Neo-cons, tea baggers, social conservatives, paleo libertarians and the like all seem to be so scared all the time. You think maybe some of it is about controlling the gullible and low information masses who subscribe to those belief systems?
Just look at your FB feed for about five minutes. So many people are so easily controlled and afraid of damned near everything that does not conform to their own self-image.
How is worship of conformity and disdain for individual identities anything but anti-American? These people are not patriots.
They are pathetic cowards with a fetish for control and power.
