Republicans, Tea-Party and Conspiracy-Theory nuts are preaching the end of the world as we know it and specifically a Totalitarian Takeover of several American States (Wyoming probably left alone, nobody there), but lets look into what is making they who preach doom so scared:
1. Your common-day John Boehner Republicans are essentially recovering from the first Occupy Movement; they are completely lost and terribly incapable of responding to sudden social change.
2. Tea Party People; Gun Owners who are confused and scary.
3. Conspiracy Theory Nuts; these guys believe 9/11 was a false flag attack.
