This may be the most important discussion of liberal thought. Liberals do not think. They emote. It is not possible to have a rational conversation with a liberal because liberals are not guided by rational discourse. They are a hive, driven by emotional cues. Their language elicits emotion, not thought. Even their signature accomplishments are not thought provoking. They are emotion cues.
Liberals are comtemptuous of thought. They equate thinking with hating. If you have to think about it you are not a member of the hive.
A critical understanding of the mentality of liberals differentiates between honey bee hive and the fire ant colony. The bee hive has a single queen. The ant colony is a many headed hydra, with countless queens each with their own soldiers, gatherers and drones.
Honey bees are industrious and private. Fire ants are invasive and dangerous. Liberalism is most comparable to a vast invasion of biting, poisonous, agressive fire ants. Their colony may infest acres of turf. Exterminating one mound does not eradicate the colony.
Thank you Daniel. Keeping poking those fire ants.
Great comment. Like icing on the cake.
Unlike most people, I watch television commercials very carefully looking for the REAL messages they are intent on conveying. I get extremely offended at seeing how absolutely stupid they think we are and the specific agendas they push.
If I was a martian landing here, I would think that only black people could afford brand new, bright shiney houses with two upscale cars in the garage, his and hers, That only black women clean their already spotless homes. That all black male models look like obama and are CEO material who wear the best suits and work out to stay physically fit. That white men are overweight and wear plaid flannel shirts and look to their black bosses in white hardhats for guidance on everything from car insurance to cellphones.
I see white women in the kitchen trying to chop onions with a machete and once they have the gadget that chops onions for them, they stand there bobbing their heads and smiling like total ditzes.
The most recent commercial that just stripped all my gears was a weight loss ad featuring an obese black woman with a gap between her teeth as wide as the Santa Ana Freeway emoting about how much better she feels about herself since she lost 30 pounds taking something called lipozene.
White men and women are bumblers and cannot ever seem to do anything right without the black, and sometimes hispanic,shelf stocker at Home Depot or Best Buy telling them what they need and why they need it.
michelle obama spends gazillions of government dollars to starve our kids in school, but every black ‘comedy’ on TV features obese black men and women and this is supposed to be funny.
It is no wonder that government pays so many ad agencies the high dollars to reach the lowest common denominators in their bases.
It is so much easier to be TOLD what you ‘think’ than to actually think. Visual messages are just as influential as words and they are prolific.
It is sheer laziness in a society that USED to be thoughtful, industrious, and creative.
The seiu wants everyone to be housekeepers and make other people’s beds, or serve the wealthy breakfast in bed. Be a waiter or some other service peon, pay your dues, and then go back to the laundry room and wash those hotel sheets and other people’s dirty clothes for minimum wage...but don’t ever try to make reservations for the penthouse suite yourself.
Let the union do your thinking and keep you on their straight and narrow and SERVE your masters but don’t ever try to become one.
If you HAD a job that was industrious, you are most likely collecting unemployment now and being told you deserve to sit at home or at the local pub and collect what you are ‘owed’ while your jobs have left the country never to return, but instead of fighting for those jobs, you are content with being TAUGHT that lazy is good and work is for idiots.
I could go on and on, but it’s just words, isn’t it?
Please stop using the word ‘liberal’. As stretched out as semantics has become, the word to use with leftists, Marxists, communists, and the like is ‘progressives’.
Cancer is progressive, and leftism is spread thusly.
liberal means ‘free’, or generous.
Does any of the left’s agenda strike you as either?
“It is not possible to have a rational conversation with a liberal because liberals are not guided by rational discourse.”
Avoid any if not all interactions with rabid liberals.
They got stuck between their terrible twos and being an irrational teenager, and they have never evolved from that irrational emotional affliction.
