"To worry about terrorists in the refugee pool is, flatly, stupid — no terrorist organization is going to pour resources into an avenue with such a small chance of success, especially when it’s easier to apply for a friggin’ visa and get on a plane (they can buy their guns when they get here, don’t you know). The reasons why so many people are voiding their bowels about it are simple: Ignorance, racism, xenophobia and bigotry."The American people are freaking out because we're being bombarded with images of our elite freaking-out but, the elite are mostly freaking out just to scare the hell out of us so they can add to their coffers (with the possible exception of Lindsey Graham who may be hiding under his bed at this moment.)
- The political elite promote it to make points in their quest for control. The R's are hammering it hard so the D's have to follow the lead or they look weak. Get elected, make some money for yourself and your supporters.
- For the media elite, it's a great ratings-week story. Fan the flames, gain some viewers, sell some advertising, make some money. Rinse and repeat.
- The war-machine elite sell the "Get your war on" story. Put your PR and consultant people on TV. Scare the common folk. Sell some war supplies. Make some serious cash.
- The Judeo-Christian bible-thumper elite see a good chance to unite their "good" religion against "those- people's" bad religion. Sell the "their sky daddy want to kill your sky-daddy" story. Make some tax-free cash.
I guess really, it's a form of Corporate-America advertising, scaring the hell out of the people to spur sales.
