There is much truth in your statement. Liberals are so caught up
in what they imagine conservatism to be that they really fail to
understand reality. I have an old friend who teaches high school
AP history. He and his wife live like conservatives but vote like libs.
He brags that he is so objective that students don’t know if he is
a Rep or a Dem. I asked him about his class resources for the
conservative POV and he actually mentioned the LA Times, News-
week, Time, etc. I told him it would take about a minute for an
adult garden variety conservative to poke a hole in his “objectiv-
ity”.
It is like trying to explain how cutting taxes INCREASES revenues to the government. it happens only every time it is tried. Starting with JFK, who I love to bring up to the libs.
Their beliefs are like religion. They know it to be true despite no empirical evidence to support their beliefs.
