Proven Coping Mechanisms :
Posted on 05/24/2013 5:00:03 AM PDT by SJackson
I will frankly admit I find it increasingly difficult to share the same planet as leftists. That’s because I believe they are all insane. They say such things as “We all belong to the state” or “It takes a village to raise a child” with a straight face. One might say that a North Korean belongs to the state, but an American?
To tell the truth, the only way I have found to cope with liberals is by ridiculing them every chance I get.
Does anyone but an idiot believe that folks like Jefferson, Washington and Franklin, went to all that trouble to create a nation that was basically the same as the English monarchy?
Just how is it that it takes a village to raise a child, but any female, even one as young as 12 or 13, is entitled to have it murdered by someone like Kermit Gosnell before the village gets their hands on it?
Lest anyone ever forget, Barack Obama, while in the Illinois legislature, not only voted in favor of late term abortions, but voted in favor of killing any tots who, miraculously, managed to survive the butchery. Furthermore, unlike same-sex marriages, transparency in government and the Patriot Act, Obama has not evolved even the slightest little bit when it comes to this particular issue.
Speaking of he who should go back to community-organizing, I immediately thought of Obama when I heard about the letter sent to a casting agency by the Canadian Broadcasting Company. The CBC was looking for someone to host an afternoon TV show. But they didn’t want just anyone to apply. In order to qualify, the person had to be good with kids, love physical comedy and enjoy hanging out with puppets all day. The job was open to people of any gender, so long as they weren’t white. I wouldn’t have been the least bit surprised if they had sent the job offer directly to the White House.
For one thing, we know Obama likes spending time with his daughters, especially when the taxpayer is picking up the tab. Next, anyone who saw him sink only two of the 22 shots he took on Easter Sunday knows he is Buster Keaton’s equal when it comes to physical comedy. And, finally, after spending four years pulling the strings of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Charley Rangel, Henry Waxman and Jay Carney, he has already put in more time with puppets than Burr Tillstrom, Jim Henson and Mr. Rogers, put together.
An odd fact I recently came across is that if you’re treated for COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) at the Bayonne Hospital Center in New Jersey, the cost is $99,490. However, just 30 miles away, at the Lincoln Medical Center in the Bronx, it will run you $7,094. I can’t possibly explain the discrepancy or recommend one hospital over the other but that doesn’t mean I’m not suspicious of Bayonne.
For one thing, the price is far too reminiscent of those rip-off artists that go out of their way to keep the price of their product or service below $100 by offering it for $99.99 or under $1000 by deducting a penny from the cost. But unless I find that Bayonne has a success rate 14 times higher than Lincoln or that they encourage smoking in the Bronx facility, I’d give Bayonne a very wide berth.
In case you missed the news, Kathy Boudin, a dedicated radical/convicted cop killer, went straight from the penitentiary to a professorship at Columbia. She is merely following in the tawdry footsteps of other unrepentant nogootniks like Angela Davis and William Ayers. If anyone is seriously wondering why academia is held in such low regard these days, it’s because so many universities will roll out the red carpet for murderous loons, while at the same time slamming their ivy-covered doors in the face of conservative scholars.
What makes Democrats so despicable isn’t simply that they’re wrong on just about every issue, but that they will lie and provide cover for their fellow liars. All you had to do was tune in to the Benghazi hearings to realize how, even in the wake of our ambassador and his three gallant colleagues being slaughtered by the barbarians in Libya, people like Rep. Elijah Cummings will put partisan politics ahead of ferreting out the truth. And for good measure, they will then attribute partisan motives to those seeking the facts.
In the run-up to the election, in order to bolster the big lie about having decimated Al Qaeda, Obama, Biden, Clinton and Susan Rice, pretended that the Benghazi massacre was the result of an impromptu demonstration brought on by a silly video.
One would think that however one felt about Obama’s re-election prospects, an honest person would have to take the word of the Libyan president when he immediately announced that the attack was premeditated and carried out by Muslim terrorists.
One would also think that a cover-up involving four dead Americans would trigger at least as big a reaction from the media as Watergate, which involved an office break-in, for God’s sake, but no spilling of innocent blood. But, then, of course, one can’t really expect a Democrat such as Patty Murray, Dianne Feinstein, Dick Durbin or Patrick Leahy, to follow the example of Barry Goldwater and tell the president in no uncertain terms to do the honorable thing and vacate the premises.
One of the more mind-boggling things about Americans is the ridiculously high esteem in which so many of them hold Hillary Clinton, a woman who owes her fame not to any actual achievement, but to the fact that 37 years ago she displayed her own lack of judgment by marrying a serial adulterer
But to me, the nadir of her public life took place last January. I only wish I had been sitting in Sen. Ron Johnson’s chair when she berated him for daring to question her over the tragic events that took place on 9/11 in Benghazi.
After her hammy outburst, I would have said, “Somehow I can’t quite believe that if Ambassador to Libya Chelsea Clinton had been murdered by jihadists four months ago, her mother would sit there today and say, ‘What difference, at this point, does it make who did it?’”
the leftists are brainwashed morons who have forgotten or never learned to think
Great come back, wish I'd have thought of it.
Cunning doesn’t equate to smart. I’ve known cunning people who are complete dolts.
They do share two traits however. They are uniformly malicious and have no trace of conscience.
The most cunning can undermine you in a moment by a malicious word or belief or action.
They don’t believe their own words or actions but whatever is convenient and whatever serves their purpose to exercise the power to control is of the moment for them.
That is why they can lie and lie and lie without a trace of shame. That is why they can destroy without a thought as long as it serves their purpose.
These liberal ‘intellectuals’ will continue to lie and cover for their communist masters right up until they outlive their usefulness and a commissar puts a bullet in the back of each of their heads. They are committed to the destruction of democracy.
“Sharing The Planet With Leftists”
Nah.
Correct that to read:
“Sharing The Planet With Psychotic, Adolescent,
Revolutionary Scu*bags”
IMHO
I wouldn’t mind sharing the planet with them so much if they had no way to impose their insanity on me or my family.
Want to be “liberal” and feel good about yourself? Go do it over there with your own money.
They are. This is not rhetorical. Leftists are locked in a mass delusion, a mass psychosis, that prevents them from seeing reality and truth. It is extremely dangerous.
It is almost impossible to get them to abandon the delusion and face truth and reality--as it is to get an delusional individual to abandon the delusion and face reality.
From a link on Drudge re; Sweden's 'Youth' riots:
Despite Sweden's reputation for equality, the rioting has exposed a faultline between a well-off majority and a minority, often young people with immigrant backgrounds, who cannot find work, lack education and feel marginalised
Progressives, leftists, socialists, 'feel-gooders', and the tyrants they now have put in power just CANNOT bring themselves to say "Islam" "Muslim" "Terrorist".
They foment division, they validate it, and when their handiwork is fruitful, deny the very existence-the true cause, Islam, and the foolhardy impression they can harness Islam for their socialist goals.
They have opened Pandora's Box, and all they do is put on a pair of sunglasses and think that will help.
Liberalism really is an infantile mental disorder.
The other day at the office, one of my co-workers asked me how it was that I served multiple tours in Vietnam as a combat infantryman and I didn’t get PTSD. My rather flippant answer was “I didn’t get PTSD in Vietnam, I gave it.”
However, this PTSD question made me wonder what PTSD is and what the symptoms are, so I did a little research on the subject and found that I did indeed possess symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) concerning a traumatic and very stressful incident that occurred during my last tour in Vietnam. I was a professional soldier when the traumatic incident occurred and had accumulated over six years in Vietnam engaged occasionally in close combat with a vicious and cunningly capable enemy, but the traumatic event was not as a result of close combat with this enemy.
One day when I was totally focused on closing with and destroying the enemy, something caught my eye, I looked around and found a new enemy had unexpectedly appeared behind me; it was the American people. The same Democrat Party who had originally sent me to Vietnam promising that, “We shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and success of liberty,” had now sided with the Communists I was fighting. They were parading in the streets of the United States under a Viet Cong flag, were quoting from Mao’s Red Book, and were spitting on and flinging insults at returning Vietnam Veterans. Then, a Democrat led Congress cut off funding for the Vietnam War, American combat troops were withdrawn and we abandoned a valiant ally to their fate. I was ordered out of the country in 1972, and when I arrived at Travis Air Force Base, purposely in the dark of the night, I was advised to change out of my uniform and put on civilian clothing to avoid being attacked by the American people when I entered San Francisco. I was not at all surprised when a few decades later these same people elected a Marxist-Communist as President of what was once my country.
Yes, the deep, burning hatred I feel for the Democrat Party to this day could be diagnosed as a symptom of PTSD.
Since we don’t have a “like button” here, I’ll have to settle for giving your comments two thumbs up, 5 stars and a hearty “hell yes!”
“I wouldn’t mind sharing the planet with them so much if they had no way to impose their insainty on me or my family.”
I would bet there were many people who said the same about the Bolsheviks.
IMHO
Well said. Couldn’t agree more.
Not all leftists are delusional. Some are well-intentioned but delusional; others can see perfectly clearly but are simply evil. Some are evil and delusional.
I think a big source of liberal mind fog is a fundamental belief that it is not possible for a person to be unimaginably evil. This belief is sufficiently ingrained into useful idiots' psyches that evidence which imply that a person is evil beyond imagination will be met with unbelief. The more evil the evidence would show a person to be, the stronger the opposing belief that no person could possibly be that evil.
One of my fears in the Zimmerman trial is that an LMF-infested juror will look at Zimmerman's injuries as proof that he must have done something to provoke Martin, since otherwise there's no way a human being (as Martin is presumed to have been) would have attacked someone so ferociously. The idea that some people are savage animals, and that Trayvon Martin may have been such a person, would be incompatible with the fundamental belief that there's a limit to people's "evil-ness".
very well said. They are indeed psychotic.
You’re absolutely right. There is no limit to human evil or to the depths of depravity to which humans cans sink. One reason sociopaths inspire such fanatical devotion in other people is that most people can’t imagine what they’re really like. This was a big problem for Neville Chamberlain; he couldn’t imagine a man like Hitler.
