The article is right-on. It is *crucial* to understand what this article is saying.
In order to defeat Liberalism, we must understand it. Why are Liberals so irrational? Why do they behave in such a controlling manner? Why do people — especially Hollywood types and academics — become Liberals?
It is a Psychology, but I often think it’s innate. There are exceptions, but you can often (not always) tell who is a Liberal just by looking at them.
Again, in order to defeat Liberalism, we must understand it. Once we understand it, we can begin to reason with the fringes and bring them over to our side and we can prevent kids from being brainwashed into it.

liberal vs conservative nowdays boils down to romantic vs classic thought.
The romantic mind views the world and life as a series of good and bad sensations and stimuli that effect the individual...and the amount of pleasure is dependent on selecting the correct sensations.
The classic mind views the world as a series of problems or puzzles to be solved and pleasure comes from success in solving them.
The classic mind thrives in robust and challenging environments that are full of possibilities, while the romantic mind thrives in mild garden-of-eden-like environments. Southern france, hawaii, spain, the california coast...these are places where one finds the romantic mind. Denmark, norway, scotland, american midwest...this is where the classic mind flourishes.
The classic mind toils and derives pleasure from toil and is less interested in feedback of others. The romantic mind craves constant feedback of others.
