That’s an interesting question. For most liberals, I think it’s #2: Leftist ideology leads a person to become bitter.

Conservatives have a realistic view of the world. But for whatever reason, liberals have an unrealistic, almost childlike view of the world. And when their impossible dreams don’t come true, they become bitter.

And in extreme cases, their bitterness leads to mass murder. (Yes, Mao Tse-tung, I’m talking about you. But you’re certainly not the only example.)

A clarification to my post #6. I’m talking about modern liberals/leftists. They are darn near fascists. And that’s quite unlike the liberals of old.

I agree.

Liberals often seem to consider themselves to be victims. They blame the world for that, and get angry. Conservatives, on the other hand, understand that taking responsibility for your own situation is the mature way to go.

Stop using the term liberal when talking about leftists. There are no more liberals.
