Liberalism is more than just a mental disease; it is a sickness of the soul.
Hippies, Hookers, Hypes and Heathens, Hostile and Heretic, out-Herod Herod
.... and so on.
Thanks Bill -- I've been trying to get that across for some time now.
That he was. Nietzsche gets a sort of bad rap for the "God is dead" line he put into the mouth of a madman. De Sade really believed it.
I think DeSade is a fascinating reductio ad absurdum on the branch of the French Enlightenment that encompassed Rousseau.
Yes - the English political Enlightenment included such luminaries as Locke, Paine, and Burke - the French included Robespierre and Marat. Not the most comfortable of comparisons.
I do think it amusing that De Sade missed being liberated by the storming of the Bastille by about two weeks. I'm not sure I could handle that sort of metaphor. ;-)

In the words of little jeremiah:
Not for the faint of heart*; hard hitting article. I highly recommend it to anyone who already sees the problem, and even more to those who don't see the problem.
Better twice than not at all..(I guess)
I have so many pings on my pings page they get buried. Note to self, double check next time..
"America’s Left is comprised of two sorts of people: those willing to engage in evil and those who are willing to aid and abet it."
I disagree with this. The Left is indeed comprised of two sorts of people. The first one listed above is correct; the Left's leaders are willing to engage in all sorts of evil to advance their agenda, and are cunning and extraordinarily deceptive. The second sort is an entirely clueless group. The deceptiveness of the first group and the cluelessness of the second group is illustrated by the Left's success in calling good evil, and evil good. The simple fact is that most of the Left is just clueless, due to lack of intelligence, intellectual laziness, or government schooling (aka, public school.)
I think the left is going to win. They have played to game a long time and know how to make evil sound good. Our culture is too weak to fight aganist what they call homophobia. They know how to state their case and demean those who would speak aganist them as mean, homophobic, denying them a civil right (which does not exsist) etc. I have little hope.
Bump
Some of us are still fighting. :^)
Yes, but you are forgetting good ol' fashioned conservative obstinacy. The kind of obstinacy where you never admit defeat, and win just by being irritating enough to keep on living and holding on to your beliefs.
I mean...just look at early Christian history, or Jewish history. Persecution? Meh. We're all still around. We come back every time, stronger than before.
And besides, demeaning people only works for so long as a tactic. Use it too often, as the left is doing, and you just throw up your hands and say "Fine, I'm mean, narrow-minded, intolerant and homophobic. I still think it's wrong, and I'm going to shout it from every rooftop. So screw you, hippie, with some sexual harassment on top!"
LOL!!!!!!!!!!! I'm just overly concerned or feeling old I don't know which.
The Sex Positive Agenda (which stretches back decades) seeks to objectives: (1) no moral judgments over sexual pairings regardless of sex, age, relation, number, marital status, or species of partner(s) and (2) everyone sexually active at every age (abstinence is "unhealthy" because it is a suppression of desires).
So the Left calls people names.
So what? How do they put teeth into their denunciations? In Cuba and liberal Western Europe (and in academia and the media, of course), they can cause loss of employment, ostracism, even death, to those denounced.
But this is America. The denounced can fight (and kill) back. Who cares what this Left filth thinks?
Not I. Let's cut flesh, howaboudit?
This is an article that would blow Rabbi Lerner's skullcap into high-earth orbit:

(don't let "catholic education" fool you; it's written by conservative
Jewish commentator Dennis Prager)
I vote we declare these leftists and "psychologists" mentally insane.
They are psychotic. Every one of them.
de Sade gets fair credit for adding to the madness following the
French Revolution in this book:
"The Twilight of Atheism: The Rise and Fall of Disbelief in the Modern World"

"(I learned a new word today, "coprophillia")"
Yes, indeed. And may I suggest a usage for that new word? How's 'bout "Practice coprophillia and assume room temperature - Liberals!"
;-)
When people have an exploitive mentality towards others - use and toss, like old kleenex - that user mentality will seep into everything they do. The "me first, last and only" consciousness taints every aspect of their life.
Look, for instance, at the Clintons. Billy J is a perfect example. In every field of endeavor, user mentality. Me first, and the devil take the hindmost. No one can use other people as sexual orifices only and in the "rest" of their life be a nice, caring, rational guy. He sees the entire world as his to use.
These leftists who supposedly care so much about the environment while pushing evil and immoral agendas only want a nice environment so when they go rock climbing or hiking it'll be nice FOR THEM. They could give a crap about the rest of us, in fact, they're the ones who are big on abortion and euthanasia. They want the world all pristine and pure for THEM.
Greed and selfishness - when people look at others as sex objects for them to enjoy, with sex divorced from marriage and the potential for procreation, they start looking at everything the same way. Use for me, use for me, use for me.
They paint this selfishness with the word "Environmentalist" but they only care about the environment in a way that suits their greed. They'd actually like a whole bunch of human beings (us, of course, not them and their friends) to die so they'd have more living space... Hmm, sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Exactly so. And homosexuality is the poster child, since if same sex acts (which are by their very nature extremely disgusting and unhealthy) are fine, why then, everything else which isn't quite as disgusting must be even more fine!
Reminds me of the psychological training/brainwashing in "That Hideous Strength" by C.S.Lewis.
