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.
Many conservatives rush to defend criminals and hate cops.
Liberals are mentally weak/ill. Criminals are mentally weak/ill.
Doesn’t seem too complicated.
It’s party of the enablement mentality. It’s not your fault!
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.
Obama releasing 6,600 federal (felons) prisoners this weekend.
Today’s liberals or progressives or whatever they’re supposed to be called, have a real problem with absolutes. A crime is a breach of an absolute that says ‘this behavior is not allowed’. To them it’s not a crime but something smaller, a ‘mistake’, a speed but on the way of just getting your life back on track, again. The problem gets worse when the absolute authority of God is introduced. Liberals want not authority higher than their own minds. It’s a trait common to all humanity, but liberals, in particular, have made it both doctrine and dogma.
“... Obama, was repeating the liberal lie that the prisons are full of folks who just smoked a joint and got caught.”
The fact that they robbed a convenience store at gunpoint to get the money to buy the pot doesn’t seem to matter.
Because they’re only slightly less moral than so-called Republicans.

Liberals don't see anything wrong with living down to their baser instincts. It's fun..nobody gets hurt...well, maybe people do get hurt, but so what? Life is short...give in.
It's not that conservatives don't give in to baser urges, they don't make apologies for them. They don't try to justify base urges with the phrase "everybody does it."
Which is why Clinton got away with his scandalous behavior. Liberals loved to see person with great power who was as morally corrupt as they were. Clinton's low character is the reason I finally broke with Dems. Sorry Dems/liberals, character does matter.
[[Why Liberals Identify with Criminals]]
It’s very simple to figure out why
Criminals covet and STEAL other people’s money
Liberals covet other people’s money, and so they STEAL other people’s money too
Birds of a feather
Liberals identify with what they are.
And now his justice department is releasing 6,000 "nonviolent" offenders onto the streets among the populace to commit their crimes again. First stop is to register them to vote for the democRAT party before they forget who their daddy is.
It’s a question of “Trust”.
Liberals don’t trust other people because they don’t trust themselves.
I disagree with the article. It is much simpler; a matter of two different worldviews. Conservatives believe in individual responsibility and moral absolutes, and that a person largely creates their own opportunities and is responsible for their own failures, and if they commit a criminal act it is an avoidable, conscious decision. Liberals believe that outside forces, fate if you will, control both positive and negative outcomes. Thus if someone is wealthy, it is not through their own tireless efforts, skill, and sacrifice, but a matter of “luck” or “cheating”. Likewise, criminal behavior is viewed as just a “bad break”, or as the acceptable result of poverty (”what was he supposed to do, he was broke”).
