“The world is a comedy to those that think; a tragedy to those that feel.”
Horace Walpole, An old English guy.
This explains perfectly what a professor told me yesterday about her students - they are great about volunteer work or projects that make them FEEEEL good, but complete weenies when it comes to rigor in the classroom and of course they all think they deserve an “A” no matter what.
So these are the people who will be making policy in a generation, great.
The author leaves out another reason some people are liberals. They have been brainwashed by academia and the press.
The only error I spotted in the whole article. Experience says:
Unfortunately, people with this mindset are only able to figure utterly incapable of figuring out that they’re doing something wrong even after the car crashes and the whole country is along for the ride.
There are plenty of very intelligent liberals. Most pure scientists are liberals for example. Conversely, lots of conservatives are emotional in the sense that sometimes our only response to an issue is that our guts tell us it is just plain wrong.
There are instances where liberals were not very compassionate such as when they were all in love with eugenics. There are cases where conservatives are compassionate such as when we fought communism in Vietnam even though it wasn't a direct threat to the US at that time.
Lots of thought goes into liberals' planned economies, zoning laws, UN initiatives, etc. It is flawed thinking, but thinking nevertheless.
To assume that our political enemies are a bunch of mindless emotional nutcases is underestimating them.
Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot, etc. were not delicate snowflakes who imprisoned and slaughtered millions in order to create safe zones for themselves. They did not succeed merely through emotional appeals to lovers of mixed-race, transgendered puppies.
Liberal arguments appeal to females.
Conservative arguments appeal to males.
Since liberals have rejected value in males, they have nothing but female arguments left.
Since conservatives acknowledge the value of both, they see value in each as appropriate.
Since liberals are inherently imbalanced by denying the value and inclusion of half of human life, they are always taking about healing and feeling wounded. Everything had to be made equal because they have butchered themselves into inequality.
Since conservatives haven’t butchered themselves, they do not see or experience the pain and suffering of the wounded liberals, not accept the arguments based on an assumption of inherent weakness.
All liberalism is the result of feminism.
Kaslin: Your headline doesn’t match the content. You’re pointing to the wrong article. The article you’re pointing to is about transgenderism not how the west succeeded economically.
Making false dichotomies like this has gotten “conservatives” going down roads of plenty of feelings — feelings of badwill.
The solution is found in leaning upon, and reverence renewed towards, God, who is not Himself some unfeeling celestial monster.
If they win in November, IT’S OVER OVER HERE!!!
“and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
The Declaration of Independence
Mr. Jefferson laid out the reasons for Trump’s rise: The hundreds of present day “evils” are no longer sufferable!
One of the most insufferable to thinking American citizens is the current illegal, intentional flooding of this nation with those of an alien culture and ersatz “religion” called islam.
If you’re STILL unclear as to the intentions of the “leaders” of islam or don’t understand the EXISTENTIAL threat we face, this 3 1/2 minute video should remove all uncertainty.

Unlike the citizens of Europe (who have probably waited too long to resist) if you pass this along, we might perhaps halt this invasion before we are forced into the streets in potentially violent protests. American media is not covering it, but civil wars are brewing in Europe as you read this!
If they fail, the Europe America aided in 2 world wars is gone!

Both articles are good. The correct article at post #26 is excellent. However just a few days ago I said practically the same thing to my wife as the start of the post #1 article: “Conservatives are all about logic. Liberals are all about emotion.” I therefore also appreciated that author’s extension of this observation.
