Do you remember reading in Genesis when Abraham asked God if he would spare Sodom and Gomorrah if he could find just one good man? I hold the same sentiments for the Left, except, instead of good men, there appears to be a dearth of independent thinkers. In my travels through the blogosphere, I see, time and time again, a narrative that is replayed in an endless loop before the mindless Leftist masses: the US is an evil and imperialist nation, Republicans hate women and the poor, corporate interests run the government, the government is the only solution, etc. etc. ad infinitum, ad nauseum. There is no deviation from the accepted script: not one person is willing to step out of the hashish cloud to say "wait, a second. Are you sure about that?" The Left's entire worldview is based on those same empty and baseless assumptions and no fact or argument will extract the predispositions from their mind. It is as if they all still believed in Santa Claus, only instead of Santa Claus their myth is a slightly less-violent version of a jihadist's wish list.
In the next few days, I am going to review some of the material from Leftist websites like the DailyKos. I will deconstruct several of the posts and try to find some insight into the Leftist mind.
Keep in mind: these anti-US, anti-capitalist automatons are the products of our post-secondary educational system. They are educated, in a formal, non-classically liberal, indoctrinated sense of the word, but have no common sense. Most likely, they have never gotten dirt under their fingernails or have had to earn their keep by the sweat of their brow. They don't know what it is like to suffer. They are part of an entitlement culture: they expect a good job straight out of school with excellent pay and benefits and to be placed on the track to management and a corner office before they have paid any dues. They expect mom and dad to feed, clothe, and house them for as long as they require and, after they leave because their parents have become too bothersome or oppressive, they expect for that safety net to remain there for as long as they need it. To them, God is for fools and reactionaries. He is an impediment to the free expression of their ids. Their spirituality is found in natural surroundings, yoga, or, in most cases, the sexual act. They have been raised on violent movies, violent video games, and violent wars played out on television for the duration of their existence. They are narcissistic and, worse, desensitized to other's pain and suffering. They have no concept of history as they live only in the moment. The "history" they learned in college is most likely Howard Zinn and they have no clue that their hero was a communist who admitted that his goal was to become part of history, not tell it. Thus, they are forever doomed to repeat it and repeat it they will because they believe that socialism is the panacea for the world's ills. What could be wrong about everybody being equal? Because they have no frame of reference or clear perspective, whether from their parents who probably wanted to be their friends as opposed to parents or teachers or from their formal education whose sole purpose was to create Leftist clones, they will never realize the lessons of history: socialism has failed, in all of its manifestations, time and time again.
