Recently, Kohn gave a TED Talk in which she explained about imputing good motives to people: “(W)hat I’ve realized is political persuasion doesn’t begin with ideas or facts or data,” she said. “Political persuasion begins with being ‘emotionally correct.'”

Just like a Liberal.

Emotions are what really count.

Effective action is second at best.

Logical, rational thought based on historical, measurable data rarely comes in to play.

I've noticed that for a long time. The left pretends to believe that they are superior people because they care so much, nevermind the outcomes of their stupid policies, always at someone else's expense in some way. None of these racebaiters live in the hood or amongst all the Muslim immigrants they want to dump onto the heads of the rest of us.
