and bothered about things that may have never happened, are not happening now or may never happen at all. But they feel this puts them into a group of victims or saints when they are neither. I fear many people have taken what they hear as the truth, letting those oft repeated, and very well paid for, lies rattle around in their brains without ever taking a cleansing breath to reflect on the fact that these are just thoughts, sounds, notions, pass fancies. And they want to hurt someone for that.

It's the zombie apocalypse of the American mind, with long-dead and discarded rhetoric resurrected to engender division. In the past, we used to say, just 'substitute the word Jew' for who is being attacked, and you will get to the source of the hate. Not because of the label, but because of the organizing of groups against each other for the benefit of the powerful.

Inundated with commercial and theatrical memes, we have been conditioned to take in all these concepts without ever taking time to question their validity. Even if a person goes to the wilderness or our domesticated natural venues to get grounded and reboot ourselves, if they are in that way of thinking, they can't live without their daily fix of electronically carried propaganda. They carry it with them, unwilling to let go of the high.

For example, it has been called heartening, that in a nation so emotionally manipulated as ours since the Cold War to accept a state of endless war and looking to fight enemies, real and imaginary, that we still have people who resist. That the great war machine on Planet Earth, the USA, still has millions who say 'No.'

We're in a battle for the consciousness for millions by the powerful who mean us no good.
