One’s answer to this question dictates his world view: Do you believe man is basically good on the inside?

The Left's attitude about "Saddam’s WMD, Shariah law, voter fraud, Obama’s radical anti-colonial mind-set, Benghazi, etc."?

Nothing to see here. Just move along and let us steal your freedom, wealth, families, life, etc.

Every Marxist, no matter what they say, is a would-be murderer underneath the cheap paint job.

>> Conservative fears of nonexistent or overblown boogeymen — Saddam’s WMD, Shariah law, voter fraud, Obama’s radical anti-colonial mind-set, Benghazi, etc.

... whereas liberals fear guns, raysizm, global warming/cooling/whatever, heterosexuals, live births, constitutional freedoms, Christians — and, most of all, conservatives.

Pot kettle black.

but meanwhile our goose is slowly being cooked by global warming,

Except it isn't. There's been no warming for 13-18 years depending on which set of fiddled data you use. RSS satellite data is probably the most accurate and it says no warming for 18 years -so who's the nutcase now professor ?

Yep. Go read Michelle Malkin's Unhinged and it shows how literally insane the Left can be at times.

Suspicion is a natural survival mechanism. Curiosity prevents us from being frozen with fear. A balance of both is what allows true progress without rushing blindly to our destruction.

That’s sick

What then labels to give liberals, who continue to hold on to the same failed policies year after year? Especially in the face of economic and residency trends. How much more proof do these idiots need to show socialism has failed EVERYWHERE it’s been tried? That once-productive public schools, cities, neighborhoods are not just failures, but dangerous places?

Leftists are the deranged amongst us.

Wired differently, eh? If you want to see mass hysteria in Liberals, simply use phrases like “means testing”, “social security cut”, and “work for welfare”.

I do that every weekend, just so other people can observe the result.

It's fun, too.

that conservatives suffer “mass hysteria” and “permanent paranoia", because conservative brains are wired differently

What about libtard environmentalists who have a pathologic fear of economic progress, technological progress, and modern industrial civilization. And white libtards suffer from excessive guilt and bleeding heart pity, because their libtard brains are wired differently
