Now tell me, is this a trick question?
I think intellectual bankruptcy is a symptom of a larger problem. Liberalism is a cult of personality. The techniques used to obtain followers is no different than what the tyrants throughout history used.
Take any cult and just for a moment think about how they get followers. A sense of belonging, a message that makes perfect sense and a figure to blame. For kids it’s the parets. For liberals it’s the Conservatves. The message is clear. World peace, clean air and water, no poverty, no hatred. But it’s the Conservatives who are causing it.
Now here’s the thing. While all of this is going on, what are the actual purveyors of this doing? Are they practicing it? No. They are looting the treasury. Take a college professor. Is he intellectually bankrupt? No. His gig is in exchange for getting young people ii to the cult, he gets tenure.
I submit to my FReeper friends that the DNC and it’s global affiliates is nothing more than a criminal organization, using the cult of liberalism as a front
