    In order to sucessfully promote their socalist agenda, liberals must instill fear in the citizens of this country to exert control over our behavior, keep us orderly and reasonbly docile, and to keep us paying taxes. Social control is best managed through fear.
    There will always be some cause for fear created by those in power to keep us in line.
    After the fall of the Berlin Wall, something had to come in to fill the vacuum left by the fact that we no longer faced the Communist menace. Enter one environmental crisis after another. We have this politico-legal-media complex (PLM, State of Fear, Michael Crichton)
    dedicated to promoting fear in the population under the guise of promoting safety. Polititians need fear to control the population and lawyers need dangers to litigate and make money. The media need scare stories to capture an audience, and we are all pawns in this big game.
    Freedom of speech doesnt give us the right to shout "Fire" in a crowded theatre and it doesn't give the PLM complex to shout "Global Warming" in the pages of the New York Times.
    This global warming hysteria is the new fear that is being used to keep us in check. It is being promoted by an elite bunch of celebrities, politicians, scientists who must conform to get govt grants, and lawyers who see much money to be made. I also see a big giant tax on the horizon to offset ones "carbon footprint". While most of these invented fears will eventually run their course and serve their purpose, this new one can be manipulated and made to go on forever. Will it happen in 5 years or 1000 years? Whatever the case, something must be done now.

    Liberals and conservatives have the same agenda - one world govt and both use fear tactics such as Bush's War and claim that if we don't fight foreign wars then Iran will invade New York City.

    A global government needs the power to tax globally.

    Liberals controlling through fear? Interesting twist. It was Bush, Ridge, Rummy, et.al. who have that color coded fear alert; wrap your house in plastic wrap and hide under the bed advice.

    I disagree that the liberal socialist agenda is to make advances through fear. I believe they advance their agenda by manufacturing victims. ie welfare, government socialistic healthcare, illegal alien immigration, the murder of unborn children etc.

    And fear is still the #1 tool in creating these victims. I almost agreed with your statement though but even if these victims are not legitmate they are still a part of a fear factor to manipulate the general populace. Liberals aren't the only ones who know how to use fear to their advantage, depending on how one would classify George Bush he has used fear quite well to advance his agendas.

    Bush has turned us into a nation of victims with his "be afraid" campaign. We need another FDR! Or a Truman.

    Along with the UK we're also being turned into a nation of snitches.

    It isn't just Bush pushing the be afraid campaign. The democrats and mass media are all singing the same tune also. Be afraid give up the constitution and bill of rights or the government won't be able to save you. Oh, and snitch on anyone that doesn't go along with the hype or dares to question authority.

    Bush isn't promoting fear to push his agenda, he is addressing a real and present danger, a danger that came to our doorsteps. I do believe we need to address more than just Iraq and the terrorists that war attracks in order to keep this danger out of our streets, but the blind libs have effectively hog tied any chance of that happening effectivel placing America is very grave danger from these maniacs.
    The liberals mode of operation is to fabricate danger, like this present global warming nonsense, or to promote racism, or class envy, in order to gain power, and of course, transfer our money into their coffers. Our money in their pockets equals power to them. But it's more than just money they crave--they also want to be viewed as the saviors of the world--to be lifted up and praised just as their father lusted to be lifted up before man was created. Those who promote Satans agenda will use his tactics as is being demonstrated among his followers today as never before. His agenda and tactics seem to be unmasked more than ever before in history and it's disgusting that so many of those calling themselves God's children are buying into the devils plans and agenda and calling it good.
    I'm not saying all conservatives are God's children, or that conservatism is completely inline with God's principles, but I am saying that todays liberalism is pretty much completely opposing God's principles.

    Is the above quote really accurate?

    Do liberals support the sin of gay acceptance?

    Do liberals support the sin of slaughtering innocent life, tearing infants apart in the wombs?

    Do liberals support the sin of stealing from the rich under the guise of giving it to the poor?

    Do liberals support the sin of turning a blind eye to the plight of those neighbors being slaughtered in foriegn countries by dictators like Sadam?

    Maybe the statement is pretty accurate?

    God Bless!

    It is saddening that the above quote also describes many "liberal" Christians.

    The board suddenly falls silent when sin is brought up, but folks get all fired up over Bush and the war. Pray we would all get fired up and begin voting against all of the multiple sins we have allowed our representatives to embrace.

    I have heard it said that this country is made up of around 70-80% Christians. I don't believe this number is accurate because it includes those who think they are Christians maybe because their grandmother was. They think it is by inheritance and have no understanding of regeneration by the Spirit.

    But I ponder, what if all true Christians repented and refused to vote for any candidate, republican or democrat, who did not embrace the right to life. How would the face of congress shift in about four to six years. If they knew that taking the abortion side was a sure defeat at the polls, wow, abortion would cease to be a political issue. It would be a no brainer and be seen as what it is, murder and it would be against the law as it was for hundreds of years before Roe.

    But sadly, money and loyality to the party line rather than Jesus Christ is prevailing in the church of God. How Jesus must weep as children get ripped apart in the wombs of their mothers everyday while Christian voters go to the polls and cast their votes in support of this slaughter. And those same Christians hang their heads at the thought of Hitler's holocaust. What about the church of God's own holocaust? I pray you repent brothers and sisters before the judgment seat of Christ comes.

    God Bless!

    Since it is against the posting rules to condone the behaviors listed above some folks on this board find a need to remain silent.

    In all honesty I believe it is the conviction of the Holy Spirit within that causes pause and provokes righteousness. Those Christians voting for these murderest supporters know via the Holy Ghost that it is wrong to vote for them. The Spirit convicts us of sin but it is up to us to repent of it or continue on ignoring it.

    God Bless!

    Are you insiting that all Baptists and Republicans participate in these behaviors? Ans therefore have no ground to take a stand on the op?

    Well, the OP is insisting that all liberals "instill fear in the citizens of this country" in order to "promote their socalist agenda". One's about as valid as the other.
