OpEd:Watching the You Tube on HR 1388 first perplexes, then the psychology,  and its importance,  sinks in. 

Putting a  fascist spin on Obama's plan for Youth Corps and the passage of the bill,  HR 1388,  bespeaks a mysterious paranoia,  to my own thinking.   I assume the truth is being distorted,  misperceived,  misrepresented.  The psychology of this seems clear:  Obama is mulit-racial,  multi-national,  Democrat,  liberal,  progressive,  pragmatic:  In short,  all that seems conducive to bringing in the dreaded "One World Order". 
 But Christopher Lasch,  noted social scientist,  once made this astute observation about social paranoia:  "These [theorists] project onto some future scenario,  aspects of social life which are already deeply rooted,  and in our daily midst."   And his observation comes back to serve as a touchstone now. 

 Lasch is saying, in other words,  that which  they fear  and project,  in Nazi symbolism,  onto Obama,  is pretty much a done deal,  and has been since the 1970s:  Multiculturalism;  rampant pluralism;  a unifed Europe leading the world;  global corporate control;  global banking;  the mistrust and supsicion of organized religion,  and a zealous agenda to change and ease up its dogma;  a stretching of the boundaries and definitions of the old order;  a blurring of the lines of nationalism,  partisanship;  a global and cosmopolitan savvy pervades and directs all.  Wars in far-flung places,  having less to do with the American Republic and more do do with shadowy pharmaceutical and oil conglamerates;  the loss of small towns and local high schools,  replaced with mega-regional monstrosities.  So much for the quiet and graceful America of the Republic, and the Jeffersonian dream of a nation of gentleman farmers.  The Civil War steered us onto the mega-highway a long time ago.   As Christopher Lasch said: " Why do you look to a future hour, and a distant  scenario,  for that which overtook you long ago?  "
The resolution to all of these ills will be   -  has in part,  already been  -  regional, local,  independent, on the state and county and municipal levels.  It is a very complex sufbject which goes beyond the scope and purview of this editorial piece.  Something to grapple with at a later date. . . But for now,  suffice to say that more and more people are wanting a return to the small,  the select,  the individual:  The regional and  national are preferred over the global;  the individual over the mass;  the classical and essential over the new-fangled and provisional.
