Good grief, CB. What is there to be afraid of? Sheesh. If my opinion of conservatives and conservatism was based entirely on what I read on FR I would be led to believe that 90% of what conservatives stands for is trashing 'Rats and the MSM.
If I'm afraid I'm much more afraid of "RINO's" than I am of 'Rats. At least with a 'Rat you know what you're getting. It's the old adage: "the devil I know ..."
The mere notion that "90% of what conservatives are about is against Democrats and MSMs"...or words to that effect, tell one more about your naivete than you might imagine.
That followed by your admission that you are more afraid of RINOs adds a capstone on the case that your entire world is ruled by FEAR.
Fraidy Cats make poor political opponents. They rarely have time to even consider overriding issues because they are paralyzed by fear.
As a former Fraidy Cat, let me share the wonder of righting your universe with optimism and faith and trust.
As difficult as it may be to change, it is worthwhile to do it. So. Get to it.
