If the leftist-idealist-socialist mindset has gone this far, we (everyone else) have a serious problem on our hands.
It's most definitely beyond an "if" - passed that point a long time back.
Roughly 48 to 72 hours after the attacks on Sept. 11 2001, I went to wandering all around the internet looking for reactions to the attacks. Not sure why I did it, it was pretty time consuming, guess I was very curious. I went by every sort of site imaginable - official government pages, personal pages, talkgroups, forums of people of all sorts of nationalities, ethnic groups, belief systems, creeds. Followers of Buddha, Christians of all denominations, Druids, Hindus, Pagans, Satanists (devil worshippers), Sikhs, Shintos, Wiccans - you name it - and yes of course muslims, though they were very quiet, at least by what I could see or read in English. What all I found was a mixture of shock, anger, fear and many prayers offered up for the dead and injured as well as for peace. Of all those wanderings, the only group I found at that time, beside the denizens of the Gaza Strip, who were openly high-fiving each other and doing happy dances were, as you put them, the leftists-idealists-socialists. Mere hours after those terrible attacks, there were these groups of people all fired up and scheming on how to take advantage of the situation, ecstatic about how they were going to make hay out of all that. And those weren't some faceless foreign thugs spewing all that insanity, but Americans - I checked, I looked some of them up which was easier back in that time, with people tending to be more casual about their personal info than it is now. Mostly adult, caucasian people in America. I remember the emotion when the realization sunk in - a nasty feeling in the pit of my stomach, pretty well as bad as on the day of the 9/11 attacks. I saw right at that moment that there was trouble incubating right on this continent, big domestic trouble to come. And here we are today in 2012, with the fullness of that scenario yet to play out.
(Here is a repost of mine from another thread which I think is germane, if troubling:)
Some of the peculiar psychologies of liberals bear an eerie resemblance to behavioral changes brought about in rodents by toxoplasmosis.
The protozoa is almost unique in that it produces an enzyme that affects dopamine production in the brain, particularly the pleasure center. By doing this, it trains the rodent to be attracted to what it fears, specifically the odor of cat urine, ending up with the rodent being eaten, a necessary step in the reproductive cycle of the protozoa.
An estimated 11 million Americans are believed to be infected by this protozoa, via undercooked meat or cat feces. And since rodent brains are somewhat similar to human brains, it raises the question of the psychological effects of infestation.
Just on the surface, this might explain why liberals are so attracted to America’s enemies, and are so repelled by the idea of us, as a nation, protecting or defending ourselves.
This is only speculation, of course, as associating subtle changes to the brain with psychological results is difficult at best.
