Wrong question.
The question is, how far has the creation of ISIS been able to herd the sheople (mainly through fear) so that FUTURE laws, that erode our freedoms, are perceived as acceptable?

quote:
ISIS isn't nearly the danger to our freedoms as Lena Dunham and the rape-culture crowd that want to throw every man on the sex-offender registry if he so much as looks at a woman. Social change and laws are being wrought all the time by those loonies, and they are OVER HERE. Then there are the tree hugging wack jobs who are pushing actively for laws to be written that outlaw coal, oil, and nuclear power so that I have to pay 10 times what I do now for energy, because I have to be forced into poverty to save the planet. No, THOSE are the boogeymen. THOSE are the terror groups that are conspiring to end our way of life as we know it and oppress us. THEY are the knife in the dark, the tyrants among us. They are already inside, they are teaching your children to be just like them, they are infesting the schools, the colleges, the media. They print your paper, they write your movie script, they teach your child that men are evil and that there is no injustice too great that can be put upon you to further their cause.

They have a religion, and their high priests are damning you for not conforming, their sacrament is wealth redistribution on their order, their holy book is Silent Spring, their saints demand your freedoms taken because they don't create a 'safe space', their redemption is to see the United States taught a lesson and brought low, because then they as Americans can finally feel salvation and atonement.

They, are the boogeymen. ISIS is a sideshow.

ISIS is no different than the boogeymen you describe. All are used to herd the sheople for control, profit and power.

These boogeymen you describe wouldn't have the capability to influence a gnat without the full support and backing of those huge and powerful entities that profit from it, which I call (for a lack of a better term) the elite.

They know that as long as they keep us in a state of fear and dependence, while dividing us to keep us fighting amongst ourselves rather than banning together to form a power of our own, they will continue to prosper unabated.
