Go to any meeting of shrinks and you will find at least 8 out of ten are hard core liberals. All employees or contractual EES with an HMO and all believe the government is going to fund mental health no matter what it takes.
Liberalism is now the reigning secular religion. The core supporters are those with more than a college degree and likely to rely on government for part or all of their income.
This is a tough hurdle for Senator McCain. 300 million for Obama would be a conservative number. They are convinced he can win, WOT will end, the environment and climate will be saved and so on and so on.
Disheartening and sickening. It’s hard to argue with someone who is not restricted by logical thought.
Your post just reminded me of a conversation I had with my sister, I had posted before:
It isn’t often I can speak my mind and heart openly. Since I live in Southern California any demonstration of common sense and patriotism is quickly stomped on by people around me. I was trying to have an intelligent conversation with my sister the other day, attempting to explain to her what the difference between Liberalism and Conservatism is, she had no idea and the realization of the truth made her angry with my political stance. She works in the social field, thus is flooded with cries for help from the poorest of the poor for the government’s help. In her eyes the government is the only answer.
When I explained to her that the government’s money is OUR money, all the taxes they wage on us, all the money they spend comes from private sectors, she was stunned. She had not realized where the money was actually coming from. This did not change her mind though.
She quickly demanded from me, if the government does not provide me with a paycheck, who will? If the government does not help those poor people who will? She criticized me again for standing with conservatives saying that I have forgotten where I come from and who I am. I told her that my stance is directly linked to where I come from. I’m from Nicaragua, I was born in a communist state, so was she. I attempted to explain that the reason why we are in the USA is because of the radical stance of the Liberal government and every step we take towards Obama or Hillary is closer towards a state that made my family seek refuge in the United States.
