And then there's his gun grabbing, pro-abort, and the usual stuff.
He agrees 100% with Koffe Annon and the UN that only official govt military and police forces need firearms.
I wonder why?
You ain't just whistling dixie. I'm paying attention too.
This CFR is Campaign Finance Reform not the Council on Foreign Relations.
Walp - that's better than sayin' "OH $hi!" ain't it?
They have repeated their propaganda so many times that they have come to believe in their own lies.
It's human nature. When people do evil things, their pride will not allow them to consider that their evil deed has set them apart from the norm, and has made them despicable. After succumbing to evil temptation, they feel guilt, but without guidance the guilt is forgotten and becomes humiliation. Instead of feeling remorse and taking responsibility for the action, some people become angry at the victim of their evil for humiliating them. This is particularly true if the victim doesn't react the way the evil person would, by becoming more evil. By remaining honorable in the face of evil, the victim shames the perpetrator, and this shame becomes hatred more intense each time the victim doesn't lower himself to the evildoer's level.
The victim may not even know he has "humiliated them," but may only be acting in a normal way; righteous and lawful self-defense, or by ignoring the perp if possible. Either way, by not acting as the perp would do in a similar situation, the good person is seen as the standard by which the evil one is judged, and it is unbearable.
So in order to retain their image of themselves as "good" people, evildoers must assume that others are guilty of just as much evil as they, even if there is no proof of such. They assume moral equivalency (and it often shows in their worldview of history.) To that end, the evil person must tell himself that the focus of his hatred has done everything the evil doer has done and more, and convince himself that the good person simply hasn't been caught yet.
So they create conspiracies and instead of treating their suspicions as allegations, they gradually come to accept them as truths, believing that the victim DESERVED their evil. They come to believe their own propaganda.
And if you go back a couple of years, you will see that the pro-drug Libertarians on FR, spammed posts from the Soros sponsored Lindesmith center.
