I don't know about this. The Lib LEADERSHIP might be evil and crafty, but the rank and file...? They truly and deeply BELIEVE that, for example, poor people in this country are poor because evil rich people keep them down. They believe that the UN is composed of crusading heroes interested in doing good for the world. They believe that huge gov. and huge taxes leads inevitably to stellar econ. performance. They believe that every single Mexican and African on the face of the Earth should be living here RIGHT NOW, and that this would be good for the country. So, the leadership might be evil and crafty, but the rank and file are simply sick and delusional with a kindergartner's grasp of reality.

There is a dichotomy on the left - the "take care of me" sheep "liberals", and the "we know best" shepherd "liberals" -

neither are interested in the true freedom, ie, classical (real) liberalism that our founders believed in.

OK. Break it down. Who are the people who support the Libs.

1) The poor. Liberalism promises money for nothing. Yes, they are stupid to believe that, but greed is their motivating factor. The evil greed, not the desire to earn one's way and keep the rewards for your own use.

Liberalism works for them, at least in the short-term and for the first in line.

2) The politicians. I think we agree, here so I won't say more.

3) Those that suck on the government teats such as bureaucrats, educators, subsidized artists, whore scientists after the grant, etc. Again greed. The evil greed.

4) The glitterati such a Babs Streisand, and Algore, and the rest, who use liberal nostrums such as the "green" or "animal rights" movements to
A)reduce the numbers of the "great unwashed" and
B)increase the separation between them and us
until "A" can be accomplished.

My personal opinion is that the entire global warming fiasco is about saving the beach houses of the rich.

Yeah, I agree, the rank and file are stupid, ignorant, or both. Not just intellectually, but also emotionally.

But you know what they say about conning an honest man? You can't do it. The rank and file are evil, too. I come reluctantly to this conclusion, but I have finally come to it. They do what they do for selfish reasons, only, no matter what they tell themselves, and us.
