My leftie past makes me cringe when I think about it. Where once I was blind, now I can see.

John-GREAT ARTICLE! Good synopsis of leftist thinking. And I loved the last part-WOW!

A question I've been asking lately is, after all the (countless) time these jerks have been wrong why do people still listen to them, other than the comedy value they are just a waste of prefectly good dna.
Seriously I been trying to think of when they've been right about anything in the last..oh say 40 yrs?

Excellent article, enhanced by thought provoking posts. One thing I have noticed, Bill Moyers is one that comes to mind, is the leftists/liberals have for the past decade done everything in their power to simply appear to be "mainstream". Their strategy, as the DNC has made obvious to most, has been to try an shift the publics entire frame of reference to the left, by demonizing the right. There are extremist right wingers, but they are few and not in the mainstream of American life. We have all heard about how Clinton was a "moderate" until we want to throw things at the TV set. This facade had not been well maintained, and is falling away as of late. The atrocity of 9/11 seems to have literally smoked out some of the more leftist-anti American types, and they appear rather naked and foolish standing alone in the spotlight. Moyer's silly "Taliban" comments come to mind... a bit of a shock to some who might have given the man more credit, for not being a leftist and thereby not merely a mouthpiece for standard leftist talking points.

I commented yesterday, on a thread about why there are so many liberal women, that it is because they don't think, they "feel".

The author misses a major point in the article, though. The liberal "feel good" message has a purpose, control. Everything that the elite left says or does is aimed at control of the masses. It is much easier to appeal to the emotions, than it is to appeal to the logic of the masses. Logic is anathema to the left.

If you look at some of the causes that the left embraces you can easily see that their true purpose is control and that environmentalism, women's rights (abortion), animal rights, social welfare are merely the tools. The left creates emotional hysteria to convince the weak (minded) that they are the victims of a selfish society gone wrong, that they must pass legislation to control those stronger elements of society which are moving ahead and leaving them behind.

The left has devised an ingenious plan to secure power. They are using all the emotional issues that they can engender to force the population into the cities where they can be more easily controlled and where the elections can be more easily controlled as well, thus ensuring themselves of a lengthy tenure.
