How Do They Get That Way?
Have you ever asked yourself why liberals are so wrong minded, even when their beliefs are proven to be irrational and their philosophy demonstrably faulty?I have come to believe that it is built on self-hatred.Perhaps it was instilled in them by their parents, or by the many other soul-crushing events that can happen to a child as they grow into adulthood. some of you will understand because you have gone through it and have had the strength to overcome it and are quite pleased with yourselves.My Granddaughter recommended the poetry of W.H. Auden so, being a poetry lover I picked up a book of his poems.Now, you should understand she graduated from a state college, well known for its liberal attitude as most of them are.I didn't expect much elucidation from this famous ode-maker.I came across a poem called "In Praise Of Limestone"."I 'm a long way from being a shrink, but it brought back all the shrinkish stuff foisted on me during a great tragedy in my life. I've overcome being in a liberal family, in a liberal neighborhood, among liberal relatives which I managed to overcome as I struggled for rationality.Let me quote the part of the poem that got me started on this diatribe.
"I am the solitude that asks and promises nothing;That is how I shall set you free. There is no love;
There are only various envies, all of them sad."
The terrible lonliness of being with yourself.Boo-hoo. It is during the emotional 'teen years where this is particularly foisted onto persons, when they are flooded with hormones, and unidentified feelings. It's no wonder they are attracted to philosophies of emotion , where concern for their fellow man overrides concern for themselves. I have no degree in shrinkology, so you might say I'm merely prattling so much garbage. Maybe so, but that poem excerpt is typical of the left, justifying almost anything because it demands sacrifice, and the people have been conditioned to self-hatred. That's why such poetry is typical of the left. You won't find heroes in their literature, or positive aspirations in their fiction, That's why I don't read any "serious" books of fiction. Only thrillers, Where I can identify with the good guys and hate the bad guys.

Having a group right requires...?
The guy makes everyone of my points written in my book.
Is two individuals enough to form a "Band Wagon?"
Those who can't, seek equality
Those who can, have results
Those who can't, have excuses
One must also remember, this guilt comes from a Super Ego, (imitation conscience) because they have yet to accept a proper "I".
They may very well be stuck forever as a brain in a body only; incomplete, only 2 parts of a 3 part equation.
NO! After 66 years of living and watching the socialists work their destructive plans it is no wonder we are in the shape we are in. As much as I do appreciate what Trump is attempting to do he is fighting a loosing battle even within his own party and those who are against him will be reelected anyway.
I have been friends with a few different liberals. Certainly...I always see a breakdown in logic. I always see deep emotion, too. Most of the time, there is a fixation on race.
I saw the announcement yesterday by Bernie Sanders that he's running again(?) I really, really can't stand Bernie because he's an open Socialist. Socialism results in things like the Killing Fields, Auschwitz, etc. But, I know a very intelligent wife and mother friend who swears by Bernie. When I pointed out to her the atrocities that Bernie's policies have historically resulted in she just gives me a blank stare. How do you give a blank stare to that? Something's missing... I know, in her case, that she was raised by a liberal lesbian.
Take the fact that, it makes little sense stealing from all the smartest and most productive members of society so none of the children of the world will go hungry for the day.
Most leftists would resentfully disagree, many labeling anyone who thought this way a beast or even a Nazi.
When they have a losing argument, based on weak reason, evidence and logic, they appeal to emotion.
It is a very effective strategy.
