"When hate is that strong, it's SCARY"

"The people who want nothing more than to unseat the President scare the crap out of me," says reader Pam in the comments section of our post "The power of negative thinking":

I wanted to get a Bush/Cheney bumpersticker for Arthur's truck, but he won't. He can't. Everyone at the huge corporation he works for is rabidly liberal, from the owners on down. They all HATE the President -- the conversations he's heard in elevators would bake your eardrums.

If there's another conservative there, my poor hubby's not found him or her yet . . . they're probably trying to keep a low profile as well. Bottom line, he doesn't want someone slashing his tires or keying the side of the truck. Sure, it's a private parking garage, but when hate is that strong, it's SCARY.

Is this like the desperate throes of Iraqi insurgents trying for all they're worth to sway minds and hearts? Feels like it. I'm so sick of the hate.

Her heartfelt worries re the thought-control police in our own backyard called to mind something our own dear Dad, the Goomp, pondered recently:

Did the Communists/Marxists/collectivists win the nation's hearts and minds, after all, by entering through the back door, infiltrating our schools, colleges, universities and other opinion-shaping institutions?

Will enough of those suggestible swing voters who make their "minds" up based upon the last thing they heard on TV buy Michael Moore's "final solution" to deliver the White House to Hezbollah's chosen candidate?

Well, I've read about the Islamofacists getting in the back door through universities, etc... but is this hatred a product of that? It doesn't seem like it, but then I very well could be wrong.

What happened to everyone standing on a hilltop singing about buying everyone else a coke? Showing my age, eh? ;)
