What's kind of got me rattled is how many people on the far right who I literally have no other agreement with feel the same way. Beck, Ron Paul, bunches of wingnuts at sites like Whirled Nuts Daily, Moonbattery and the Blaze...
It's the average people who have been duped by fearmongering about scary brown terrorists out to murder us in our sleep who are fine with giving up their rights for the illusion of security, apparently.
