It would be interesting to ponder why Asians are left out of this Leftist conclusion, while American blacks and all Hispanics every are firmly in it.

Check your than s and then s.

Very interesting but something is nagging at me. I will reread it.

I can propose an answer as to why Asians are apart: their cultures are anti-victicrat. The Japanese take self-responsiblity so seriously that suicide for screwing up is considered honorable. It's a good point that you make in noticing their absence.

PS1000, I enjoyed reading your piece and think it's mostly spot on in a very much well-stated way. One point that nagged: the premise that being "stupid" is the equivalent of lacking the ability to exercise free will. For me, when I consider how some liberals exercise free will, many I would say were stupid -- in that they were exercising their free will stupidly. So if in turn a liberal accused me of being stupid (as opposed to brainwashed or a religious zealot/zombie), I would figure the same thing was meant: you're capable of exercising free will and you're doing it stupidly.

No matter. Your point is masterfully made, and it does come down to free will and the willingness to take responsibility for one's own actions. Liberals like free will as long as it matches up with their worldview ... the problem is that their worldview exempts many people from self-responsibility, and that it should be everybody's free will to accept their responsibility by proxy.

Or something like that! Good piece. Thanks for food for thought.
