It makes them feel safe, knowing that Big Brother Police State is busy beating down on "those" people -- you know, those people that make them feel uncomfortable, people who are dusky, people who advocate too stridently, people who are, well, NOT LIKE THEM. <br /><br />It's the same reason Saddam stayed in charge in Iraq. Yeah, he was a brutal dictator... but <i>he kept the streets safe</i>. As it turns out, the people of Iraq had plenty of guns and ammunition to overthrow Saddam if they'd so desired... but the majority of Iraqis <i>wanted</i> Saddam.<br /><br />And if Saddam had been an American President rather than Iraqi... the majority of <i>Americans</i> would have wanted him too. WASF, yeah... but WASF because the majority of Americans are, to put it bluntly, <i>fucking idiots who don't give a shit about democracy and freedom other than to give them occasional lip service</i>.

The rethugs sure aren't interested in fixing it.
