It is hard to define liberalism but it is fairly simple to define liberals.
The ability to process reality is the attribute that separates conservatives from liberals. Processing reality requires that a time line be maintained and that possible unintended consequences be considered. Liberals are unable to openly do this. I say openly because I believe there must exist some who can process reality but whose agenda benefits from keeping their ability to process reality secret from the liberal sheep.
Liberalism is then explained by the theory that a liberal is a person who lacks the gene required to process reality.
This theory does not extent to those whose agenda derives power from the constant shearing of the liberal sheep. The liberal sheep are easily led because the real agendas’ are easily hidden from those who cannot process reality.
Examples supporting this theory are abundant.
Would a person who can process reality support the notion of subsidizing, taxing, regulating, and then suing a product manufacturer?
Would a person who can process reality support the notion that adding more money to education will improve its quality but adding educational choice will not?
Would a person who can process reality support the notion that some people CANNOT be trusted and at the same time believe that they can write laws those same people will abide by because they CAN be trusted?
Would a person who can process reality agree to divert tax-payer funds from welfare recipients to spent on lawyers hired to sue gun manufacturers?
A liberal talk show would be of immense value to the nation. I applaud the efforts underway to bring this urgently needed expression to the American airways, as I am most anxious to see if the results confirm my theory.
I believe it is human nature to want something for nothing but it is the liberal who expects something for nothing.
