Not young ones, they haven't had time or experience enough to see that most liberal concepts like equality, socialism, gun free societies, and all the rest of it are dead ends and fairy tales.
I'm talking about the older ones who should know better. Like a old lawyer friend of a friend who says Michele Bachmann is a nut and who only adopted kids for the money, as well as finds fault in all non-democrats. When my friend presses him for a source, or any sort of proof, he simply pffffts and states it's common knowledge.
Would he walk into a car dealer and believe the salesmen when they say their cars are the best? Course not, so why does he blindly believe the sort of talking points that obviously come from the liberal echo chamber known as the democrat media ? There is no good explanation. It's paradoxical.
I think there are a couple main things in play.
I think liberals are extremely dependent on their fantasies about the world they live in.Translate that in your own way as descriptive from me wouldn't do it justice and potentially just cloud the point.
The point is, because of this, they simply cannot allow too many facts or too much reality to seep into their brains. To do so risks losing the fantasy and like a heroine addict they will guard that state of being with their life. It is why they go ape shit when they see reality posted on your websites. (I say your, because I don't think any liberals read me.)
The other point, especially today, is that they are simply too dependent on the democrats. They perceive it that way anyhow. I've had them tell me the republicans or recently the Tea Party, wants to cancel welfare. Well, of course conservatives want everyone to be successful, and would certainly take no one off of life support until they could walk on their own. I certainly wouldn't. So it's easy for the democrat media to spin that.
In summary, you have heroine-like fantasy addicts, wholly dependent on the government, that are going to vote anytime they get the chance. And they aren't going to entertain any concepts resembling reality or rationality.

Fear and dependence. The children who never grew up want to stay that way.
ReplyDeleteone wonders how fairly intelligent people can continue to believe lies...

Well said, Kid. I too, often think how anyone, esp. some friends who should know better, can like obummer and all the liberal policies.
ReplyDeleteThey are smart about everything else, but this bad trait of theirs is very mind boggling. So, I simply don't try to educate them any more, It wastes my time. They simply REFUSE to have their deluded views challenged.
It would take these lib lovers over the edge to challenge their life long assumptions. Their whole lives would be a pathetic waste, and they can't handle it.
Any new friends I make, if they are liberals, I'm gonna nip it in the bud and save myself the aggro, I can't stand morons any longer.
I think liberals are extremely dependent on their fantasies about the world they live in..spot on Kid and the pathology runs deep deep deep!
ReplyDeleteOpus, that sums it up well :)
ReplyDeleteCarol-CS, it is fascinating.
ReplyDeleteBunni, we had a couple that we went to dinner with. They couldn't stand my conservatism anymore. Or my arguments. Haven't seen them for a couple years now.
ReplyDeleteVery stereotypical libs.
Woman, Thanks. I don't believe there is any other explanation.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you missed a thing with this post.
ReplyDeleteThey keep breeding dumber ones everyday.
Admiral, Thank you. We were stupid when we were kids but we were never this stupid.
ReplyDeleteI blame the education system in part. All this self esteem BS has destroyed critical thought. Who cares what kind of a dumbass you are as long as you feel good about it?
ReplyDeleteIf it feels good, do it.
If it looks good, buy it.
If it sounds good, believe it.
Yeah, I was about as dumb as a bag of hammers as a kid growing up in a liberal rat's nest, Eugene OR.
ReplyDeleteBut once I started making some serious scratch at around 35, and started paying serious taxes, I woke up from my semi-liberal stupor.
That, or it could be I moved out of Oregon and stopped drinking the water....hmmmmm
Thanks for the "addicted to fantasy" theory. I've been wondering for a long time why even those of my liberal acquaintances who have demonstrably functioning brains scream and run if I try to cite facts and numbers that contradict their pet theories.
ReplyDeleteSig, Another great point. Rewarding mediocrity just makes us more dependent and generates more democrat voters.
ReplyDeleteFredd, I'd say the fact that you actually had to start thinking in order to providing value to your employer (even if that was you) and started wondering why someone else got to decide how to spend 25% of your pay is what did the trick.
ReplyDeleteMB, Thank you. I can't think of any other explanation and I do have plenty of experience talking to people like your acquaintances myself.
ReplyDeleteFacts are like the threat of cold turkey.
