I was at a neighborhood party once, and a "Liberal" neighbor was going on about how churches should be forced to marry homosexuals, and rich businessmen should be forced to pay more taxes, and how corporations should be forced to cleanup pollution, and how oil companies should be forced to lower the cost of oil, and on and on and on.
I spoke up and said that maybe government had already become too powerful.
"You!" she spat. "You! You're a Republican! All you want to do is control people! I know your game! You just want power so you can boss people around!"
I said: "No, I want to be left alone. That's what it means to be a Conservative. It sounds like you're the one who wants to force a lot of people to do a lot of things."
She called me a vile name and stalked off.
Hatred? Lack of tolerance? Ignorance? Authoritarian? It was all right there. That's the Left.
All I ever see from liberals is projection, they accuse others of being exactly what they are but imagine themselves to be these wonderful “compassionate”, “tolerant” people who devote themselves to helping others. It is almost like a bank robber calling himself a financial counselor and accusing the bank depositors of robbing him.
