...the GOP's incredibly successful fear-based agenda. You know the one: Keep you numb with dread, convinced you are always at high risk of being utterly perverted or converted to homosexuality or of being mugged by swarthy terrorists or maybe communist hippies, and they can get away with anything.

I'm actually much more familiar with the Democrats' even more incredibly successful fear-based agenda. You know the one: Keep you numb with dread, convinced you are always at high risk of being lynched or beaten up by white rednecks or converted to fundamentalist Christianity or drafted into the Army or of having your free government money taken away and being forced to actually work for a living by evil, dark-suited capitalists, and they can get away with anything.
