They are haters. Haters gotta hate.

Just remember that they are haters.

Don’t forget their other scientific truthiness: a fetus is not a living, breathing human being and a man who thinks he’s a woman...is a real woman.

Folk devils? Is the lib author at salon putting down Indigenous Pipples, the group that will finally (after the defection of the brain-dead beef jerky chewing working classes) lead humanity to Utopia?

Leftists have been using the “you’re crazy is you’re not a leftist” trope for one hundred years. The ex-Soviet Union threw people in psychiatric hospitals if they objected to commie principles. Modern leftists are no different. Like the stooge prof. at the university.

Caesare Lombroso would be proud of these fools.

As Herman Cain’s grandfather might say, “I’ll show ya mass hysteria!”

Do you believe man is basically good on the inside?

Nope. He's gooey and stinky, and full of blood and guts on the inside.

This article reminded me of something I experienced once.

I was at the Fort Worth Convention Center being a participant of the State of Texas Republican Party convention. I saw a reporter from the Dallas Morning News and I approached him and introduced myself. I can't remember his name but he was a good reporter known for being very fair in his articles.

During our conversation I asked him if he had attended the Democratic convention at the same venue two weeks previous, he said yes. I asked him what that was like and he said:

"Do you see all of these people here? (referring to all the Republicans walking around) Well, these look like regular folks you see when you go to the bank, or the grocery store or anywhere. That bunch that showed up two weeks ago look nothing like these people. Every weirdo made it to that event."

So, as much as the progressive-left tries to paint us as the weird ones it is not true. And they know it.

That last one really takes the cake, because it abandons the pretense that there is such a thing as objective reality, at all. In is out, up is down, before is next to ... whatever you say. (This is what happens when I speak Spanish ...)

I never use the word Progressive.

That is their language.

I use the truth, leftist.

I meant to place the word in quotes...but fouled er up

I usually place the word “liberal” in quotes as well as the word “progressive”

This is the kind of pseudo science that the Nazis used to justify their policies in 1930’s Germany.

"Folk Devils".

Windigo comes to mind, an American Indian legend from several tribes, in slightly different forms.

Hibbing is a political scientist at the University of Nebraska

Political Science is like the short-bus of the Sciences.
