Is this being the same as snotty?

All you ever wanted to know about liberal's condescending ways.

[RC2]

Because they are Progressives. People have to understand that under Socialism or Progressives, the only ones with the power are the ones at the top of the ladder. Everyone else just does their bidding for them and if they disagree with the top officials, they will be eleminated. Just look at Pelosi. Disagree with her and you are pushed out. She is a perfect example of a Progressive......other than Hillary.

[TADSLOS]

Condescension is the tool liberals use to mask their inability to make logical arguments out of their beliefs.

[DGHoodini]

Because they are lied to from birth. told that they are “special”, “unique”, and are smarter than ev everyone else, without any evidence, or a shred of fact supporting the assertions. They grow up being told they are entitled. No matter what their limitations, they are owed, by Life to be better than everybody that disagrees with them, or achieves where they have failed.

So, they think that their mediocre intelligence and meagre grasp of a skill set that they manage to learn the “code word speak” of, Entitles them to look down on everyone else, and tell them what to do, even though these same closed minded predjudiced, bigoted minded morons don’t even bother to curorily study any issue they chose to expound upon as an expert..case in point: Joy Behar and Whoopie Goldberg.

[Vaduz]

Idiot with a ego problem tend to be liberal and condescending note Obama and his friends.

[J Edgar]

I think Anne Coulter nailed it, when she pointed out that liberalism springs from a psychological foundation of having a godlike vision for solving all of society’s ills.

Question: "Why are liberals so condescending?"

Answer: It has worked to date.

Comment: As a technique it may be losing its efficacy.

[SoldierDad]

Um, all those pictures of Obozo with his nose in the air should be a clue here!!!!!

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

They are condescending because they are insecure about themselves.

“Why are liberals so condescending?”

As in a previous comment “To the headline” I respond that everything that is a Liberal is the opposite.

As “intellectuals” they are NOT.

As “progressives” they are NOT.

As “tolerant” they are NOT, and the list goes on.

Arrogant because they ARE ignorant, NOT progressive, and NOT tolerant, and NOT a lot more, therefore condescension is their facade, their cover for their gross inadequacies.

That is my opinion in 80 words or less.

[Anti-Bubba182]

It is an effective technique to insult the conservative enemy and keep their own people in line.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

George Lakoff, a linguist at the University of California at Berkeley and a consultant to Democratic candidates, says flatly that liberals, unlike conservatives, "still believe in Enlightenment reason," while Drew Westen, an Emory University psychologist and Democratic consultant, argues that the GOP has done a better job of mastering the emotional side of campaigns because Democrats, alas, are just too intellectual. "They like to read and think," Westen wrote. "They thrive on policy debates, arguments, statistics, and getting the facts right."

That is some high-quality fertilizer right there. Along with condescension, liberals appaently are masters of projection as well.

[wardaddy]

Because they think they are better because they are kinder...in their minds.

It’s really such a base satisfaction and with God now way down the priority list this the new soul.

Feeling one is nice or altruistic.

It fuels everything except that which requires true responsibility.

[Arrowhead1952]

Why are liberals so condescending?

I hate trick questions on Friday. They just ARE condescending.

[HighlyOpinionated]

Then-Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, later chairman of the Democratic National Committee, echoed that theme in his 2004 presidential run, when he said Republicans had succeeded in getting Southern whites to focus on "guns, God and gays" instead of economic redistribution. [Emphasis Mine.

And there you go. Second Amendment, First Amendment and some kind of "civil" rights, instead of COMMUNISIM.

And the problem is ? ? ? LIBERALS not living up to their own moral code.

Saul's Rule 4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”

Given that Statists seemingly have no moral code, this would appear to be a good tactic for them. But in reality, they do have ‘rules’ – rules they want everyone else to live by, but not themselves – Statist’s are nothing if not hypocrites.

Therefore, we Conservatives should insist that the Statists ‘lead by example’ – live by their own set of stupid rules and admonitions.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Because it’s an act. They pretend to be all-knowing, “tolerant,” non-racist, “caring”

But the reality is they are just the opposite and being “liberal” is a defense mechanism to cover up who they really are.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

Why are liberals so condescending?

It's like being proud of a 2" . . .

[FrankR]

Most of the "condescending" and "arrogant" people I have met in my 64 years have been those who really harbor deep-seated inferiorities. The aloofness and arrogance is their mechanism for hiding those things.

People who have been fed a steady diet of "it's someone else's fault" all their lives, live with anger and a big chip on their shoulders for their perceived "enemies".

It is also present in those who were overly priviledged - or "spoiled", for lack of a better word. These folks are so used to being lavished with attention and someone giving their all to prevent an accidental loss of self-esteem in the little darlings, that they grow up and expect everyone else to coddle them like mommy and daddy did. They're some of the worst.

A lot of the elites are just "wannabes" who don't "wannabe" bad enough to work for it; they depend on the government and others to pave their way through life, pass them when they fail, and sooth them when they're sad...again, immature children.

When governments started the meddling with the disciplining of children, and made single parenting 'profitable' and easy, there are many who took/take the easy road...so I give you, the democrat party.

[Hoffer Rand]

When your entire ideology is based on the premise that the vast majority of people are incapable of taking care of themselves or of even thinking for themselves, but need the government to do that for them, it just follows that you will not treat those people as equals, especially when you identify yourself with those you have made their caretakers.
