What are conservatives REALLY the most afraid of?

[mirrera]

1. losing...n/t

[Bandit]

2. Pretty much everything, They seem to be just plain cowards on everything

They live in constant fear..that is why they arm themselves to the teeth and want an authoritative government to protect them..

[SpiralHawk]

3. And that's why they meekly follow and suck up the bleatings of CHICKENHAWKS

Like Commander AWOL Bush, VP Dickie 'Five Military Deferments' Cheney, Rush 'Ass Pimple Deferment' Limbaugh, Sean 'Gucci Loafers Exemption' Hannity, Bill "Draft Dodger' O"Reilly, and Glenn "Wimp out Deferment' Beck.

All bona fide republicon chickenhawks -- and the leadership & the 'elite' overpaid propaganda corps for the republicons.

These are the republicon heroes.

9. Bang on.

n/t

[rucky]

4. The realization that they're the same as everybody else.

I picked #2

[Citizen Number 9]

6. That's pretty good.

Remarkably accurate and concise description of a complex situation.

I picked #3, but the underlying rationale seems to be the same.

5. Other: The implementation of the Fairness Doctrine.

They are addicted to the hate and lies spewed out by the RW Radio Hatemongers.

7. Losing power. Most of them are powermongers.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Now they are in danger of their corruption being exposed.

8. Other: everything that they are told to be afraid of is what they are most afraid of.

Yoda (a freaking Muppet with Frank Oz's hand up his butt) said :“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

Damned if that muppet wasn't right.

10. Other

Any idea that doesn't mesh with their narrow world view.

[surrealAmerican]

11. Other.

They're afraid of a "level playing field", because if we had one, they would be seen as the inferior people that they are.

[KG]

12. freedom.

[gratuitous]

13. What they're most afraid of

Is that they will be treated by those in power in the same manner as they treated others when they were in power. And they know first hand what low-life scumbag motherfuckers they themselves are; they expect to be on the receiving end of the same abuse they so gladly doled out.
