When will the fear mongering end? Fear is extremely dangerous, especially when used to manipulate a society. Hate feeds on fear; and people don't need anything more to fuel their hatred. I am greatly appalled at the remarks that have been made following this election. I have never felt so much hate directed towards me than I have during these past few months; simply for having a more liberal ideology. I'm sorry if the thought of progress frightens you but please look back 200 years ago and tell me that you're not proud of how far we have come. From treating human beings as though they were property and murdering in the name of God, to a nation aspiring to equal rights for all. Although we as a nation may be less religious than we were 200 years ago; I believe we are, as a whole, more moral. Obama is not fueling peoples hatred of anyone, or inciting fear in the people as Hitler did, he is actually doing the exact opposite. He is attempting to bring the people of this country together through hope and desire for a better tomorrow. It is important to understand history so that we can learn from past mistakes and never commit them again. Compare Obama's rallies to Palin's rallies and tell me which were filled with hope and unity and which were filled with fear and hate? If you are going to be afraid of anything be afraid of your own hatred; because hate, fear, and dehumanization leads to mass genocide, not a 3% tax increase for the wealthy.
