Don Feder on liberal wackadoos and their impossible beliefs. Preposterous, illogical and impossible. Just like out of Alice In Wonderland.

Pretty well written, I’m gonna put that on a forum I’m on with a couple of Soviets and see their answers.

Conflicts are due to misunderstandings....In the liberal weltanschauung, folks are folks. Conflict is due to our failure to understand the terrorists, who want the same things we want. (Haven't we all had the urge to blow up a 747 in mid-flight?)

Great article. Now I understand why so many liberals like Star Trek. Thanks for posting it!

Guns don't kill people. Liberal ideas do.

Whitmore orders the brass, "Nuke the bastards!" - making the fastest transition on record from liberal to conservative.

Faster even than Dennis Miller.

Awesome and pretty comprehensive. I’d have loved to add something about the way liberals can believe the Constitution says the opposite of its actual statements (especially in the case of the First Amendment saying religions should not have an effect on government rather than the opposite, but many other examples abound) ... but other than that quibble, this is a great article.

Didn’t the libs used to refer to “Through the Looking Glass” a lot?

I like Star Trek, too... But I happen to recognize it is fiction - and even doubt that we’ll ever discover a means for faster-than-light travel: an essential precondition for the show.

“Believe it or not, there is a relationship between the spiraling cost of medical services and the fact that government spends one of every three health-care dollars. Hillary-care is a prescription for runaway costs, waste, bureaucracy and rationing - in other words, the health-care systems of Canada and the United Kingdom, where, if you’re over 65, you can die waiting for a hip replacement or dialysis.”

WOOT!

‘How can any adult with an IQ above room temperature believe the above absurdities? ‘

Easy, they just relabel themselves as ‘progressives’.....(chuckle)

Or some pretend to be ‘libertarians’ in my experience....of course they can’t explain how a liberatarian believes in gun control...

What you're thinking about is this: Liberals believe the Constitution is a living, breathing document, and should be updated periodically to reflect society's "needs."

Thanks for posting this. Well written.

5. Global warming is man-made. Of course it is. That’s why they were growing crops in Greenland 1,000 year ago - because of global warming caused by carbon-dioxide emissions from all of the 11th century cars and factories.
***Nice little zinger that sorta wraps up the whole Global Warming nonsense in 1 sentence.

LOL! This really sums it up.

How can any adult with an IQ above room temperature believe the above absurdities?

To a liberal, the ability to see as possible something that others see as impossible is a sign of brilliance, regardless of whether the thing in question actually is possible.

Further, to the extent that the world fails to behave as their world view says it should indicates not that their view is defective, but rather that the world is (since their view is better than the world, the defect must lie with the clearly-inferior world).

There's a considerable "Emperor's New Clothes" to liberalism, that appears in many fields. People who are convinced that it's desirable to see things are apt to see them whether it exists or not. Further, they may well believe the desirability of seeing such things is independent of their actual existence.

As a hobby, I try to make old microprocessor systems do the impossible. Sometimes I spend a few hours figuring an approach which "should" work, but I try it out on real hardware and it doesn't. No matter how much I may wish that the real hardware would behave as I want, though, I recognize that the problem is with what I'm trying to do; it may or may not be possible, but certainly not the way I'm currently trying to do it.
