FADING FEARS FREE HIDDEN HATE

With the post-911 jitters abating, fading also is the Islamo-phobic consternation that prompted many to ask, “Why do they hate us?” Thus relieved of the pressure of having to guard against lethal, external hate directed against THEM, some have now returned to the hallowed habit of expressing their age-old, internal hate against a segment of our population that never has constituted a physical threat to the rest of the populace.

The nooses hanging from the branches of the whites-only tree in Jena, Louisiana have prompted, in other parts of the country, a cottage industry in similar sentimental scenes of Old Dixie-dabbling on the dark side.

Is the only protection against these braggadocious bigots a constant air of Arab-induced apoplexy? If so, then, Homeland Security had better again fire up its rainbow of fear-focused color codes.
