Despite irrefutable evidence that their calcified positions are destructive if not deadly, why do liberals also cling to "progressive" policies that chain people to their government, restrict gun ownership, kill unborn children and destroy families?

Socialism is a religion...I would say a cult....in many ways not unlike Islam.

It’s been my observation that Liberals generally overpay to obtain inferior quality Mexican marijuana infused with animal droppings.

["Liberals, meanwhile, were found to be "relatively disorganized, indecisive and perhaps overly drawn to ambiguity" but "more responsive to informational complexity, ambiguity and novelty."]

Kinda like children.

But then again, children's mistakes don't end up killing 200 million people. So there must be something else going on. Single-minded, delusional madness is most likely the case.

Simple just follow the money!

Entire industries were created that exist off the dole. How else will we be able to provide jobs to all those liberal studies graduates. Where would they go if all the funds would simply dissapear tomorrow?

Liberalism is a self fullfilling prophecy. Those that have bought into this state of mind are so deeply invested in it that even if they see the errors in their ways (don't hold your breath it takes self-criticism to do so which is not in the liberal lexicon!) cannot turn back thus are more and more likely to spout liberal dogma. Without statistical proof, I would wager that there is a perfectly positive correllary between those that depend on gov't funding for their employment and the degree of liberalism they truely practice.

Bet's anyone?

Funny the liberal I encountered last night jumped all over me just for announcing an upcoming CAIR event.
He had no facts or”reality” in which to substaniate his fantasy of conservatives being “Nazis” and CAIR et all
being innocents.The opposite of course is true, proving once again that facts and reality are just meaningless
words to leftists.

Hey what happened to my brain when I rejected the leftist
idiotology that I once agreed with ?

When one sees and knows the truth, one’s mind is made up, therefore having a an ‘open mind’ is foolish.

Conservatives know the truth, so their minds are made up. While liberals aren’t sure about anything and their minds are fip-flopping mush ready to adhere to any cockamamie theory that fits with their idealistic hopes of the way things are or should be.

"But it only would heighten the tragedy if it should prove that what was promised to us as the Road to Freedom was in fact the High Road to Servitude."

Liberals and leftists all over the world have abandoned the word "freedom" since this was written in 1944. Now it's just pure envy, with the promise to destroy the productive after they have been looted of their possessions. Sometimes, the destruction is via "progressive" taxation, sometimes a bullet.

In either case, the high priests of this religion live very well on the 80% of the loot they skim off for themselves before letting the rest trickle down to their "stakeholders".

“These and other liberal positions are consistent with the socialist world view, and socialism has failed every time it’s been tried:”

I remember hearing Rush say in an answer to this kind of statement; “Socialism has not failed every time, as long as you are one of those at the top” and this is exactly where the demonrat leaders wanna be.

They could’nt care less about the poor masses unless they get to be in charge.

What liberals refuse to recognize:
(1)the global collapse of socialism
(2)the birth of plenty during the age of reason
(3)the steady rise in the standard of living of the average person in the capitalist countries since the age of enlightenment and the beginning of the industrial revolution.

Their irrational prescientific demonolgical worldview and their obsession with the rediculously flawed Marxist exploitation theory blinds them and makes it impossible for them to see the truth.
