It is not a mental disease...it is really demon possession.
Leftism is a combination of hypocrisy (among the leftie political elite) and cowardice (among the leftie “intelligentsia”).
If a conservative is a leftie who’s been mugged, a leftie is someone who wishes to prevent being mugged by pre-emptively giving any potential mugger YOUR wallet.
Lefties are cowards who would sell you out in a heartbeat if they thought it would buy them 5 more minutes of their pathetic little lives.
How else explain why they will suck up to people who would actually kill them at the first opportunity (Muslims, for example) while pretending that they have courage by attacking those who would protect them but who have enough honor not to (e.g. conservatives, US Service men and women).
They know that the former WOULD kill them while the latter wouldn’t.
We need to start calling lefties what they are: yellow bellied potential slaves who would rather live on their knees then die on their feet - and they’d kill us if they could to continue living on thier knees.
This left-wing economist is ignorant to the fact that she is really condemning herself.
Ryan is a capitalist and as such understands that through capitalism the economy prospers best for all. Nothing he is doing is out of line with his own beliefs.
Yet why is she out at this place having dinner? She should be home wringing her hands over how should fairly divide up any worth she has in order to redistribute it to those less fortunate.
She is a mental midget who doesn’t even realize that it is she who is making a mockery of her own beliefs with her statement and actions.
It is the same across the board with the left-wing. They only want to dictate the lives of others and never want to practise their own beliefs.
Te big time AGW fear mongers ride around in limos and private jets while telling others to live less.
Obamas appointments and his buddies at GE are all tax cheats and pay nothing while they push to raise the taxes of others.
The left preaches tolerance but then never shows an ounce of it themselves.
The list could go on and on. Be it a mental disease or just flat out corruption, lies and crime the democrat party and the entire left-wing are full of it.
This old saw about the poor and the elderly is not even logically consistent. What is special about the elderly that makes them en masse deserving of a government benefit? Stated another way why does the left insist that the elderly rich be given Social Security and Medicare benefits? After all, Warren Buffett may be old but he is also very rich! You would think therefore that it would be the left demanding means tests for these precious public resources.
The answer of course is because it works. And this says as much about the stupidity of the Sheeple as it does about the cunning of the left.
What was a communist doing in a high priced restaraunt instead of a food pantry?
It’s always sacrifice for thee and not for me, according to the collectivists.
At the grocery store recently, a food stamp reciepient bought over $300 in T-Bone steaks and seafood.
I bought ground sirloin.
Could someone please just burn this bimbo at the stake?
Liberalism is a direct result of marijuana use.
Actually, I agree with Feinberg. Ryan should have been drinking something more modest, say, Bali Hai, Boone’s Farm, Red Ripple, or Annie Green Springs. Fine Commie wines that go good with really cheap Mexican brick weed, the kind that’s all stems and seeds.
I am disturbed by the tone of this article and many of the responses. Just because we disagree with with a political position doesn’t mean we have to insult the people who hold it. The way to change minds is through intelligent, logical debate, not through insults and name calling.
I know people of all political points of view who I like and respect, including liberals.
I joined Free Republic a few days ago looking for a thoughtful discussion of conservatism and free market theory. At this point it seems like this is more a place for venting anger. I am disappointed.
Articles that explain how modern liberals suffer from a mental disorder.
They’re not interested in helping the poor, they’re interested in using the poor as an excuse to line their own pockets. In a society based on economic equality, someone has to decide who gets what. The “deciders” get wealth and power without measure. Libs aim to be the deciders.
Good article but the guy left out the truck driver, forklift operator, secretary, accountant, tax man and a hundred other people who all take their small piece out of those bottles of wine - even a bloody economist will indirectly profit from any sale of any item.

Rush mentioned this story on his radio show Monday.
Rush wanted to know why this woman wasn’t outraged over the $100,000 booze and food bill run up by Nancy Pelosi and her family on the government jet that ferried them between Washington, D.C. and San Francisco on a frequent basis.
As Rush pointed out, Congressman Ryan and his party paid for their own food and wine.....Pelosi stuck the U.S. taxpayers for her enormous tab.
“Now, this column is not about defending Paul Ryan. It’s about defending capitalism and showing how incredibly stupid the 2+2=5 Left truly is. From the Talking Points Memo propaganda piece:”
With God as my witness I swear this is true. I once worked with a lefty reporter who argued with me in from of several people in our newsroom that 1+1 didn’t necessarily = 2.
It was a straight faced/no joke argument that he said that math is not absolute and 1+1 can equal anything we want it to depending on the context. He was rabid about it and the argument devolved into a screaming match that got him pulled into the Ed’s office.
This man is now an aide for a Dem state pol in Pennsylvania. Think about that for a bit.
