Here is an other excerpt:

Note that damage to those listening to a Biblical Serpent or a contemporary "community organizer," does not depend on whether the "grievance"--as with Eve--was imaginary. The unfair attribution of blame is certainly wrong. But the primary damage to the one persuaded to focus on a "grievance," rather than on what one so focused could actually do to better his or her situation, arises from the misdirection: In ignoring what actually works to better an unsatisfactory condition.

And, here, another excerpt:

A need to blame others for life's disappointments, obviously diverts focus from the process of taking an inventory of one's resources--the aptitudes & opportunities available to address any frustration in a constructive manner. But the psychology in blaming others for life's frustrations, is addictive. It is especially unfortunate in a socio-economic environment, so dependent upon individual responsibility as that of one of the United States.

Put another way: If you expose the flagrant idiocy of allowing the grievance mongers a free hand, you may just arrest the Socialist epidemic.
