Why Are Leftists Such Pansies?
PJ Media ^ | December 6, 2016 | Andrew Klavan

Posted on 12/08/2016 6:31:56 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Many times we accuse our political opponents of crimes of which we ourselves are equally guilty. Neither the left nor the right has a monopoly on dishonesty, hypocrisy, or hyperbole. But there is at least one unpleasant trait that seems to reside almost exclusively in the hearts of leftists: a puling hysterical weakness in the face of setbacks and defeat.

I think President Barack Obama is the worst president of my lifetime: an incompetent ideologue who made the world and the country worse. The economy is not as bad as it was directly after the crash, but it is much, much worse than it would have been had it not been weighted down with Dodd-Frank regulation and the anvil of Obamacare. Racial tension is worse, the national spirit is worse, the wars in the Middle East are worse, our nation's place in the world is worse, our federal institutions are more politicized and corrupt — all because Obama simply did not know how reality worked and would not change his mind.

I knew all this was true or would be true by 2012, and when Obama was reelected over Mitt Romney, a much wiser, more adult, and steadier hand, I was dismayed. I was saddened. I was even distraught.

But I did not become a sniveling, whiny, self-obsessed pansy. I did not, that is to say, behave like leftists are behaving now....

They stop being pansies as soon as they're sure their opposition is disarmed.

Then they're hell on wheels.

But the left? Never mind the college snowflakes who can't even hear an idea they disagree with without retreating to a safe space. What about the adults? The New York Times, a former newspaper, now reads like a 12-year-old girls' sleepover after a mouse got in. It's embarrassing. "How to Cope With Trump?" "Trump's Threat to the Constitution?" "Trump's Agents of Idiocracy!"

The guy hasn't even done anything yet!



HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

NTOW ! !

It’s their character deficits that incline them to believe in leftist ideology in the first place.

Because they are pansies. QED.

Because many think it’s ‘cool’ to suffer for your principals.
Many will equate the amount of suffering with the value and veracity of your beliefs. It’s difficult to explain to someone how illogical and damaging this correlation is.
They don’t want to hear it, and may not for many years.

There was a common expression when I was a kid. “They can dish it out but can’t take it”.

I guess it is still used sometimes and is an accurate description of liberals.

Leftwing men are often so effeminate it is puzzling if heterosexual leftwing women are attracted to them.

Well, you can go and call them pansies all you want, but ask yourself whose ideology has been winning for the last several decades. Who’s worse, the pansy or the one who lets the pansy bully him into giving up his values and country?

Good read! The author's answer to his question:

A leftist? He floats in a candy-cane cloud of self-congratulating self-reinforcement. Hollywood, the news media, academia, they all tell him: "You're smart. You're good. You're right. You're nice. You're going to win the election. Anyone can see that. How could you lose? Anyone who disagrees with you is bad, stupid, mean, wicked."

No wonder these people whine and cry when things don't go their way. Spending their days in a pink haze of bias, how could they ever have seen it coming?

And a nice closer:

It's like being stuck on an airplane with a crying baby. Grow up. Or at least stick your thumb in your mouth and keep it down. You're making so much noise it's hard for me to enjoy your suffering.

Okay, it's not that hard.

we are very lucky that American leftists are not like Hugo Chavez or Fidel Castro.

This essay is hilarious! Being around Trump-hating leftists is like being stuck on a long airplane ride with fifty crying babies.

Have leftists been pansies for the last several decades?
