Watch Out!

The late senator from Alaska Mike Gravel left us with this note about fear.

There is a reason that we live in fear, and that is that we live in a democracy where people need to be motivated to vote for a certain candidate.  These people running for office are not idiots, and they know that our higher instincts are not what get us to the polls.

And this is especially true today, where the common American is so poorly educated and so stressed from the pressures of stagnant wages that he’s easily terrified that things could get even worse.

Watch out for the immigrants coming for your jobs, for the gays coming for your kids, for the socialists coming for your fossil fuels, for the colleges coming for your conservative values, and above all, for the Democrats coming for your guns.
