Liberal Belief in Fairy Tales is not Limited to Global Warming
Liberals live in a fantasy bubble where all us conservatives are lowbrow wife beaters or slack-jawed hicks with tobacco juice dribbling down our chins. We're uneducated and superstitious; just look at how many of us go to church! Meanwhile, enlightened liberals constitute America's cognoscenti and intelligentsia.
Well, Michael Graham has written a brilliant article that bursts that irrational bubble.
If you thought the “fire never melted steel” crowd was nuts, check out the new study from the bipartisan Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.He goes on to catalog Obama and Dems talking out of both sides of their mouths: Speechifying about deficit reduction while ballooning the deficit, saying "no more earmarks" while passing bills that contain thousands of them, laughable claims of slashing medicare spending while adding more people to the program...They find that liberals and Democrats are far more likely to believe in ghosts, psychic powers and astrology than their conservative/Republican counterparts.
About 50 percent more Democrats than Republicans say they have spoken to the dead. Or as it’s known at Democratic Party headquarters, “voter outreach.”
He concludes:
Even if their math is right today, who is naive enough to believe this trillion-dollar government program will come in on budget?This would explain why the liberal nannies want to treat us all like children. They think we're all as naive as their liberal democratic constituents.I know people who believe in leprechauns who aren’t that gullible.
The global warming fantasy is actually believed by some who are not so liberal: such is [ or was ] the power of that lie. Global cooling has more data to support it yet one hears little about it in the major news.
I have long believed that most of today’s democrats are people of arrested development.
When you are a child, you have the wonderful ability to “see” possibilities that don’t exist. Or have such a narrow view (wishful thinking?) that you cannot see the crumbling dirt at the cliff’s edge because all you see is the juicy fruit hanging juuuuust a little over the edge.
One of the hardest jobs a parent has is passing on the ability to see the consequences of ones actions.
Sometimes a small foot would stamp and a chin would set when wanting to ignore some of the possibilities, because they weren’t the desired outcome.
A true caring parent might get seemingly harsh when the little foot stomps because truly the most dangerous thing the parent can do is allow little Jenny or Johnny to get away with the tantrum and reinforce willful ignorance.
If Jenny and Johnny aren’t successfully taught to see the real possibilities (the crumbling edge), they will both make wrong choices and tend to believe anything they are told that sounds tempting.
Arrested development = democrats and their constituents.
too bad the article is a little old and has been archived so its not so easy to get to.

God wires us to seek Him with the help of the Holy Spirit. Those who reject Him inevitably seek some other idol in His stead.
“About 50 percent more Democrats than Republicans say they have spoken to the dead. Or as it’s known at Democratic Party headquarters, ‘voter outreach.’”

liberals and Democrats are far more likely to believe in ghosts, psychic powers and astrology,Vodoo,UFO’s,Obama knows what he’s doing and getting stoned is good for the mind and candy is good for the teeth.....
