There certainly seem to be a lot of descendants of eastern European immigrants among prominent anti-American writers. I wonder what the story is with that. Anyone have any ideas?
Not eastern european immigrants per se, but rather eastern european immigrants of Jewish extraction. It remains a mystery to me why so many Jews tend toward socialistic ideals. Even more puzzling to me is their attitude towards defense of Israel. I have a very good Jewish friend/colleague whose grandparents were communists and he is decidedly leftwing himself. David Horowitz=another example, but he saw the light.
Jooos?
Liberalism is thus not a political ideology or set of beliefs. It is an envy-deflection device, a psychological strategy to avoid being envied.
It is possible to perceive the passions of the Left as frenzies of masochism. What could be more idiotic and masochistic than to oppose missile defense? This opposition cannot be understood unless one dispenses with its rhetoric and rationales and realizes that these folks at their emotional core do not want their country defended.
The lunacy of the "global warming" hoax cannot be comprehended other than that its masochistic advocates do not want their civilization to prosper. The culture-destroying immigration policies that Pat Buchanan warns are causing "The Death of the West" were put in place by those who do not want their culture to survive.
See David Horowitz’s book, “Radical Son”. In it, he talks about how many “red diaper babies”-children of immigrant parents from eastern bloc countries who were enthralled by socialism and communism. Another reason to be wary of immigration, IMO.
Those intellectuals did not originate the self hate rituals those disgusting rites had been in place for centuries, but they were smart enough to pile on and profit from them.
