Democrats?
Good article. Thanks for posting. :)
Great piece. Thanks for posting!
A frequent AT contributor, Robin is a recovering liberal and psychotherapist in Berkeley.
North Carolina recently passed the Anti-Bullying Law mostly for our schools. I see court cases, lots of them. An economic stimulus for our judicial industry...
When an actress calls for gang raping Palin, she's a sadist. When people torch Palin's church with children inside, they are sadists. When bloggers call her a c___t and scorn her disabled son, they are being sadists.

This type of analysis reminds more of two things from literature, one more classical:
"the devil's best trick is to persuade you that he doesn't exist!" - BaudelaireAnd, from a more current view, the Raymond Feist fantasy novels, where the protagonists muse about the nature of evil, and wonder why anyone would willingly serve such a destructive force. Their only conclusion is that evil is insane, and those following it do not comprehend the destructiveness of their own choices because they themselves are no longer capable of understanding them.
A friend from Russia noticed the degradation of American society. She explained that Russia needed so many harsh laws because the people had become worse. And that it was starting to happen here. If there are too many "peter pans - who won't grow up" and an abundance of people stirring the pot for sadistic control - there won't be enough laws to make our world safe from each other.
Palin has to get off this victim stuff. It’s weakness not strength. Many in this country say similar personal things about Obama and his wife too. Let’s move on, we have Health Care, cap and Trade and the Supreme Court to worry about, Talking about how hateful the libs are may be republican base fundraising candy but it does nothing for me. (Democrats use Cheney and Rush) especially with THEM in charge.
I am inspired by Senator Demint articulating knowledgeble positions on those issues.
Thanks for the ping. I enjoy reading Robin of Berkeley. She is good. She solved many internal contradictions by going conservative. But how many liberals are still trapped that way: live ostensibly conservative lives and practicing Utopian wishful thinking politically.
You're right - and when they do - on a personal level - it's wrong. And sadistic. And the MSM catches it - and Jim Rob "catches it" and we have mods working full time to throw the stuff out.
BUT WHEN LIBERALS do it, it's time to "move on"?
NO Sickoflibs, this type of evil is a tactic dems use. It's not an accident - it's not a mistake - and it's not being done by the uneducated in the dem party - it's being done by their leaders. They have paid professionals whose job is to destroy our (conservatives) ability to communicate with each other.
The people who went after Palin weren't unemployed lowlifes spewing hatred from computers in their homeless shelters or prison rec rooms... They were the "cream of the Party" - dem professionals and the paid brown-shirts.
Their tactics ARE the issue of a civilized society.
Interesting article
This whole scene reminds me of Stephen King’s book “The Stand”- a battle between good and evil, where good people were hated and feared because they saw through the evil and refused to back down or succumb
It is amazing how they keep on doing these ethics complaints, and they keep getting tossed.
I loved this last part of her article-
I look around each day and ask myself the same question, "Where are the human beings?" I see fewer and fewer each day. But there's a shining example in Alaska of a woman who maintained her integrity in the midst of cruelty that would have crushed many of us; who never descended to the level of the thugs; and who exits the scene with something that the sadists will never have, not even in their dreams -- her humanity.
I have never felt as heavy in my heart and mind, as I do today, reflecting upon the deep and truly horrific wounds uhbama and his cabal are inflicting upon our nation.
I can not hide my head in the sand and pretend our nation can withstand this for three + more years.
And I resent the 'saul alinsky' described agitation and vexation, whatever, that I feel as result of that creepy half black man in our White House and the genuine filth that he has chosen to advise and direct our nation.
I do not want uhbama's vision to destroy our nation.
What can we do?
Evil and vile.
Sadism, much like sexual immorality (a redunancy?), is seeking the pleasure reward out from punishing oneself and others, and it is done in the act of inflicting pain or such punishment - around and within.
These liberals are not normal people yet they are “empowered” now to make legal and health decisions for us - good grief.
