Emotionalism or demonic possession. Pretty hard to tell the difference watching them in action. Either that or it is a very wide spread sever mental physcosis.

IDK Kaslin, I don’t have cable, nor ever had. I don’t have a new car. Actually a 79 chevy pickup and 20 year old van is quite fine to me. And I haven’t eaten in a restaurant for about 15 years. I ask of liberals, where’s the love. There are certain relatives I can’t ever talk politics too because as soon as I open my mouth it triggers craziness from them.

The deceitful, corruption-filled, murdering left.

The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?
--Jeremiah 17:9.

What feels good or bad is not an indicator of good or bad. People can love evil as much as they love good. Those who say they don't need to Bible because they have an inner sense of right and wrong are just being fooled.

I hope you’re not married or is you are the wife’s extended trips into “town” maybe more than you think. Come on man, get out there and take her out to the Golden Corral or at least Longhorn..

When a person is in a highly emotional state they are incredibly prone to suggestion. Since we’re headed to war should we start learning how to take advantage of that in attempt to de escalate?

Godlessness, mostly.

The left’s negative, unintended consequences (that are predictable and frequent) result from ignoring truths, natural law, human nature, true history, facts, data and real science.

Basically, from believing that what they feel, what they assume or what they hope for is reality. And they believe it fervently. That’s pretty much the intellect of adolescents, who are driven to prove that they know more than Dad.

“Liberals support higher taxes and increasing spending because they hope it will provide equal things for all people. They feel bad that not everyone can afford cable TV, new cars, eating out at restaurants, etc.”

I don’t want them eating out at the restaurants that I frequent. They wear hideously inappropriate clothing; wear hats (also usually hideous) inside (presumably because they haven’t washed or combed their hair); smell bad; use foul language; non-tippers; and worst of all, let their kids run around, generally unsupervised.

The emotionalism of leftards and their war against reason is incompatible with freedom. Eventually every dispute will be settled by force rather than by peaceful persuasion.

I think there has been a cultural trend for decades which places emotions on a higher pedestal than rational thought.

People feel the way they feel, and you’re not allowed to tell them they are wrong.
You may have Facts, but they have Feelings and that is just as important! Maybe more!

They wallow in this stuff and it makes them lazy. They don’t need to explain or defend anything. They just emote and declare victory.

It is good for a laugh to observe these intellectually stunted nitwits become overwhelmed by reality. It is unfortunate for society that most don’t take the only honorable way out a available to them.

‘Those who say they don’t need to Bible because they have an inner sense of right and wrong are just being fooled.’

so you’re saying that someone who does not follow the Judeo-Christian premises is incapable of discerning right from wrong...? if so, you’ve written off 90+ percent of humans who have ever lived...

none of the items you’ve listed have anything to do with religious belief...
