I dont travel in liberal circles much, so last night was a real eye-opener as to how much this country is in deep doo-doo.
I went to my brothers house (Marin County, CA) for our familys annual Dungeness crab feast. Its no secret in my family that my political position is hard starboard at flank speed, so out of deference to the occasion I made a personal vow not to steer the conversation to current events.
Alas, my best intentions were scuttled by my brothers neighbor lady let slip a snarky comment about Sarah Palin not believing in global warming.
I am beyond trying to reason with folks like this. Mentally, I am at the next phase, as I believe the time to dialog with ignorant 8-yr olds is past.
These are the people we will face on the field of battle when the Civil War comes. However, I get the feeling that the 69th light infantry and felching brigade will call in with the sniffles on the eve of battle, so no worries!
I get that “Palin is a bad mother” from my Mom, who turned 89 this year. She’s another one who gets her info from the MSM and the local lib rag in Santa Rosa. She is completely convinced that Cheney is evil incarnate.
It’s distressing to me that that a member of the “greatest generation” who’s husband was a decorated veteran of Normandy could be brainwashed by the MSM.
I cut her slack because of her age.
Actually Sarah didn’t say she didn’t believe in global warming - she said she saw the effects of warming and took action (I don’t remember exactly what) but she assigned a group to look into what was going on in Alaska. She just isn’t sure it’s caused by people.
The uninformed, like this closed minded social worker, are taking this country down a horrible path.
Too bad they don’t get paid according to the free market demand for their services like everyone in the private sector does.
There would be a lot fewer of them, and maybe then they’d see that most of the “underprivileged” are where they are because of their own choices and behaviors.
We won’t ever be looking over our sights at these people.
Remember, they expect the gov’t to do all their dirty work. They’ll demand that the feds “bring the rebels under control”, but they’ll never pick up a weapon themselves.
I can relate to your suffering, with my own crew of truly demented liberal in-laws.
All totally programmed by CNN, MSNBC, CBS and the NY Times.
She thinks she knows on which side her bread is buttered. She failed to notice that in reality there is no butter actually there.
“My dinner with a brainless liberal last night
Do we really have to include the word ‘brainless’?
Isn’t that pretty much implied when a liberal is the subject?”
You’re right of course, sorry for pointing out the obvious. LOL!
My son and his wife live in SF and sound like your family.
Thanks to FR I usually win arguments with him - when we have them - we mostly try to avoid politics.
My husband has cousins who were born and raised in Walnut Creek CA. We do not visit. One of them comes to Texas occasionally, we don’t talk politics. One of them has told me to never contact him again, he he! Just the results I was after.
Sure you can. You encourage 'em not to breed.
“No thinking is required to be a Democrat.”
That would make a great bumper sticker!
On the door going from the garage into the kitchen I have a sign that reads:
“Vote Democrat So We Can All Be Poor Together”
I wont change, Im a social worker, you know.
Bet she is divorced.
“Sometimes I think our only hope is that it will be “cool” to vote for the conservative candidate.”
I like to point out that we are the NEW COUNTER-CULTURE.
I bet she’s a “bitter single female” who blames all the world’s ills on “angry white men”.
I thought you said she was a “professional”. But then there is little difference between sexual worker and social worker. Three letters by my count!
The irony is that most of us in the U.S. of european ancestry are decendants of some of the most poorest class of people that ever roamed the earth. To say somehow that we “euros” came over to America and exploited anybody is laughable and down right completely wrong.
This is what I have come to learn. Liberals are deeply religious people. They hold a deep, deep abiding faith. They hold an almost unshakable belief in global warming and in government doing “honest” good through redistributing your wealth. They fully believe that, left to individuals, they are not “caring enough”, or “smart enough” to make what they hold as the right decisions. Therefore someone else (liberals) should be in charge of doing it for you. For the good of humanity. That is their faith.
It is a type of faith that they hold to the point of being completely enslaved into dogma. To be a true believer you have to wholly submit and subscribe to the groupthink, and anyone who dares stray from their strict dogma are heretics, fools, and worthy of burning at the stake for their error.
Liberals are some of the most intolerant people you will ever run across. If you don’t subscribe to their faith their group will circle the wagons and actively seek to expunge you and crush you to prevent a possible spreading defection of their clan that truth and light could bring.
If you view this in a dispassionate way you can clearly see how totally taken over these people are. They cannot defend their beliefs with any measure of fact. They hate Sarah Palin, because others hate her and so they feel this is the right response for them even they have no way of justifying it. This is exactly how liberals work. And that is exactly how their whole faith-based system works, from globull warming to socialism.
Exactly.
