Americans Are More Afraid of Government Corruption than of Global Warming

[boedicca]

Americans are much smarter than our Dear Leaders hope. We have a quite healthy and rational fear of corrupt government. It's the #1 Fear in the Chapman University Survey.

Global Warming ranks below Fear of Reptiles. Lizards are more scary than the Big Issue that Obama and the rest of the Global Looters wish to use to destroy free markets, the middle class, and personal liberty.

Fear is an irrational emotion, if you were not ruled entirely by it you would know that.Americans who have courage are disgusted by how easily you people are led around by dishonest people telling you scary stories.

Are you nuts? Fear is a perfectly healthy psychological response which evolved so that people can sense danger and protect themselves.

So the object of fear is immaterial? How do you feel about zombies?

No one fears 'global warming.' We like being "warm." Why they changed the terminology to 'climate change." Everyone hates change.

dear, our Founders were being honest when they said govt had been the source of evil in human history!! And, they said that without seeing the great 20th Century liberals, Hilter Stalin and Mao.

You have seen them, and our liberals spying for them, and you still are a liberal . How stupid does that make you?

The fear response was not evolved for thinking, it was evolved for running away or fighting. In our modern world the fearful are the most easily fooled. In our modern world those who are trying to scare you are trying to control you. When one is ruled by courage they may achieve great things, when one is ruled by fear all they achieve is their subjugation.

You are making a logical fallacy. Fearing something is not the same as being ruled by a fear.

totally stupid line of reasoning as usual:

Conservatives teach fear of govt
Liberals teach fear of freedom

It's a straightforward question. Does the object of fear matter? If you can't answer it, that would not be at all surprising.

No such thing as man-made climate change, a nonissue.

If a person is courageous fear is momentary and easily conquered. I have not noticed that quality in conservatives in a very long time. Personally I do not respond to scare tactics. Immediate threats are rare and long term threats require only preparation and level headed resolve to deal with. Fear is unnecessary.

Yes, the object of the fear matters. Not all fears are equal. Rational fears are based on real or plausible dangers. Irrational ones aren't. A healthy adults can tell the difference.

Not so. Startle a newborn and it will cry. That's a fear response.
