Paranoia: A personality disorder characterized by delusions of persecution and self importance. Or an abnormal tendency to suspect mistrust others. Thats the definition of paranoia by my Oxford American dictionary of Current English. That is also a wonderful description of FOX news and their constant drum of fear. Recently they have added the fear of persecution of Easter and call it the War on Easter. They have created a war on Christmas, Christians and Thanksgiving but have added a new fear on this Easter holiday. A war on Easter.. First off, its based or stolen from the pagan Ishtar the fertility God worshiped by Babylonians and Sumerians, far more than Christ. Eggs are fertility symbols, and the season is of rebirth or renewal of the nature around us, was the original meaning and Ishtar is Easter in its original pronunciation. Second there is no war on that holiday by anyone anywhere. Every time we come up with a fact of origin the Evangelicals freak and says we are distorting the holiday. But the facts are clear, we are positive its from Ishtar, not a perhaps or maybe but definite, so if its true how can the right scream lies when its fact? Third no one is attacking the Easter bunny or Jesus we just repeat archeological discoveries and known facts that Christian holidays and even myths were often older than the Christians. That fact should not scare the religious, ah but it does, esp the Fundamentalist types and the FOX fear mongers jump on that like a trampoline for children. They bounce that fear at us all day long 24\7.. They play on false fears like a child plays with toys and the fearful superstitious types run and repeat this lie of paranoia. They huddle in fear and clutch guns and wait for the Apocalypse to come, or liberals to steal their religion or government to take their guns. All from false catastrophes created to produce fear by FOX and other right wing fear mongers. We all suffer from the false fears and it divides a nation like a separation of canyon of lies. There is no war on Christmas, Christians. or Easter... Just more manufactured fear from FOX
