‘’Those on the other side may have different arguments. However, the question here is not why the left has different arguments, but why there is such anger.’’..........And have you noticed the anger is often accompanied with , screeching, spitting, and pie throwing, if you dare to disagree with their point of view? My friend the other night at a dinner party stated she did not believe in global warming. Well she was virtually attacked for her views with claims from some liberals at the table...’’The debate is over, THE DEBATE IS OVER!You must live green now! Several of them actually jumped up from the table and left saying they would not eat with her. What is the matter with these idiots!?

On the other hand, the left typically look at themselves as people who only want the best for others: Who are trying to make changes in society to make the world a better place for everyone.

that is the idealized way they "want" us to view them. In reality, the left is obsessed with power. Almost everyone I know who is far left, are people with evil in their hearts. The left's ideal world is a totalitarian dictatorship with them in charge. Even then their hatred would only grow. They would be the equal of Stalin or Hitler. Power in the hands of the left is power in the hands of evil.

May I suggest a slight change to your excellent comments.

For the Left, any one who rejects their control leadership over the masses is an enemy.

I believe Dr. Sowell nailed it again with this column, the rage of many on the left really started coming out since the 2000 election and it’s building.

Please remember that I purposely said "rank and file" liberals. I was specifically excluding the leaders on the left. Because, as you, I see them as dangerous ideologues who are obsessed with power.

Short, fat, ugly people of questionable sexuality, enraged at the world for some percieved slight or insult, like the non-acceptance of gays, thier tiny schlong, or they were beaten by the jocks in high school while the pretty girls laughed...."

You are exactly right...You can spot them driving their cars (usually 1976 Volvo's with Jimmy Carter bumper stickers), in stores, any where. They don't even have to speak. You can see the hatred in their faces. It has consumed them and ruined their lives. The women are easier to spot though, with their unshaven legs and armpits.

yes, and I agree with you. You made excellent points. I guess I am just so frustrated with the leftists in Congress and the MSM. I don't understand how the rank and file liberals don't see the damage that Hillary, Pelosi etal are doing to our Republic. Maybe they just turn a blind eye to the evil of their leaders.

No, entitlement to power is their MO. They would rather do away with elections alltogether. Why participate in something where the rules say you may lose?

“What is surprising, however, is how often the opinions of those on the left are accompanied by hostility and even hatred.”

Nobody who has ever seen a spoiled brat in full tantrum mode can be surprised at the mindset of the typical Prog.

The reason they’re like this? They’ve never been taught to think, they’ve never been taught self-restraint and they’ve never learned that Actions have Consequences.

This is why they must ultimately fail - they have no chance in the long term against disciplined opposition.

Liberalism, in Ten Easy Steps!
(from: The People’s Cube)

Things EVERY Liberal should know:
-How to stage a coup
-How going backwards is progress
-How to empathize with foreign extremists without leaving Starbucks
-How to change the world through activist reporting
-How to defend freedom by abusing and disparaging it
-How to make Bush Derangement Syndrome appear like responsible journalism
-How not to confuse the hammer and sickle with a swastika
-How to root for the underdog who is a Jew-bashing fascist
-How to always lean to the left while reporting from overseas
-How to shoot in the wrong direction and hurt the cause you think you are defending.
-How to oppose dictatorship with misleading information about the true nature of tyranny and oppression.
-How to reach a compromise with evil and lose

IMHO, if/when conservatives “take to the streets” there wont be many liberals left afterwards.

anger or negligence? anger or stupidity? anger or naive? What metaphor must you use? Lets not use any. They are simply as Red Foreman would say, “dumbasses!”

If Short, fat, ugly people of questionable sexuality made up the bulk of liberals who are screwing up our country, their numbers would be fewer.

Liberals come in all shapes, sizes, colors and religions. Those leading the pack know exactly what their agenda is. Their followers---those they managed to brainwash---are incapable of seeing the long-range effects.

When conservatives put out warnings that the country, as we know it, is heading for destruction, liberals may see us as Chicken Little and "The sky is falling!"

But unlike Chicken Little, the clear evidence has been all around this country for at least forty years and has consistently grown worse.

Without some drastic action, e.g., conservatives fighting actively, fearlessly, and in unison, it appears that this administration will continue to ignore us.

Liberals are almost always bitter, hate-Filled little people ....
Think about the Liberals YOU know....

Absolutely true. There were two people at work (one retired) who were as left as can be and they were the most spiteful, bitter, hateful people I've known in a long time. One has his credit cards all maxed out and will no doubt file for bankruptcy. The other uses her position to bully people who have no means to defend themselves. Both are truly pathetic excuses for humans.

If I could count on that, I wouldn't give a thought, for instance, to the fear of Madame Hillary becoming President Clinton.

I would also rest in the believe that, in a few years or so, all illegal aliens will be deported to their native countries and our now-open borders will be effectively closed.

I'll save time and space by not mentioning all the other hot issues, but we all know what they are.

It’s more a matter of dominance and submission than substance. The schoolyard bully is allowed to vent his anger, his victims are not. The left’s ideas control the institutions of power in this country, particularly the media, they won’t face serious sanctions for displays of anger, starting with crucifixion in the press.

Many years ago in school (around 7th or 8th grade, I think), during a discussion of the Vietnam war, I said that the quickest way to end the war would be to win it.

Several people jumped out of their chairs to scream at me.

They haven't changed.
