I work with a number of lawyers who are all ultra-liberal. They openly state that in terms of politics, the ends justify the means. They acknowledge the weakness of Obama and the corruption of the Clintons, but view it as a necessary evil to ensure that the Democrats remain in power to push the liberal agenda on every issue. They would sell the souls of their own children to ensure a liberal gets appointed to the Supreme Court.
It is because for liberals the act of ‘feeling’ trumps all others. Outcome does not matter; only that you ‘feel’ appropriately.
I think liberals are a bit insane. Their ideas seem almost completely backward from truth and they can’t understand why the outcomes of their decisions are bad.
Benjamin Franklin, Signer of the Declaration of Independence “[O]nly a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”
The people and their leaders in 2016 are no longer virtuous. Therefore, the ground is fertile for tyranny to grow.
W used to drive me crazy, saying about abortion: “There are good people on both sides of this issue.”
Right. There are good people who think ripping babies to pieces is just peachy.
The Left is just the world’s evil people. The Right is a mixture of good and bad people.
This usually requires being placed in a situation where every significant event runs counter to one's mindset. For example, most of those who were "America First" isolationists on December 6, 1941, were converted to gung-ho destruction of the Axis over the next 48 hours. That the events of September 11, 2001 did not convert the liberals to the eminent danger of jihadism, and the inherent superiority of Judeo-Christian-Aristotelian principles, forces one to a grave conclusion, that it will take a much more grievous event to shake them from their foundational principles and experience the metanoia necessary for our national and philosophical survival.
Well I can’t click on the vid, so I’ve no clue what it says.
But I can comment anyway!!
Today’s liberals don’t even understand the philosophical underpinnings of their own ideology (groupthink.) They just let themselves be told what to think by their commie overlords.
Whatever is trendy right now, they’re all for it.
Anyone who believes that right and wrong are objective (originating from a God outside ourselves and our own desires) eternal and irreversible, is “on the wrong side of history,” according to Commie groupthink.
Communist ideology is essentially based on the Hegelian notion of thesis + antithesis = synthesis, then repeat with the synthesis becoming the new thesis.
Whatever is true now + what is false = the new truth. Repeat ad infinitum.
So the truth keeps changing. What is truth? Whatever the loudest mouth and biggest guns say it is.
This is why you can be on the right side of history (i.e. a revered Party leader) one minute, and the next thing you know, you’re being stood up against the wall and shot.
Liberalism is a mental disorder. Facts do not cure mental disorders.
After they answer "of course not," ask them why would they vote for the person who armed the 9/11 al Qaeda terrorists so they could fight against Assad in Syria, who then took those arms, became ISIS, and murdered our ambassador and three others in Libya before going on a murderous rampage across the Middle East?

Pretty simple answer. Lots of research indicates people make decisions on emotions, then search for facts to support their decisions.
“a conservative insight is that order is precious, difficult to achieve and easy to destroy.” (quote approximate)
American “conservatism” conserves freedom - the ability to change, to do a job other than what your father did, for example. For freedom to be efficacious, there needs to be reward for accomplishment. Society naturally does this. Government, in the “liberal” vision, breaks down that reward system. “You didn’t build that” is equivalent to saying, “I do not recognize your right to own that.”
In the liberal vision, “somebody else made that happen” - and they are right. “Somebody else” mentored the businessman, “somebody else” built the road the store goes by, and so forth. But it is SOCIETY - not government - which “did that.”
Unless there’s a foundation for Judeo-Christian morality, it’s impossible to have a discussion with a liberal. They don’t believe this country was founded on these principles, in my experience anyway. You can’t even move forward unless you have that.
Liberals = FEELINGS
Conservatives - LOGIC
This will explain why the plans the liberals make never work out .. they never follow the logic of what they’re doing .. to see what the possible outcomes might be.
But, a person like Trump .. deals with LOGIC. His plans always work out, because he follows it through to the end of the project - and the building always is wonderful .. LOGIC and PLANNING .. things the liberals and THEIR FEELINGS never take into consideration.
The whole basis of liberal ideology is that they want to boss people around.
Camazotz is the liberal dream world although they all want to be It.
I think being a lib means suppressing your conscience.
When your basic m.o. is getting something for nothing you know that you are taking from someone else.
The lib conscience isn’t worried about harming someone else so much as getting caught or losing their advantage or special status.
Suppressing your conscience manifests itself in all kind of mental issues...paranoia, escapism,fantasies, projecting, narcissism, depression...
The poor/uneducated “libs” sellout for welfare crumbs while the rich/educated libs sell out for government “perks”
