It is envy that makes a Communist, Nazi, or Moslem Terrorist. It is the fear of being envied that makes a liberal. Liberalism is not a political philosophy or coherent set of beliefs. It is a psychological strategy to avoid being envied. --Jack Wheeler

Is an oxymoron. There is no such thing?
Really have no clue what you are talking about do you, being a liberal is a strong set of believes and a political philosophy. What would you call being a conservitive, a bull headed un-educated redneck? that fits right into my description of it!
Jack Wheeler must be an idiot.
And he is not related to me. I hope.
ping cause it's a goodie.
Must have hit a nerve....huh? PSYCH TROLL!!!!
Forgot to take your medication today, Bill?
Well......
Welcome to FR
&
Good Bye
Thanks for posting that.
I see that you are not long for this forum, either.
Must be a troll day, eh?
sum of us conservitives aint had no edjikashin, and dont no what are believes are,,, plees be gentil.
Well, Merry Christmas!
Does your gracing us with your input mean you want to give the lie to those demeaners who insist we always ban liberals?
Whatever, thanks for the grins.
FResh roast beast for Christmas!
sorry Bill, I'm new here, I was aiming that at liberalvermonter.
You're still here sweet cheeks, enlighten us.
Exactly what are you referring to, Hiram?
WTF?!
Is "Liberal" Vermonter related to "Straight" Vermonter?
Does he-by any chance-happen to know "Vermonter?"
'Cause if he does, can you ask him to tell V. that I want my maple syrup back.
Like, NOW!
-good times, G.J.P.(Jr.)

YAWN.
That's not even worth a zot, it's so stupid.
Ive found a liberal has a strong set of beliefs for EVERYONE ELSE!... the difference between a conservative and a liberal is...a conservative bases his politics on his morals....a liberal bases his morals on his politics...Hence to them..the end justifies the means...EXCEPT when it applies to only them...Hell thats part of their feel good policy...they want other people to fund what they believe in...they cant do it themselves...their convictions are too weak..but if someone else funds it...they feel great!

whoosh, bye bye
Wow! Tagline material!
Heheh. I did the same thing when I was first here. Welcome to FR.
It's Christmas, be generous.
RaceBannon,Agree.
I wish I could have given you a dictionary or a kitten...but oh well, maybe next year!
Here's how I would have said it if I were Christmas trolling:
You Really have no clue what you are talking about do you,? bBeing a liberal is a noble tradition encompasing a strong set of believes beliefs, and a political philosophy based on humanitarian ideals (or some-such BS.). What would you call being a conservitiveconservative,? aA bull headed un-educated redneck? thatThat fits right into my description of it!
Now, lets talk about Jack Wheeler. He paints with a broad brush. Mostly black and white. His bio says he's done everything and knows it all too. It always interesting to read what he has to say, but it's usually a hook to get you to subscribe to his information service. That is not a reason to dismiss his theories, but should remind us all that he has an ulterior motive to his public postings. Simplistic explanations of complex phenomena are attractive and can lead to new understanding but IMHO are not useful in dealing with the problems in this real world. What if I declared that all conflict between cultures can be explained by sexual envy or competition for breeding females? We could discuss that and have some fun with it. But how does that help us find and kill terrorists? We really don't need sweeping theories of why we are here, especially if they are tied to manifestations of deep psychologial traumas. The pressing issue is how to kill the enemy before they kill more of us. The coffee house debates on the nuances of the human condition can wait until we are safe once again.
*welcome* to FR?
Short time to spend here huh?
That explains a lot that formerly puzzled me. Thanks.
This article makes a lot of sense and should be read by all good freepers
Hmmm, the Clintonian M.O. seems to fit here as well. Let's just add Hillary Rodham to this little list, shall we?
The whole article is a good read. It was written just a few months after 9/11 and puts an interesting perspective on why liberals feel guilty and hate America to avoid the "evil eye" of envy.
You forgot to add the need to steal horses also. Had to have a way to get around. Maybe that is why people steal cars? Part of a deep seated trait handed down from our ancestors, stealing women and horses. All right. / kidding here.
LOL I could'nt eat another bite at this point. Live troll tastes better anyway.
Jack Wheeler is a genius for his research into the human problem of ENVY. Years ago I read a book by the simple titled, ENVY, which was written by a man whose name I cannot remember but the lessons in that book, written around the time of WWII have stuck with me. He traced the problem and its consequences all the way from the days of the cave man. Anyone who has had an incredible beautiful or gifted child knows well what that child goes through because of envy and most people who have grown up in poverty and who have succeed in life in some significant way always suffer at the hands of the envious, the worse ones often being the person's own family members. This article is brilliant and should be taken seriously because ENVY could be the most destructive emotion to society as a whole, which, turned loose and tolerated, would even destroy society. It has in the past..Others nations who hate America envy America, plain and simple. Those who envy always come up with a cause..Never mind that it is a lie..They are appeasing their envy and the worse kind is when they are willing to give up even their very lives to see that you are deprived of whatever they envy you for. The problem of ENVY should be discussed and studied far and wide because it is a powerful and negative force against the good.
And they attempt to achieve their goals through the stirring up of natural ENVY.."The rich are rich because they have taken what you should have..The intelligent children should not be recognized in school because it makes those less intelligent feel bad..Christians are envied because they have the motivation to practice good morality..Those with the energy toward the work ethic or toward achievement must not be recognized or rewarded for real accomplishment." I have observed ENVY up close and I have noticed that those who envy will often try to lay claim to the attributes of the envied without any record to back it up while they refuse to recognize the real thing. They try to use government to steal the ideas and the property of others which came through the hard work, risk taking and sacrifice of those others. This is a part of the face of envy. One of the blatant examples of this I believe, is the use of the legal system to rob professionals and individuals who achieve far above the average in an effort to appease the envious and to punish the envied.
I would suggest that, instead of attacking Mr. Wheeler, you begin to think about and research the problem of ENVY..I would suggest that you go to Amazon and try to find a book simply called, ENVY, which is textbook-like in it's presentation because the author was very thorough in his research. It is and has always been one of the major motivations for war and dissention of any kind. Problems like sexual aggression or criminal behavior are obvious..The problems of envy are very covert and are often buried beneath the political rhetoric of the left.
You have your work cut out for you..
Horrible title, great article, thanks. (Should have stuck with the stuck with the original title.)
Bye, LiberalVermonter!He's dead, Jim!
Envy on an individual level is capable of much diffuse harm, but envy made general and channeled into a political movement can place a nation on the path to self-destruction.

Agree with what? What amI doing here?
Why am I here?
Where am I going?
Zot me back to reality!
The article's real title is: The Secret to the Suicidal Liberal Mind. Why didn't you use it?
Jack Wheeler is still an idiot, and this line of his proves it:
"It is the fear of being envied that makes a liberal."
Suuure. The Clintons, Kennedys, Gore, Jesse Jackson, Kerry, Daschole, Dan Rather, Michael Moore, Streisand, et al, all fear being envied. Riiiight. They are pompous, egotistical, narcissistic, megalomaniacs who love nothing better than being envied.
Let me say it AGAIN, Jack Wheeler is a lib sympathizer and a moron.
You got banned for engaging personal invective. Don't take it personally.
Why is it that liberals are seemingly incapable of engaging those who, for whatever reason, do not share their "strong set of set of believes" (sic), without resorting to name-calling and moral posturing? If you meant your post to be taken at face value (I'll give you credit for being intelligent enough not delude yourself into thinking it would be taken seriously) you could hardly have produced a better example confirming the author's thesis.
If OTOH, you meant your post to be taken ironically, irony is powerful spice and must be used judiciously. Your post is the equivalent of trying to make Bombay Chicken by adding a half pound of McCormick's Curry Powder to Cambell's Chunky Chicken soup. It's a waste of curry, soup and bandwidth.
Liberalism, it's easier than thinking!
I see you got your mechanical problem taken care of...see there is power in prayer.......I am happy for you...
