Find Out What’s Driving The Birthers, Deathers And Fringers

What a strange world, from Presidential birth certificate conspiracy theorists to a Congresswoman calling the administration a gangster government. Why are people behaving this way? It is insecurity, find out where it comes from and who is pushing it.

Something is amiss in the fabric of our great country and it is not just a deep recession. There are sign of a deep cultural divide that has some teetering on the edge of paranoia. The ultimate other apparently has landed in out midst and he is plotting to hand over our nation to the enemy like an overripe fruit. Never mind that President Barack Obama was elected by almost 70,000,000 Americans in a resounding victory over Republican John McCain.

Is this some form of mass hypnosis that has taken hold of a sizable portion of the population? No, this is the execution of a plan to exploit the fears of a segment of citizens for political gain and profit. Dog whistles and code words are flying around and some take them to heart. Throwing around terms like socialist, Marxist and gangster government are designed to create fear in the mind of some. The message is that they are coming to get you. This gang led by a President with a Muslim name wants to take your money, freedom and guns.

This type of fear mongering has turned into a cottage industry and those peddling speeches, books and television shows that pander to those feeling have become wealthy. An article titled “Sarah Palin's Earnings Over 9 Months Estimated at $12 Million” by Brian Montopoli April 13, 2010 and published on the CBS News website details Sarah Palin’s earnings from speeches and books over the first 9 months after she resigned as Governor of Alaska. Glenn Beck, Mike Huckabee and others are also fattening their bank accounts by selling fear to the fearful.

Let’s cut to the chase, some feel they are losing their deserved place in the pecking order of America as the economy changes and demographics shift. It is one of the oldest techniques in the world to sow fear and division to gain power and profit.

Mike Huckabee’s Hypocrisy, Criticizes Natalie Portman Skips Bristol Palin, Baby Mama Drama

Why did Mike Huckabee have to go all the way to Hollywood to find an unwed mother to pick on? The potential Presidential candidate could have just looked at his Fox News coworker, Sarah Palin and asked her if it was ok for him to pick on her daughter Bristol. For some reason Huckabee is working overtime to embed himself like an Arkansas tick into the minds of the far right wing as their guy when it comes to hot button social issues.

Huckabee criticized Portman for glorifying being pregnant and unwed with comments she made in her acceptance speech. What about Bristol Palin, who has built her notoriety largely on the fact that she was an unwed mother and daughter of her famous mother, Sarah Palin. Natalie Portman just won the Academy award for best actress, the fact that she is unwed and pregnant really does not factor into her fame.

If not for the fact that Bristol Palin was a pregnant, unwed teenager during her mother’s campaign for Vice President, she would have just been another one of Sarah Palin’s children, but her pregnancy was her notoriety. Bristol has used her unwed condition to become wealthy and famous. Sarah Palin’s daughter has been on one of the most popular shows on television, Dancing With The Stars die to her rise to fame.

Governor Huckabee you picked on the wrong unwed mother. It is much harder to become an Oscar winning actress with enormous talent that happens to be pregnant than to be a pregnant high school dropout and then rise to fame. It seems that your coworker’s daughter has sent a far more damaging message. You chose to select your baby mama drama by thinking you can double down by bundling a social issue with Hollywood elitism and get in deep with the far right fringe.
