Because they think they’re smarter than everyone else
Seeking peace and rehabilitation with liberals is like asking the insane some tips on self help and success. They are the ones in need of rehab and seeking peace, but they are the ones demanding our accomodation. They always bully and expect others to worship them.
They essentially have flipped what God meant to keep subconscious (sex) to the conscious, and what was supposed to be thought out consciously. (Family) to some forgotten subconscious aspect that should naturally occur with the help of government programs.
It is a mental disorder.
I disagree. I know many successful liberals. They are wealthy and well off. They believe in their abilities but do NOT believe others are just as capable. They believe government exists to "help" those they see as incapable.
Those are the elitists. They believe themselves far above the rest of us and surely those they seek to "help".
They have gone about creating a class of people who rely on them for their subsistence. This accomplishes two things: It makes them feel good about themselves giving them a false sense of superiority. And, it creates a group of people who laud them and look up to these liberals for their needs perpetuating the cycle.
Liberals are easily explained: They have inflated egos and need to keep those egos fed. The easiest way is to create subjects.
The one thing they do fear are those of us who are capable of doing for ourselves. They fear their "help" will not be needed and as a result they would get no "energy" from our adulation.
Liberals are not complicated. They seek control. Plain and simple.
They seek fealty.
They seek to subjugate. They need subjects to sit at their feet and look up to them.
I clicked on this article hoping for a more meaningful discussion of why people reject logic and rational thought in favor of mystical thinking and belief in Santa Claus (in the form of a government that provides everything to everybody). I didn’t get that. In fact, I’m going to have to disagree with most of the author’s arguments. There *is* a place for regulation within the conservative world view.
The issue with regulation is that too many totalitarians want to regulate everything, instead of just those things that directly affect public health and safety. How a meat packer conducts his operations should be directly up to him. But it is absolutely reasonable to regulate the quality of his products such that they are reasonably free of microbial contamination, contain the claimed ingredients, and are safe to eat.
This author never did speculate why some people become loony leftists. I would love to better understand that issue, since the first step in solving a problem is correctly defining it.
Indeed. Say it again. Public school is evil, inherently so.
A family with interests in children sending them to school of lesser care is the first act of economic self discrediting in favor of a lesser entity. This blackmail by the schools of those who work to build the school building itself is the biggest fraud ever.
It sets a trend of acceptance of teachings from increasing degeneracies and exploitation. Schools and school unions are inherently politically pedophile.
Speculations are just that, so why should he?
Indeed, it is not a natural neutral sociology, but a satanic worship enforced ultimately, sharia style.
Why Do Liberals Believe What They Believe?
FANTASY IS THEIR MEDIUM OF INFINITIZATION.
Stupid is as stupid does. Then it gets elected.
The communists have influenced a whole generation in our schools, media and govt. to believe all they do. Have you noticed the arrogance involved whenever they express their beliefs? They view themselves as morally superior in their caring for others and in their assessment of things and they cannot be reasoned with because they are only emotional. They are demoralized and only the most intellectually honest among them can ever see the truth. This is the reason they have been calling us fearmongers and racists even when the facts show quite the contrary. They trust their sources and no facts even make a dent in what they believe. Try speaking against what they believe they need in the form of govt. welfare (such as Obamacare) and you become an enemy very quickly. They feel the need to control everyone because they believe they know better than you what is best and it is all about the collective and not the individual.
Good post. I’ve worked around a lot of liberals over the years and fundamentally there seems to be a common thread running through all of them. They see themselves as morally and intellectually superior to the rest of us backward “hayseeds”. They are the enlightened ones who have a spiritual duty to guide the rest of us.
Your point about liberals being incapable of competing, fearing humiliation and being faulted ties right in with the superiorist theme. Liberals hate those who challenge their self perception of superiority.
Do you know any humble liberals who don’t have a superiority complex? Liberals have an irresistable urge to judge and blame everyone as criticizing their “inferiors” makes them fell even more superior. Look at Obama for a prime example of this.
Liberals brains are wired differently. They don’t really think; they just emote. They are incapable of acknowledging any of the consequences of their utopian schemes. They want what they want, and never consider the costs in any terms. Unlike most normal people, they manage to block contravening thoughts completely out of their minds.
Being a liberal means never having to say you’re sorry.
That’s a no brainer. Evil, stupid, non thinkers.
It sure is.
Well partly, conservatives have given away too much.
Bring back AMERICAN jobs, and stop sending everything to foreign competitors.
Hire Americans. Now.
The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt has some interesting thoughts about why people believe ad they do and are resistant to revision based on reason. Having what we already believe confirmed by events is almost like a feel good drug to the brain. People seek confirmation rather than truth and so that which seems to confirm is embraced, whilst anything which would go contrary to already held beliefs is discounted. According to the author we are emotional beings rather than rational. He takes this too far in my opinion. Still, there some very interesting roundtables in this book.
“...liberalism is not an ideology at all. It’s a sociology. ...”
More like a “Cancer” IMHO.

Concise and accurate.
People within the “church” can’t agree on much. But one thing that 90% DO agree on is that it’s just fine to send their children to government school. It absolutely blows my mind away.
