Leftists are their enemies and are to be loathed. How can the loathing be stoked? The fires of hate flamed? Disinformation.
Welcome to www.discoverthenetworks.org where you will find information about these topics that could have just as easily been written by the staff of The Onion.
Let's click on Groups, then Animal Activists, where we will find PETA. This is what it says:
in a speech at the Animal Rights 2002 convention, where she said: "Our goal is total animal liberation." That term refers to the permanent elimination of what animal rights activists consider “exploitation”; i.e., any use of animals for purposes of food, labor, and entertainment. The world they envision has no place for the meat, dairy, leather, fur, silk, and wool industries. They likewise object to fishing, horse racing, zoos, circuses, the use of animals in medical research, and even pet ownership.
But wait! What does
PETA say about pets?
Contrary to myth, PETA does not want to confiscate animals who are well cared for and "set them free." What we want is for the population of dogs and cats to be reduced through spaying and neutering and for people to adopt animals (preferably two so that they can keep each other company when their human companions aren't home) from pounds or animal shelters—never from pet shops or breeders—thereby reducing suffering in the world.
The above is just an example of the Ideologically Inspired Fear Mongering you will find at www.discoverthenetworks.
One of their biggest groups they instill fear are.....are you ready for this?
THE RELIGIOUS LEFT
If you go to the link, you will find that the 4th word is STALIN, because he was at some point a seminarian.
Perspective is such a fascinating science. Millions and millions of Americans are terrified of the Religious Right, expecially the Dominionists, who would love nothing more than to take hold of our democracy and force their beliefs on the rest of us.
A perfect example is the efforts by the House of Representatives to create a law making it legal for employers to NOT provide birth control through the companies insurance plans. In essence, this minority wants to be able to dictate to the majority. I call this theocratic tyranny.
So what is so frightening about the so-called Religious Left? I'll paraphrase:
The Religious Left insists on following the example of Jesus Christ.
What does www.discoverthenetworks.org actually say?
Since the 1960s, the religious left has expanded its reach to embrace the tenets of leftist doctrine in a host of spheres, including:
Radical environmentalism (depicting capitalism and industry as inherently destructive to the natural world);
Feminism (supporting "pay equity" and, in some cases, universal access to taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand);
Gay rights (supporting a radical redefinition of marriage and family);
Anti-war movements (viewing the United States as the chief cause of international strife);
Open borders (supporting amnesty and expanded rights for illegal immigrants);
Human rights (classifying the United States and Israel as the world’s foremost transgressors);
Civil rights (characterizing the U.S. as an irredeemably racist nation where preferential policies are needed to counterbalance this intractable trait);
Criminal justice (viewing crime as a by-product of corrupt social institutions like capitalism); and
Economics (again, depicting capitalism as an exploitative system that harms the vast majority of the world’s population for the benefit of a small, powerful elite).
Many Christian churches seek to justify the foregoing views by asserting that Jesus Christ himself, were he alive today, would have adopted these same positions.
You see, the Compassionate Christian Right Wing is horrified by the above attitudes. Why? Greed. It costs money to run a socially just country. It also requires constraints on corporations so that the air, water, and land aren't destroyed. And, in the mind of the Right Wingers, social justice and corporate accountability are tantamount to Communism. Therefore, the Left is to be feared more than death itself.
I think many of these Teahadists are hoping they can be uniformed, armed and given free reign to unleash on those they call Leftists, but I could be wrong. Historically, it worked for Hitler, Stalin, and many other despots, but somehow the Right Wing can't see their image in any of these scenarios.
Mind boggling and really amusing, accept that it could be scary if the Right Wing crazies ever gained full control.
Personally, I don't think there is a snow ball's chance in hell that the American people will hand the reigns of power to this intolerant, paranoid, hateful, deluded, misinformed, potentially violent wing of society.
The whole website is a hallmark collection of disinformation that is being used as "Empirical Evidence" used to justify the Right Wing's extreme positions.
It's actually funnier than The Onion. Actually, maybe this is one of The Onion's sources.
Oh, I almost forgot. Just like the Koch Brothers are the key men we blame for the Right Wing, George Soros is their boogeyman as we know.
So I put together a Muckety Map to see what evil George might be up to. Click here for the interactive map seen below.
Let's compare this to the Koch Brothers activities:
Enough said.
