Reply #6: The RW needs an enemy to survive

[Paula Sims]

Funny how they talk about "Christian" morals and ethics but don't practice it. First the scare was "Communism" and now "Terror". Can't they find a REAL enemy to fight instead of an ideology?

The truth is, meanies and bullies thrive on the fear of others. They need to generate a boogieman and make it the target. I'm not saying we shouldn't defend ourselves, but let's pick a REAL threat instead of making one up. The interesting part is that at some point, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy that gets out of hand.

The other interesting part is that all suppression begins with an ideological enemy and the first thing that is attacked are the intellectuals that dare to think, question, and reason.
