Van Jones appointment riles anti-Obamas : Internment Psychology

"Inspired men are dangerous." ~  David Hume,  British empiricist 

The appointment by President Obama of former "radical"  Van Jones as head of Green Jobs ,  although not new as news,  has continued to rile up those in the American blogospheric community who believe Obama's agenda is the destruction of "their"  America.  In truth,  those whom Obama appoints are figure heads with little or no power to design radical agendas which they believed in decades ago when it was considered mainstream to do so.  There is much talk of the "Czars"  that Obama "heads",  and talk of Internment Camps as the true goal,  the final plan for which all is preparation and groundwork,  and this last gives a clue to the psychology of those who insist on this version of an Obama Administration.  But first,  on Van Jones,  from PoliGazette:

Taken to the next level,  there is insistence that the radical goal of the President is to round up dissenters and put them to work in internment camps.   The psychology is clear,  once the veneer of the talk is penetrated:

Liberalism is the belief that ideas can be spread through moral suasion:  Through empirical study, facts,  and reasonable discourse,   human progress may flourish.  The idea that we may share power with the enemy,  even a weaker enemy;  that the founding fathers do not have the last word on our current political and cultural climate,  that they would not want the last word if it were offered to them;  that progression is natural to human chronology and may be arrived at factually,  reasonably,  with open discourse  dispassionate and measured,  not given to grandiose ideas nor spoken in tones of hysterical shrillness.  This is liberalism's  biggest mistake,  and its greatest miscalculation and psychological misunderstanding  with the growing radical right:  To listen to reasons runs counter to the latter's  deepest instincts and needs. 

 Were Obama to offer proof that he is American-born,  for instance,  the Birthers would be even more convinced that he was lying.   Hidden agendas,  the myth of internment ,  covert racist propaganda:  With these counter-claims  the radical right pursuades through  irrational means;  to dupe is  its agenda and its sole  modus operendum.    It is they and they alone who  cannot rid themselves of  Nazi images;  they who keep dredging up  memories of a by-gone era,  in the hopes of gaining entrance into the dark, moist recesses of the inner psyche.  The pscyche, in times of stress ,  serves  as a womb for racist and mistrustful embryonic concepts of hatred which, thus  implanted,  give rise to phantasms of Obama as Other, Usurper and Swindler,   to be feared,  and deeply suspected .  Just listen to them speak about the Founding Fathers,  about Second Ammendment rights and the "Republic",  and one can see the debate can go nowhere :  These are decoys behind which a lust and hatred for Obama stands indicted by its very short-circuiting of any calm and reasonable discourse.   Were they serious in their longing for a "return to the will of the founding fathers",  this would be clear by a reasonable and quiet confidence,  devoid of propagandic tactics and ghoulish imagery hoisted upon a 21st century public.  

Who can doubt any longer that the constant references to Hitler,  communism,  crematoriums and internement camps reveal a fetish, which is theirs alone?  "Inspired men are dangerous,  and we ought limit our public discourse to the empirical , solid and real,  leaving passion behind."  Thus did the British empiricist David Hume understand that the hysteria of minds gripped by sensuous imagery and the dank, barbaric scenes of history would prove incapable of evolving:  Of inheriting and surpassing the precepts which the founding fathers left us as footprints, as ciphers and signs on the road ahead.
