I think this is the heart of the problem with the Left. They actually DO think that human nature has changed, or can be made to change. Enlightened leaders can solve problems on behalf of the masses. Those leaders will get it right ... this time.
A Christian worldview (which the Left does not have) would reinforce the idea that we all have a flawed nature, and our leaders cannot really make any better choices than we can ourselves.
The overweening confidence of people like Obama is frequently the cause of trouble.
Give that man a cigar!
same old queestion
are the leftists stupid or evil?
(most days i think both)
vdh is a saint and a hero ( as well as a scholar).
“I think this is the heart of the problem with the Left. They actually DO think that human nature has changed, or can be made to change.”
The emphasis is on society and environment with the Lefties - they think if you change the water the goldfish will change. Poor analogy on my part, but they don’t know anything about human nature or history. Their Communist masters do, but they’re not telling - yet.
