Liberals are humor impaired for a very simple reason: It’s hard to be upbeat when you are a whining victim.

Like medieval Christians who wore hair shirts

They didn't force anyone else to wear a hair shirt: hair shirts were private penance. These days, the Libs will force you to wear a metaphorical hair shirt 'for the children','for the planet' and for 'social justice'.

I told a great story to my kids about tyranny. The story of a restaurant that slowly closed due to liberal laws involving limited hours to sell alcohol, no smoking, trans fats, salt and then ice cream. All but the ice cream part is true in NY.

I remain convinced that at some point in a liberal’s life a switch is thrown that results in several phenomena:

1) They fall prey to one, some or all of the seven deadly sins and some others too numerous to mention here.

2) They are consumed with guilt which eventually turns to anger.

3) To assuage their guilt and anger they lash out at others around them, often complete strangers as anonymity provides cover for their cowardice.

4) The anger is often of a passive-aggressive variety which manifests itself in a lifelong resentment of anyone who achieves success without dependency or a rigged system (so-called ‘fairness’).

5) Since so many share their mindset, they constitute a voting bloc. Politicians take full advantage of their misanthropy and use it as a springboard to power.

Terrific article.

I think this particularly applies to food. If there’s anything good to eat (or drink) the left will frown on it, preferring that we chew on cous cous and broccoli and drink purified guava juice and even THEN frowning because we’re probably not consuming organic cous cous and broccoli, harvested by a pot-head hippie by hand and brought to market in a foot-powered wheelbarrow.

yup. if a conservative doesn't like something they leave it alone, if RATS don't like something, they don't want YOU to have it/do it either...

Somewhere between 1960 and now....
The left has become the “intolerant” right they purport to
despise and the right has become the group of live and let
live. So many leftys tell me “I’m a hippie” and I tell them,
“No, you’re not.” They live the most anal-retentive, over
controlled lives of anybody I have ever seen. They are anything
BUT free spirited. Which would not be so bad except that they
want to control everybody ELSE’S lives as well.

Every poll has concluded that liberals are less happy than conservatives. There are many reasons for this, and given the importance of little joys to happiness, the Left's religious-like opposition to many of them is surely one of those reasons.

This is on a bit of a tangent, but when I visited the Capital building in Sacramento, I couldn't help but notice a huge difference between the governors' portraits. All of the Republican governors' portraits showed happy men with huge smiles across their faces (e.g. Reagan, Deukmajian). The Democrat's portraits were all of scowling, unhappy men (e.g. Brown, Davis).

When first you practice envy, in any form, your ultimate destination is known. Unfortunately, envy destroys both the practicer of it and everyone around them. Envy dispises all virture and enjoyment. Ever wonder why our culture has become remorsefully unfunny? We no longer have a sense of humor for fear of being condemned by our “anointed betters”. America was once a fun and interesting place to live. It has become a summer camp for retards.

These are the same people who teach that a man putting his sexual organ into another man’s defecatory orifice is merely a lifestyle choice.

...because the Left hates the fact that people smoke (tobacco, not marijuana, which the Left defends) it uses totalitarian (I use that term with no exaggeration) tactics to eliminate it.

I always thought it ironic when people claim police waste too much time busting kids smoking pot,(when they could be catching "real" criminals,they argue),but have no problem when the police spend the time to send 17 year olds into the corner store to see if they can fool the cashier into selling them cigarettes.

I'm about halfway through Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism." It's hard to describe the feeling I get in the pit of my stomach when I recognize the behaviors of the earlier fascist dictators being displayed in the current resident. If you haven't read this book, you need to. Soon.

Right now, Golberg is describing the need for war in order to give substance to fascisitic tyranny, and exposes the AGW lie, the dietary fat/heart disease lie, earth-worship, etc., all as suitable substitutes for actual war in order to support the governmental controls on every minute aspect of American life. It gives me a sick feeling to realize that we have had fascism in place for the last hundred years.
