The Scientologists and other cults cultivate politicians:

Church of Scientology Lobbied Hillary’s State Department

It’s an interesting theory, Yaelle. Makes sense. I usually equate the Left with the Liberal.

But I think your distinction is correct, there’s a lot of mindless follow the crowd among Liberals.

So by your definition, sounds like Hillary voters are liberal and Berniebots are Leftists.

I love you tag line, by the way,

[Yaelle]

Thanks!

Dennis Prager speaks a lot about the difference between liberals and actual leftists. People who already deeply believed in Bernie’s platform are leftists, but a lot of libs signed on to him too, in a big gullible group.

Yes it is.

Liberals are trying to immanentize the eschaton.

Never a good idea.

Herein I suggest reasons why American/European Liberalism and Islamic Extremism unite against Conservatives:

1. Both believe, as enemies of liberty, in one-world totalitarian government whether the Caliphate of one or the UN Globalism of the other.
2. Both humiliate women whether by the genital mutilation, Sharia Law, etc. of the one or the Abortion/Feminism of the other.
3. Both are deadly killers, whether by the Abortion/Crime/Suicide/Euthanasia of the one or by the honor-killing/terrorism/suicide-bombing of the other.

Conservatives and especially evangelical conservatives are not simply hated, but are a formidable obstacle which must be removed by any means necessary.

Excellent points.
