Granted, a great many of them are useful idiots who simply have no clue.

If you recognize people in three classes:

1. Those who want to let others take care of (and control) them.
2. Those who want to control their own lives.
3. Those who want to control others.

then many things will start to make sense. Today's "left" is an alliance of #1 and #3; the people in group #3 want to keep others in group #1. Recognize that, and it will become quite clear why "the party that cares about the poor" [Democrats] has the richest donors.

True, and the one both of the others hates to death is #2, the ones who only want to control their own lives.

I can at least imagine why some weaklings want to be nannied, but I have never understood why anyone would want to run someone else's life. Don't they have anything of their own to do?
