Fear, Ignorance, Hate

I got to wondering once again what is behind some of the behaviors we see on a lot of forums, so I went looking. This link discusses one model, explained by a former FBI behavioral analyst, that is easy to apply to on-line forum discussions, where behaviors would, of course, play out in the first four stages. (The discussion on skinhead groups can be skipped over, if desired, with the actual 7 stages explained below.) It was the last section, though, on how indulging in hate tends to play out ...

Last week, conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt interviewed Zach Carter, who is The Huffington Post‘s senior political economy reporter. The interview’s purpose was to discuss Carter’s negative response to Hewitt’s previous interview of former Vice President Dick Cheney. The interview was lively and interesting but it did not go well for Carter, who was forced to admit his ignorance of the historical context of the situation in Iraq. Looked at one way, the interview might almost seem ...

What the hell has happened to people's ability to think through issues for themselves independently without being told what to think by their political parties????!!!! DISGUSTING!! ...

a few videos of the Tea Party rallies getting out of hand, acting like the fascists they are called, rioting, killing, looting, any of that aberrant behavior, I'd be very happy. If you can't, please shut your pie holes. You know nothing about the Tea Party. Nothing. I'll wait for some proof. ...

insurance companies et al is the driving force behind all the anti reform misinformation and propaganda out there. Why are they afraid? They have a HUGE financial stake in this bill. When this bill passes, whatever its final form, investigations will be begun to root out corruption and waste in all aspects of healthcare, most significantly the insurance companies. They are also not happy about the new regulations for reining them in, no caps, no dropping people, no r ...

If you will recall, Ms. Burdick's greatest fear was "common sense being lost." That's exactly what happened. I just heard a woman who was protesting outside the courthouse and she summed up what I feel completely. She said that jurors should be instructed strongly on using common sense, and not just looking for reasonable doubt. I know this was mentioned during closing arguments, but it went out the window. I feel this jury failed us. If common ...

I have been a transcriptionist for 16 years and am back in school full time to get a degree in social work. I'm shooting for an MSW. My husband makes roughly 2400 a month. I have just over 4000 in savings to supplement. Individually, we are each 25k in debt. This doesn't include the school loans I will be accumulating in the next few years to achieve my degree. We also have roughly 1600 dollars a month living expenses (utilities, mortgage, phone, sew ...

I will pay to put in each Republicans districts news papers to point out that there Representatives are lairs and hypocrites. If they were agents the Stimulus fine, but to vote against it and to Campaign against ....then take credit for it when they took Stimulus money for there district to put there constituents to work is somethi ...

NEW YORK -- Inspiring or inappropriate? New Yorkers and runners from around the world debated whether a marathon should be run with disaster for a backdrop. The New York City Marathon is a go for Sunday, with many logistical questions to be answered...... Runners like Josh Maio felt torn about whether the race should go on. "It pulls resources and focus away from people in need," said Maio, who dropped out due to an injury but is coaching about 75 runners. He agrees the race is a boost t ...

After reading this article, I realized that the greatest fear of American women is the same thing women fear all over the world, running out of money in their old age. This is a good article. It made me think. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/barbara-hannah-grufferman/life-after-50-womens-wors_b_861659.html ...

I have an extreme fear of bridges which keeps me from venturing anywhere there's a bridge. Even freeway overpasses affect me in a similar manner. Others either laugh or get annoyed with me, but I'd give anything to not feel this way, to just be like everyone else. Does anyone have this problem? ...

After perusing a large sample of postings on the political board, the greatest fear I have is the ignorance of the American public. ISIS, ISIl, and Putin are running way behind in my list of organizations to fear. ...

Okay, radical Islamists threaten us and Obama does nothing. Now police and whites are threatened and again Obama says nothing. This is too much of a co-incidence with two huge threats hanging over all of our heads. Anything to take over the government using the people against each other and an outside threat. Obama protects the Muslims because his background is Muslim. We should not have let him get by without the birth certificate thing immediately, not years later. Now he wants to d ...

Leaderless and lacking a strategy, top party officials worry they're not ready for Trump's first 100 days. As Donald Trump’s inauguration draws near, Democrats fear they remain woefully unprepared to fight the new president’s agenda. The party loses its standard-bearer once President Barack Obama leaves office, and the Democratic National Committee won’t get a permanent chairman and staff until March, two months into the presidency. That Democratic power vacuum has raised ...

This video is truly frightening as it shows the inability of these people to think about the ramifications of liberalism. Please see link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zmji36q8E4o ...

Before the fur starts to fly, yes, I know this is five months old, but I do not believe this particular article has been posted here before. I just heard this woman on the radio for the first time the other day and rather like what I heard. Her website has a wealth of information. ...

Those in nursing homes have the most to fear from Paul Ryan's plan, but their families will have to try to support them. That means they will give up (1) retirement funds including 401Ks, IRAs, (2) college funds , (3) homes (4) plans for the future. This is a cruel plan. The part that hurts the elderly effects me as I think of my parents and my grandmother, but it doesn't stop there. ...

By: Jake Sherman and Jonathan AllenFebruary 27, 2013 11:31 PM EST It’s not only the size of the sequester that has House Republicans fretting. It’s not like the GOP expects the stock market to plummet or furloughs across the federal government to drive up unemployment. House Republicans fear the massive spending cuts set to take effect Friday will result in Congress continuing to cede its constitutional power of the purse. Republicans are fretting that the $85 ...

I am getting on a plane in a few weeks and my anxiety is already through the roof about it. I've flown many times, but with each time, my fear grows and grows. My doctor prescribed me a Xanax to take before each flight, but I've never taken Xanax and I really hate taking medication because a lot of times it makes me nauseous. Any else have this fear? ...

As a liberal myself, I don't think fear of a black conservative has ever crossed my mind. But maybe because I don't have genius Allen West powers of deduction? “I’m speaking from experience when I tell you that there is nothing on this green earth that a liberal progressive fears more than a black American who wants a better life and a smaller government,” West said. Oh, he also insists that peace comes from the Marine Corps, not the Peace Corps. Call me cra ...

But New Year's is probably my least fave holiday. There's no particular reason for it. I've never had anything traumatic happen on that night. I just don't get excited for it. DH and I went out once or twice when we could get a sitter, but I still didn't get excited for it. I think it's because of the letdown from Christmas. From now until spring, there isn't anything going on and we live in the Northeast, so the weather will ...

Blogger Urges 'Bullet for Obama' on Twitter Secret Service investigating (Newser) – Secret Service authorities are investigating tweets by a conservative blogger apparently urging "a bullet" to President Obama's "head." Solomon Forell, upset by the impending passage of the health reform bill, noted yesterday that because the nation survived the killings of Lincoln and Kennedy, "we'll surely get over a bullet 2 Barack Obama's head!" reports Jezebel. He later a ...
