It’s called FACISM.

I think that I sort of understand where all the anger of the left comes from...
Something that I’ve observed over the years is that conservatives look upon the “rank and file” of the left as well meaning, but misdirected people who want good things to happen, but are going about it the wrong way...
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. Who are simply trying to do good. And they see conservatives as people who are putting up road blocks as far as getting those changes enacted.
It’s a very short step in seeing conservatives as not just seeing things a different way, but in opposing what the left wants, they’re opposing that which is good, hence conservatives are bad, or even evil.
And it doesn’t help when they get beaten when their ideas are put up for votes (they think either that the vote was rigged, or “the masses” simply don’t know what’s good for them), or their plans wind up screwing things up worse than they were before (those damned conservatives didn’t let us implement it completely, or the wrong people tried implementing it)... Either of these adds to their anger...

leftists do not think, they emote.
they judge everything by appearances, not by facts.
If lower taxes result in greater revenues for government, why do big-government liberals oppose tax cuts?
They answer is that taxes weaken the economy and inflict pain on business. By promising selective tax relief, a politician can extort campaign contributions or support for dubious projects.
A weak economy is useful if it can be blamed on the other party. If the opposing party is in the White House, they get the blame.
Many of the lefties I talk to (not always willingly or welcomed)get into spitting fits over the so-called right wing religious zealots who ‘want to make everybody worship God’ (capitalization mine, of course!), and of course they hate it that President Bush is a Christian.
Funny, you’d think the aim of the muzzies, to put us all under Sharia law, would get to them in the same way, but it doesn’t!

Liberals are almost always bitter, hate-Filled little people ....
Think about the Liberals YOU know....
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....
That rage translates into borderline insanity, and a desire to be confrontational to everything, without regard for whatever damage it might do.
They hate the boss, they hate the landlord, they hate the cop that stopped them from trolling for boys in the park, etc,etc...
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.
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.
It’s almost like a different species, they are so uncivilized
Just wanted to repeat it.
All of this Leftist anger is more understandable when you realize that the purpose of socialism is not equal prosperity, but equal suffering, pain, and death.
They won’t be happy until they’re supervising the killing fields.
Mash here folks...

“I feel entitled to more. I feel it is my right - due to my intellectual superiority - to lead a thrilling, rewarding, kaleidoscopic life. I feel entitled to force life itself, or, at least, people around me - to yield to my wishes and needs, supreme among them the need for stimulating variety.
This rejection of habit is part of a larger pattern of aggressive entitlement. I feel that the very existence of a sublime intellect (such as myself) warrants concessions and allowances. Standing in line is a waste of time best spent pursuing knowledge, inventing and creating. I should avail myself of the best medical treatment proffered by the most prominent medical authorities - lest the asset that is I be lost to Mankind. I should not be bothered with proofreading my articles (or even re-reading them) - these lowly jobs best be assigned to the less gifted. The devil is in paying precious attention to details.
Entitlement is sometimes justified in a Picasso or an Einstein. But I am neither. My achievements are grotesquely incommensurate with my overwhelming sense of entitlement. I am but a mediocre and forgettable scribbler who, at the age of 39, is a colossal under-achiever, if anything.
Of course, the feeling of supremacy often serves to mask a cancerous complex of inferiority. Moreover, I infect others with my projected grandiosity and their feedback constitutes the edifice upon which I construct my self-esteem. I regulate my sense of self-worth by rigidly insisting that I am above the madding crowd while deriving my Narcissistic Supply from this very thus despised source.
But there is a second angle to this abhorrence of the predictable. As a narcissist, I employ a host of Emotional Involvement Prevention Mechanisms (EIPM). Despising routine and avoiding it is one of these mechanisms. Their function is to prevent me from getting emotionally involved and, subsequently, hurt. Their application results in an “approach-avoidance repetition complex”. The narcissist, fearing and loathing intimacy, stability and security - yet craving them - approaches and then avoids significant others or important tasks in a rapid succession of apparently inconsistent and disconnected behaviours.”
It’s also amazing how illiberal these leftists are. True liberals tolerate, even encourage debate. They would want the people of Afghanistan and Iraq to be free. They wouldn’t tolerate the government telling us what to eat or think. These aren’t really liberals, they’re leftists.
Thanks for posting Dr. Sowell’s brilliant observations! He gets it right, yet again!
The Left is perpetually angry because they view themselves as superior, and cannot understand how they keep losing to inferiors.
