Liberals hate cops, honest citizens with guns, and hard sentencing laws because liberals identify with criminals.
When visiting a Federal prison Obama summarized the view of liberals when he said:
“These are young people who made mistakes that aren’t that different than the mistakes I made and the mistakes that a lot of you guys made."
While the people in the prison he was talking about were really drug dealers and violent felons, Obama, was repeating the liberal lie that the prisons are full of folks who just smoked a joint and got caught.
Liberals are five times more likely to use marijuana and cocaine than conservatives. A natural consequence of drug use is fear of the police. While the U.S. has an overly soft policy towards drug users, users are nonetheless afraid of the consequence of getting caught breaking the law. This fosters in liberals an anti-cop mentality, since the police are the agents of society that enforce society’s laws against drug use.

Liberal politicians and criminals both compete to take your money.
And meth. And crack. And skittles.
As Bastiat notes, most government action is merely legal plunder.
One does it with a gun in your back and the other does it wearing a suit and tie after passing gun control laws.
Exactly what I was about to say.
Lefties and Mafia thugs also seek to control unions.
Many conservatives rush to defend criminals and hate cops.
Liberals are mentally weak/ill. Criminals are mentally weak/ill.
Doesn’t seem too complicated.
Yes, you pay protection money or they send their thugs to take you down.
It’s party of the enablement mentality. It’s not your fault!
I would say it is far, FAR more prevalent on the Left than the Right, but here on FR, for some puzzling reason, they show up. I would say SOME conservatives (or at least they seem to want to identify themselves as such) defend criminals and hate cops.
I suspect those are the libertarian leaning ones, to a degree.
Silly me, I thought it was because they were both lazy, shiftless, worthless, good-fer-nothin’, no-accounts.
I think the problem is actually the one that is not included in the excerpt, but which the author does touch on later in the article.
Liberals do not want to take responsibility. In fact, any time someone does something bad, liberals want to blame the action on anything other than bad choices. Somehow, “society” caused the person to do bad things—they couldn’t help their actions any more than Pavlov’s dogs could help salivating at the sound of a bell. And so, to punish them for actions over which they had no control is terrible unfair.
Instead, society must be punished, and more and more dictatorial control must be placed on society to change it from one that induces criminal behavior to one in which everyone lives in a wonderful utopia where everyone has everything they need—food, shelter, phones, cars—and no one has to work. And when we achieve that utopia (which evil conservatives oppose), no one will ever commit crimes again.
I agree with you. I think the sympathy with the criminal element is a “Civilization Wide” problem part of our collapse if you please.
It’s more about both simply taking things from those who have it. Be it through insane taxes or by way of a mugging.
I agree
Obama releasing 6,600 federal (felons) prisoners this weekend.
How is that transformation of America coming?
Thru Obama's eyes, pretty damned good.
