With Haters Disease (aka: the H1FU virus)

Since the election of Barack Obama as president, a current of anti-government hostility has swept across the United States, creating a climate of fervor and activism with manifestations ranging from incivility in public forums to acts of intimidation and violence.

What characterizes this anti-government hostility is a shared belief that Obama and his administration actually pose a threat to the future of the United States. Some accuse Obama of plotting to bring socialism to the United States, while others claim he will bring about Nazism or fascism. All believe that Obama and his administration will trample on individual freedoms and civil liberties, due to some sinister agenda, and they see his economic and social policies as manifestations of this agenda. In particular anti-government activists used the issue of health care reform as a rallying point, accusing Obama and his administration of dark designs ranging from “socialized medicine” to “death panels,” even when the Obama administration had not come out with a specific health care reform plan. Some even compared the Obama administration’s intentions to Nazi eugenics programs.

Some of these assertions are motivated by prejudice, but more common is an intense strain of anti-government distrust and anger, colored by a streak of paranoia and belief in conspiracies. These sentiments are present both in mainstream and “grass-roots” movements as well as in extreme anti-government movements such as a resurgent militia movement. Ultimately, this anti-government anger, if it continues to grow in intensity and scope, may result in an increase in anti-government extremists and the potential for a rise of violent anti-government acts.

Don’t you dare disagree with the Obama Administration or the Anti Defamation League will stereotype you.

    To argue alone that this “healthcare reform” is not designed with the intent to collapse the private health insurance industry and lay the foundation for government-run healthcare is very absurd. The proponents of it have essentially said that. So that’s 1/6 of the economy.

    But then to argue the wider point that the other key parts of their legislative “change” package (Cap&tax/Int’l Treaties, Illegal Alien Amnesty, more UN control over stuff, The Forced Unionization Act, finance reform, etc) wouldn’t drive us into government taking nearly complete control of our financial lives (money is power) is purely delusional.

    But I guess the key here is that the ADL wants trademark protection on “Nazi”, “Hitler”, and “fascism”. They’ll tell us what totalitarianism to worry about.
