enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil.


*   "Taking Control - Politics in the Information Age"
*   Authors Morely Winograd & Dudley Buffa, 1996, ISBN 0-8050-4489-2
*
*   From Richard Nixon's law and order campaign in 1968 to George Bush's
*   infamous Willie Horton ad in 1988, Republicans have attempted to define
*   their differences with Democrats by a no-nonsense position on crime and
*   criminals.
*   
*   It helped Republicans win the presidency, and it also gave them the
*   tool by which to control the Democratic majorities in Congress that
*   might allow their opponents to label them as soft on crime.
*   
*   No Democrat, except those in overwhelmingly Democratic districts, could
*   afford to cast any votes in Congress that might allow their opponents
*   to label them soft on crime.

A constant state of law enforcement hysteria.


The absolute pinnacle of War terminology was the phrase "Zero Tolerance".

We will monitor and prosecute mercilessly with mandatory minimums because
letting even one criminal not be caught means you are soft on crime.
Everyone is potentially guilty. We need a Police State to combat crime.

*   USA Today, undated: HOME GARDEN RAIDS: Federal drug agents want to
*   raid indoor home gardens in search of marijuana plants. The DEA has
*   subpoenaed Florida garden centers to turn over records showing who
*   has bought items like fluorescent lamps and plant food. [What???]

*   CBS News, Dan Rather reporting. See this camera on a building at the
*   mall? It's aimed at this lighting store's customers, recording them
*   and the licenses on their cars. Little old lady:
