Guns and God
People get so mad when someone points out they vote on guns and God. Then they go to church and go target shooting. Then they vote on guns and God.

Fear and Hysteria
Fear tends to impel people to action. I'm glad our leaders don't prey on our fears to get us to act certain ways. At least not in this country. Except for all that stuff they do to keep us scared and compliant. The old, "We're keeping you safe." Safe from what? Oh right, knowledge and openness.
Just think of how scared rich folks are of that bogeyman that is going to step in and steal all their stuff. It's also the same as people being scared of attacks on our country from groups that could never destroy it. Bogeymen are amazing motivational tools because people lose their wits when they are frightened.
One great question to ask is, "Why is that person doing what they are doing?" Another is, "Who benefits from the action?" A third one should be, "Where do I get the information I base my decisions on?"
