Liberals love it when people humiliate themselves and put themselves on display as victims. But if you are sure of yourself and successful in life, they will attack you. Liberals love to see moral decadence and celebrate it. Such as those homosexual parades that feature floats with half naked people dressed in leather and whipping each other. But if a decent person holds up a sign protesting the vulgar display, the liberals are quick to label that person a right-wing wackjob.
Here in Massachusetts, I see this all the time. All the hate and intolerance comes from the left.
These are very good observations. It appears that the Left revels in the denigration of the human being and is repelled by his exhaltation. What could be behind this phenomenom? What is the root cause of this fact.
Perhaps it is all of a piece with my earlier post of how the Left prefer appraising people as Collectivities of various group identities rather than as Unique Individuals. The Triumph of the Individual over his conditions is dismaying to those who preach that one's conditions are his destiny--which have to be dealt with as the unchangeable reality.
Which explains the left's hatered for Jews and Israel. As long as Jews are being murdered, they're OK... But as soon as they begin defending themselves, well, "How Date They?!?!?!?!" Which also explains why they support murdering terrorists, who make themselves out to be the "victims!"

Massachussetts is a leftwing whack job. My daughter lives there and she says things all the time that come down to Massachussetts is a left wing whack job.
Not all of it. Some conservtives I have known talk dismissively about minority groups. But in their day-to-day encounters and their approach to employment and advancement everyone is Joe or Mike or Barbara or Lashawn, a good man , a competent clerk,etc.The Liberals I know, and a couple are best friends of many years standing, loudly proclaim for minority Equality but treat non-Euro people only as representatives of their race/culture/ethnicity. Joe is always a (ethnicity here)/American if he is not Euro derived.
