Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded - here and there, now and then - are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as “bad luck.”
-Robert A. Heinlein
Those are a couple of my favorite quotes you gave above.
The left tries to live in the world they wish it to be and the right lives in the world that is.
Neurotics build castles in the sky, psychotics live in them.
And that just shows liberalism really is a mental disorder.
