OK, let’s admit it. The Zombie Apocalypse Meme is just the politically correct means of discussing the fear of what happens when the Welfare Checks Stop, and the Eaters come boiling out of the cities to raid the suburbs. . .
Exactly! I don’t know what it says about me, but I’ve always liked the zombie genre of horror movies.... I think because I look around and too few know what’s really going on or seem to even react much anymore. Especially here in the People’s Republic of Tucson. And it gets worse by the day (too many video games/electronic toys, too much toxicity in the sky/water/food, and so on doesn’t help).

Yep. That’s what I’ve been saying for a couple years. I knew it when I saw that first SEIU rent-a-mob during the 2008 elections.
From a freeper perspective I think you are correct...from a broader cultural perspective I think it is reflective of a culture obsessed with death and the occult ( look at the popularity of vampires too.)

I agree with you and the other posters. In addition the Zombie apocalypse IS the ultimate us vs.them scenario. Continuing on with the Zombie theme, zombies “recruit” their membership through infection, ie. Bites, scratches or blood contamination of any sort.
We see the same thing occurring metaphorically when “conservative” politicians go to Washington or the various state houses. They get contaminated and eventually become what they went there in the first place to oppose.
You are correct....nice euphemism for a zonked out Obama Citizen.
I saw a poster that said that “you know there are brain dead around you, you are just waiting for an official apocalypse to be allowed to do something about it”.
