he Left's Problem with Nature and Logic
American Thinker ^ | 23 Jan, 2016 | William Sullivan

Posted on 01/23/2016 8:51:14 AM PST by MtnClimber

....Is it not, therefore, the most damning of facts that the "progressive" left appears to find no usefulness in logically appraising and acting upon the patterns we routinely observe? Rather, they buck every natural compulsion by not only ignoring patterns, but by acting in direct defiance of logic and survival instincts that we humans have inherited.

How else can one describe a group who could read a report that shows that 450 out of 452 (or 99.6% of) suicide terror attacks in 2015 were perpetrated by Muslims and carried out in the name of Allah, only to insist that Muslims are not uniquely linked to global terrorism?

Or consider this. With the exception of the shooting of Gabby Giffords in Tucson, Ariz. in 2011, "every public shooting since at least since 1950 in the U.S. in which more than three people have been killed has taken place where citizens are not allowed to carry guns." And still, the zealots on the left continue to offer the same, tired bromides - that we must create more, not fewer, gun-free zones to stop mass shootings.

it’s MUCH worse than you think.

i’ve been on boards where American punks hoped Christians here got killed by muslims.

they dont dislike us. they HATE us.

my favorite nephew has a tinge of that since he graduate college. I’m trying to set him straight.

if words wont work, putting him through a wall may.

To the criminally insane a gun free zone is a game preserve.

“The result? The result you can see ... the people who graduated in the 60’s, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, and educational systems. You are stuck with them. You can’t get through to them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.

The Left's arguments are a compendium of logical fallicies: appeal to emotions; ad hominem attacks; ridicule; appeal to spite; appeal to authority; etc. It is a measure of the stupidity of the American people that the Left is in anyway successful.

desire to feel good inside = evasion of reality + emotionalism = irrationality + subjectivity

Yuru was right, but that programming is their weakness. They are entirely predictable. Just think of what would be the most illogical response to any situation, and viola, you know what they will do

but that programming is their weakness.

To show you how pervasive this 'technique' is, I only need point this out:

'their', 'they'. It is not their and they, it is US and YOU. The fact you don't believe it just proves Bezmenov's case.

Most people in the US (and the world) just don't realize how 'programmed' they are, especially by Television.

There is a technique to interfacing directly with the subconscious and getting it to accept, verbatim, anything at all, no matter how ridiculous.

Huge corporations spent vast amounts of money hiring the best minds In psychology and human behavior fields to find out how to get human beings to RESPOND to commercial advertising.

They did not fail in producing results.

The techniques works so well, they haven't changed in over 60 years.

I kind of went obtuse on your response, so I will try to get back ‘in line’.

Even if ‘we’ know what ‘they’ will do, how does that resolve the problem ?
