Interestingly, the homogenous countries mentioned have a lower rate of poverty, by far. Maybe that has to do with their lower rate of crime. At least violent crime. Now corporate crime.....
Anyways, "fear-mongering" most certainly NOT the sole bastion of Republicans. It is used widely by people of all persuasions. C'mon Sob, you know that.
EX: Global warming is going to get us!!
And besides, a lot of fear-mongering is apolitical - it's just there for entertainment value. Like: Shark attack!! Beaches closed for the summer!!
It reminds me of that Simpsons episode where a bear wanders into Springfield and everyone panics and freaks out. The town then proceed to enact a series of ridiculous laws and set up a "Bear Patrol" that consists of a B-2 stealth bomber. Hilarity ensues...
