An excellent article, however, I feel it only addresses the lunacy of the "rank and file" little leftie. The agenda of the "leadership is, I believe, quite different. Should the awful day arrive that the left accomplishes what it THINKS it wants, I firmly believe the "leadership" will show them all that they are, indeed, no different in their eyes than the rest of us. This final truth might just drive the bunch of them over the edge.

Well at least he didn't try too hard to dress this opinion piece up as pseudo-science.

My gosh- This really should be a wake-up call to all those who love their freedom and individuality to fight the good fight against lunacy- there are some corrections I'd make on his article though- like hte fact that liberals think the only ones victimzed are the ones ifghting back using terrorism as their vehicle of war.- the ones that they murder, in the minds of liberals, 'had it comming' to put it bluntly- they won't come right out and say this- but that IS what they beleive- a quick look at Jimmy Jihad Carter's statements will make this all too sickeningly clear! http://sacredscoop.com

And now we understand the liberals' passion to undermine their own country: A strong, militarily capable America is all that stands between them and their envisioned worldwide, peaceful utopeia.

Political madness on the Left vs. political cowardice in the White House.

wonder what he can cover in the rest of his book since he seems to capture the entire problem in his opening.

First and foremost; Liberals believe everybody is born good, and conservatives believe everybody is born selfish.

So rank and file liberals are panic stricken. They believe everybody else is good just like them...but...they themselves live lives with few standards of moral behaviour, they are cheats, law breakers, drug users, hedonists, and thiefs. But they rationalize it. They only act that way because "someone", the big "they" have it out for them and have treated them unfairly so they thus reacte negatively.

They would be "good" if only thy weren't abused, so to speak, by "them".

But they would like to live in a "good" world and believe everybody can be good, it is inside them. (that idea is their "supreme" moral value, it forms the basis, a tenet of faith for their liberal religion) People then only behave badly because of negative external forces.

All liberals justify their personal immorality by blaming it on someone else, therefore if the world is a bad place it is a mystical "somebody else" that is causing the conditions that create such down and out, bad luck, behaviour.

Liberal solution? Find out who "they" are that are causing everybody to behave badly. (They must be very large and powerful since the world is so screwed up). Then organize an opposing power that will attack and somehow destroy or at least hold in check those large powers that are causing so much harm. (but they must select an appropriate enemy)

You know who they have found as the enemies (conservatives mostly). Anybody who believes in rugged individualism, and believes that people are inherently selfish and therefore to counter it they must submit themselves to a higher power and commit themselves to living to a higher standard of morals and consciously discipline themselves to live lives to the standards given by God. This way they overcome their personal failures. They do it by themselves, not by demanding, and waiting, for someone else to give it to them.

If you are selfish, and don't know it,(liberal) you can never ever solve your problem yourself (because you think you are really good inside already). You will blame someone else (naturally) and then get aggressive when things get worse.

If you are selfish and know it you will work to overcome that selfishness. Hence voluntary charity coming much more from Christians (who believe they are born selfish) than liberals. They work to overcome it themselves.

This then is the psychology of a vast stratum of the world population. It exists because it has been taught to them by their masters who require them to think this way in order that they may be subordinated. It is a Hegelian power technique adopted by Karl Marx, and most every other succesful dictator.

The liberal leaders promote a utopian idealism (releasing the "goodness" in everyone by stopping the evil forces) Their program constrains the individual achievers (who are happier, thus they must be opperssors) and proclaim it is they who are creating the environment that causes the other good liberals to be bad (poverty, pollution, bad politics, big corporations, the police...)

Since rugged individuals would fight against socialism then it is only natural that the liberal leaders identify them as the reason for their individual problems.

Also if all liberal minions discovered the secret to the conservatives happiness then the leaders would lose their power base.

Thus the conservative must be "demonized" as well and made to look stupid and unattractive so that the rank and file (rack and pinion) liberal would never consider adopting their idealogies.



So the successful individual must be attacked, and visciously so. (these individuals tend to be Christians and ones who have used their skills to build big corporations or reap real wealth...etc. A corporation is just an organized efficient group of individuals who are all productive and not whiner liberals)

How can rugged individuals be so successful? Don't they need others to help them achieve? (yes) Does tht mean they force others to give them more wealth? (the liberals say "yes", the truth is obviously "not" because liberals are deliberately kept ignorant of the way money is "created" by production. Libwerals are taught it is a zero sum game and there is only so much wealth to be shared.)

Rugged Individuals are successful because they do not define their goodness on what other people think of them. They do not define their morals by what other men tell them. Their moral beliefs comne from God, the one power that is supreme in authority to all States and insitutions created by liberals.

Liberals cannot succeed when rugged individuals do not require or submit to their authority.

Liberals believe an individual must work for the good of the whole. A rugged individual believes he must work for his own good and the greater glory of God.

A nation of uncompromising Christians will destroy liberalism, and everybody in that nation will be better off in every way possible.

A nation of liberals has no standards and the selfish perversions of the rulers (who are believed to be good like themselves) will destroy the society.

This is why liberals can think Clinton is good. They believe he is just like them, "good" (not)

The liberal mindset is about being liberated from all of life's nastiness and unpleasantness: like winning the lottery because you hate your job or school. It's the unencumbered life from which you never grow up, never develop and never learn from anything harsh. Life is the rude teacher and the liberal would rather stay at home and play video games of reality than actually learn from it.

Some people maybe born for this carefree life because they are essentially weak, whereas others acquire a taste for it out of youthful idealism. Regardless, it doesn't profit anyone in the end when life -- the teacher -- throws them a big surprise test.

Pretty good stuff.. however it also paints many so-called "conservatives" also.. Since (SSA) Social Security is pure socialism and most all conservatives would gouge their eyes out before eliminating the SSA.. Degrees of liberalism is not gone into very much, here.. His detailed list of liberalism bridges to conservatism too..

This makes any non liberal a radical.. ->> like me..
The United States needs RADICAL change not conservative change..
You know like what was proposed in the Contract with America 1992/4..

The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness

The root psychological force that drives leftism can be summed in one word: envy. It is an evil state of mind and the source much misery in the world. The leftist leaders are driven by vanity, another evil state of mind that is closely paired with envy. Followers are driven by simple envy, inflamed by the leaders.

Women very generally are more vain and envious than men, which is why leftist voters are more often women.
