“ an embarrassment to anybody with half a brain “
Don’t see what the problem is - Liberals (by definition, ‘half a brain’) are incapable of embarrassment...
Right. To feel embarrassment, one must accept at least a few of the "norms" of society, one must at least feel like they are a part of the larger society to some extent.
Liberals, who by and large are, in the present time, extreme left-wing radicals, reject society. They reject pretty much everything about the Western concepts of work, self-reliance, achievment, the rule of law, etc., etc.
For that reason, they can't be embarrassed. They feel that they are at war with everything, with reality.
The fact that, in most places in the world, placing onesself in opposition to society in general will get you persecuted, imprisoned, even tortured and killed... doesn't faze them in the least. The fact that they are protected and nurtured by forces and institutions within our society isn't seen by them as anything to be thankful for. It's seen as a symptom of the weakness and susceptibility of our society. It's an invitation for further mayhem, as license for destruction.
These people are truly delusional; as we've seen in the Occupy movement, not a few of them are actually quite mad.
They are the useful idiots that every communist insurrection needs to gain power. As soon as they take power, they are swept aside by the real revolutionaries. As another Freeper said earlier this week: "they live their last moments staring into a mass grave, saying to themselves what's happening? what did I do wrong?"
