What do you think: What is the neocon's greatest fear?

[Hugin]

Since my last thread generated 0 replies...

I'll try, try again. :)

What do you think is the #1 fear of the neocons?

I'd say they wear their greatest fear on their sleeve.
They are afraid we're going to get to comparing notes
on how bad things are really being run. Get organized
and kick their butts to the curb where they belong.

1. Loss of control

They are control freaks by nature

[signmike]

22. Exactly what I was thinking. I believe tyrants use the tactics on others

that they most fear themselves. Ever notice how terrified cops are of anybody with a gun? Or wife beaters of being beat up? Handcuffing has more to do with instilling fear and humiliation than "for your protection".
imho

[Hugin]

25. I've noticed that about bullies too... Or "tops". n/t

[thinkingwoman]

2. that somehow, somewhere

someone will be happy.

[Hugin]

6. Wow...

Good one thinkingwoman.

I get that feeling too.

[elehhhhna]

23. Yep. May I add my theory on closeted self-hating gay reeps?

They have toed the line, married, oftentimes have kids, and boy it BURNS their CORK to see real, out, open gay people enjoying themselves, without shame. their silent scream: If I had to hide, you should too! Not fair!

People who stay in the closet are adept, well-practiced liars. A handy skill if you're Republicanoid.

[Hugin]

28. What you're saying makes so much sense. n/t

[elehhhhna]

46. yeah. I'm the armchair expert, Prag.

;^)

[thinkingwoman]

48. thanks prag

every once in awhile I am inspired. That was probably it for the next month or so. ;-)

3. The high level neo-cons are mentally ill

and their fear is that they will be discovered.

The lower level goons are afraid of losing their social standing.

I agree. It is past time to kick em in the nuts. Figuratively...Every. Single. Day.

[moggie]

14. Figuratively?

Why only figuratively?

[Tsiyu]

16. Good question

Lemme think about it....;)

[Hugin]

20. Cuz some of them ain't got any... ;) n/t

[oldlady]

4. Light

daylight, the dawn of truth-- and pulling off the curtain that's been hiding Lady Justice

[Hugin]

8. Darn vampires!

Yeah, I know you're talking about "revelation" sense...

Still, I can almost see them cringe at the thought of
daybreak.

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Becoming marginal again and not being "players".

Fear that they will be relegated to a minority fringe group that is ignored and has no influence and power to change all societal and political institutions permanently in their image.

7. Ever seen the video for Eminem's "Mosh."?

It's something like that.

[Hugin]

9. No, but, I've heard about it...

I guess I should learn more...

I'm glad Eminem has taken a stand.

[mattclearing]

18. If you have a decent Internet connection, google and watch it.

It's fantastic. People love/hate Eminem, but he has done all progressives proud just by being associated with that project.

[moggie]

31. He's just shifting units

Sure, it sent chills down my spine, but he's just a guy selling records.

[Hugin]

38. Alas, if only more would switch to sell records. n/t

[mattclearing]

44. Every bit helps.

Eminem's fan base is mainly disaffected youth. His rallying cry is meaningful.

If more people realized how profitable sane political beliefs were, we wouldn't be in this mess.

10. Exposure in the MSM

As I see it they can only maintain their current position because of the ignorance of the masses. You will notice that the three main conduits for information dissemination (TV / Newspapers, Educational establishments & Churches) are or have been infiltrated or attacked in an effort to control the release of dissenting info or opinion.
The only unregulated means at our disposal currently is the internets and that too is under attack with the prospect of regulation looming.
In my mind it is IMPERATIVE that we place more focus on the MSM and their relationships with the GOP and the WH. It's not something that can be achieved overnight, but the Gannon affair was a good example of a story that had the potential to gain legs and embarrass this administration in front of a wider audience. We should also consider if there are any further ways (beyond some excellent left-leaning Bloggers) that we can explore to make the internets more relevant as a credible news source. The more often that "internet sources" are quoted on MSM the more likely people are to explore that avenue, therefore lessening their reliance / faith in the MSM.

[Hugin]

19. Excellent! We must overcome this "divide-and-conquer" strategy. n/t

[bpilgrim]

11. thats what despots and tyrants always fear...

being EXPOSED like that 'fagot' GANNON.

thank GORE he 'invented' the INTERNETs

peace

[DrRang]

12. That Jesus will return and kick their butts. NT

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

13. The ICC.

The must get the heebie-jeebies when they see those old films of the Nuremburg Trials.

[PassingFair]

15. DEAN

n/t

[Hugin]

17. That's Dr. Dean if you don't mind. Hear! Hear! n/t

[G_j]

21. the truth about 9-11 n/t

[Hugin]

45. I truly wonder if we'll ever really know...

or will it forever be shrouded under a blanket
of conspiracy and indirection.

[Arger68]

24. Gay sponges???

:P

[Hugin]

26. LOL...

It must be scary to be them.

[DelawareValleyDem]

27. The election of a Clinton/Obama ticket

[Hugin]

29. See the post above about... "Somewhere, somehow... Somebody's happy."

:)

[Jimbo S]

30. Michael Moore

For his never ending quest to reveal the truths regarding the establishment, thruths mainstream sources refuse to investigate.

The right wing needs the establishment to keep themselves propped up, to conduct "business as usual".

[Hugin]

33. Yeah... and it's funny how they're the ppl...

Who are always spouting off about "socialism".

They're more dependent on the "socialist system" than
almost anyone else.

[Just Me]

32. Losing/Failure/Humility?

Their world view is so dark and ideological that I have considerable difficulty even imagining being in their crazy shoes. I mean, maybe they are so wrapped around their ideology as to preclude any rational fear (but certainly having the potential of creating extreme irrational fear i.e. paranoia).

However, there is something that they obviously avoid: "facts".

So, perhaps they fear that their intentional betrayal/deception of Americans will be revealed and the people will unite against them.

[Stop_the_War]

34. we the people

[Hugin]

35. Yeah, what about those guys! n/t

[koopie57]

36. they fear educated people

who are critical thinkers, happy and not afraid.

[Hugin]

40. Now...

"who are critical thinkers, happy and not afraid."

That's what I call faith.

[newportdadde]

37. Ultimately the same as most of us.. Death.

However short term I would say having their own personal skeletons found in their closet. These guys seem to always have nasty skeletons there.

[smoogatz]

39. The 300 pound black man named "Python"

who will be their cellmate in the Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. That's where they're all headed shortly after a Democrat is elected President, and/or Democratic majorities take over either house of congress.

[Hugin]

41. Their deepest fear is... Dropping the soap. ;) n/t

[indepat]

42. That they will be exposed for what they really are

[Hugin]

43. What are they? Really?

Control freaks?
Tops?
Manipulators?
A hollow shell of humanity?
Insincere?
Users?
Clueless?
Power mad?

I've begun to realize they show the symptoms of someone
who's worked all their lives to achieve something and
once they've gotten there they don't know what to do
with it.

[applegrove]

47. Having changed the world in their image while ignoring the needs &

desires of everyone else, that they will go down in history as 'misunderstood'.

[icehenge]

49. To admit a mistake /nt
