Thanks. Excellent article, too. C. S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton said as much, but it certainly bears repeating, and in a current context.

>NOW continued to support Bill Clinton....because they knew they could rely on him to support abortion.

It’s much more than that. This is an ancient war within our species, between two Darwinian survival strategies, which compete with each other.

Check my profile for the real origin of Liberalism, why they hate us and freedom, and why we can never get along. I wrote a whole book on it, but everything you need to know is on my profile page.

Thanks, donna—but I already know the meaning of misandry. The point of my original response to you was that that is not a releant or fair charge, IMO, in the case of this article.

>one of their greatest desires is to be superior.

I have extensive experience with this psychology, and I will tell you, this is not a desire. It is a need. There is a wiring defect in their brain, which will “short out,” if they are forced to confront what they truly are, and it is agony to them.

This is what people talk about with the Narcisist, and their adherance to a “False Reality.” The Narcisist does not divorce themselves from reality and create a false reality (where they are great) because that is what they want to believe. It is due to a fundamental inability to confront reality. If you ever see a narcisist’s world collapse around them because they cannot confront reality and adjust to it, this is why it happens. The Narcisist finds it easier to let their world collapse, and rewrite the story in their head. To confront what they are is just too painful. Of course this gives us access to a profound achilles heel in teh modern Liberal, is our leaders would just be bright enough to exploit it.

As I wrote on my profile, “This Imaginary “Superiority” is indescribably important to them psychologically, as evidenced by it’s emergence wherever Anticompetitive movements to oppress have developed. Whether it is the Nazis, and their “Aryan Superiority” over the inferior Jews, the KKK and their “White Superiority” over “inferior Black Americans,” the Divine Right of Kings over their inferior peasants, or merely the Liberal’s innate “Intellectual and Moral Superiority” over their inferior Conservative opponents, all instances of the Anticompetitive oppression of free competitions among men have the same theme. A weak, cowardly, and immoral loser, who would be destroyed in free competition, demanding the right to shut down all competitions through force of government and call the outcomes themselves, based upon their Imaginary Superiority over an inferior enemy. If this theory spreads, it will strip the Liberal of their Imaginary Superiority, and expose them as the envious and cheating losers we all know they are. Thus exposed, they will be extraordinarily averse to publicly advocating on behalf of their odious ideology of oppression. “

Misandry drips off the author.

> I’ll take issue with one part. I think Todd is a little more successful than you give him credit for. He is a hero in Alaska, more popular than she is with some folk.

Point 1 - the deconstruction I posted was written by John Ringo, not by me.

Point 2 - John was not actually claiming that things are the way he describes - he was saying that women outside of Alaska have the following perceptions of Sarah Palin, which affect the way they feel about her, and contribute to many of them having an extreme hatred for her.
