The danger we face

The danger we face


Romney is example of the unbelievable height of hypocrisy and falsehood that characterize politicians. Fact is that politicians lie with bold face because at any time and space there is some electorate who for some reasons would believe, want to believe the obvious lies of a politician. Therefore the problem with our politics is not the politicking but the electorate that cares less about facts, honesty, truth, sound reasoning or good judgment.

Fanatic is the one word that could best describe this type of electorate. Fanatics have leader or leaders they look up to. They usually do not question or challenge their leaders. It is very unusual to see a dissenting voice among this pack. They are very dogmatic in their belief even in the presence of overwhelming contradicting facts. Fanatics are typically and spiritually religious or superstitious but naturally suspicious. However they lack deep understanding of their religion or superstition. Fanatics are typically violent with mob and group mentality; unlike their leaders, the pack is usually not well educated, especially in common sense. As a group, fanatics usually belong to low to moderate economic class. However, they bitterly work hard.

Except the repetition of their leaders’ talking points, fanatics would not debate the issues that they rile against because they truly do not know and care less about the facts. Fanatics are indoctrinated doctrinaires with litle or no minds of their own and do not tolerate dissent. They operate with bandwagon mindset, us versus them mentality. These people cannot make revolution but they are the reason revolutions happen.

Fellow Americans this is the danger we face today in Romney GOP
