[AGRP]

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Kennedy

[ClayTrainor]

"You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." - Rahm Emanuel

[tangent4ronpaul]

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."

--Goering at the Nuremberg Trials

[Carson]

A little loose on the topic.


"When people fear the government, you have tyranny. When the government fears the people, you have liberty"
-Thomas Jefferson

[Carson]

Franklin D. Roosevelt: The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself!
Audience member 1: And spiders!
Franklin D. Roosevelt: ...Well yes. And spiders. That goes without saying...
Audience member 2: And snakes!
Franklin D. Roosevelt: Yes... snakes too.
Audience member 3: And dont forget werewolves!
Franklin D. Roosevelt: There is no such thing!
[Everyone starts to argue]
...
[Later]
Franklin D. Roosevelt: Okay! So the only things we have to fear are spiders, snakes, werewolves, sharks, dying alone, zombies, clowns, heights, big dogs, robots with human brains, Johnson's wife, AND fear itself!
-Robot Chicken, 2005

[Carson]

"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Benjamin Franklin

[Carson]

"In politics, what begins in fear usually ends in folly."
---- Coleridge

Fear is the Greatest Tool you can use to Control a Person.

[CaptUSA]

Fear is the foundation of most governments; but it is so sordid and brutal a passion, and renders men in whose breasts it predominates so stupid and miserable, that Americans will not be likely to approve of any political institution which is founded on it. - John Adams (I guess he never envisioned this century...)

The people never give up their liberties, but under some delusion. - Edmund Burke

Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death. - Adolph Hitler

The soft-minded man always fears change. He feels security in the status quo, and he has an almost morbid fear of the new. For him, the greatest pain is the pain of a new idea. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hope these helped...
