Inbred Fear

The United States has lived with mounting fear all through the Bush/Cheney Administration.

Fear was constantly being thrown at the people.

One of the reasons that President Obama was elected is that he offered, in his campaign, Change – change that fear could be put behind you.

Unfortunately, you have yet to see that change. 

We see it, as a result of the ‘Fear’ that was spread all those years, the name-calling, brick-throwing, and unrest we read about daily in our newspapers and blogs and hear constantly on the news.

Some of your politicians have gotten so use to using ‘fear’ in their campaigns and in talking to their fellow citizens, that it has become a way of life for them to spread lies and to continue to listen to those that make a living out of teaching fear.

Fear breeds hatred and greed.

We are seeing a resurgence of hate for your fellow men because they look different, have different customs, or have different religious beliefs than yourselves.

This hatred is result of the fear that you feel – the fear of losing your jobs – the fear that your children might actually think for themselves and believe differently than how you’ve taught them – the fear that the way of life you grew up with is changing.

You have become a country of greed – and have forgotten one of the first things your mothers taught you – to share.

Only, “We the People”, can defeat fear.

You have to look into our inner souls to find the love that resides there and display that love so that the hatred and greed that fear breeds can be defeated.
