It is simply one of the best and most informative dissections of the Leftist mindset. Please watch it for 5 minutes and I guarantee you will be hooked and will watch the whole thing. If you have seen it before, watch it again. It is important to refocus on how those who dislike our country think and what motivates them.

Liberals don't think, they feel. I had one on another board tell me that as a small business owner (family owned restaurant), that I shouldn't complain about the taxes I pay and that the government doesn't owe me the lifestyle I'm accustomed to. Well no they don't owe me anything because I work for it. The problem though is that they want me to owe them more and more. Eventually the day will come when I'll give in and shut the doors because I'll end up making the same amount as the people that work for us. Take into consideration that I put in a hell of a lot more than they do. Let's see here what taxes are paid out: 940's 941's unemployment state sales tax local property tax business equipment tax business license tax fire inspection tax health inspection tax Taxes on everything. It's crazy. |

It's crazy. It's crazy all right....that's why I posted the video. It shows what the "end game" is. What they want to do is steal your business, let you put your name up and picking your bones clean until it fails and they reopen it under their rules. |

Awesome video...thanks for posting.  You are more than welcome. If you want to delve further in the thought process of the Muslims, check this out: Written by an Iranian Muslim. Understanding the Muslim Mindset |

he makes some good points, modern Liberals are pretty fuckin retarded, but so are a lot of neo-cons. Be a lot better if he didn't basically equate embracing religion and conservative moral values with being right. He doesn't seem to realize he is simply replacing their idealism with his own. Seems as though he places moral conservatism over political conservatism. As long as the government is enforcing things that I believe in then it's right. I'd like to know how he feels about personal freedom and liberty and the government's role in enforcing this moral behavior he talks about.
yes, I watched the whole thing. |

I recently spoke with a UT grad who fit that profile exactly. I tried to show her the error of her thought (or lack thereof) but could not get through the absence of good and inability to discriminate. I could best describe it as her refusal to think. My request for her to think and demand for moral backing to an argument literallly seemed to cause her pain.
I always joke (half seriously) with liberal friends that I am technically more a liberal than they are. The country has moved so far left that most "liberals" simply want to keep things status quo and should be labeled "conservative". Using 1900 as a reference point in history fits the current political labels, but why don't we get with the times and use 2009? It would require far more radical change to bring the government that most of us desire than for Obama to simply finish off what we have been moving towards over the last 50 years. Revolution would be scary - we will be fighting against an army of mindless automatons unable to see themselves as the obstacle to freedom. I guess all those zombie discussions will come in handy. |

One of the things I've noted about the left's economic ideas is that they are based upon a demand for an outcome.
In other words, the left wants certaint outcomes, and demands them via the government. They don't understand economics sufficiently to understand that their ideas won't work. They simply demand a minimum wage, or high minority home ownership, or equal healthcare for all, and they fail to understand why such childish demands won't work. Opinions, based upon emotion and a superficial understanding of history and how the world works. |

TXL someone who is morally conservative but not politically and wants to use government to enforce their morally conservative ideas just as the left wants government to enforce theirs. Both major political parties have become authoritarian in their methods. That's my definition anyway. |

That's my definition anyway. That's not a neo-con. This is a classic neo-con Video |

While it's easy to understand how liberals think, why they think the way they do, and why they're wrong it's nearly impossible to find a liberal who even understands or can define conservatism.
You can predict everything liberals say and do once you understand their mindset, which is why nothing they say or do outrages me any more. That's a good video though. How can people you know are not stupid and are not evil possibly hold liberal views? |

This guy is utterly full of shit. I love when some moron tells me what my views are or who I support. So who do you support? Michael Moore? Hillary Clinton? barak obama? Next thing you will tell us is that you are "progressive" or some euphemism of liberalism. Liberalism takes from the talented and gives to the masses. Liberalism levels the field. Liberalism attempts to make all trees equal, by hatchet, axe and saw. |

Quoted:
Glad someone else said it rather than the author of the thread ( me )
So when Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow speaks about conservatives and their views, are they right? If they were correct in their idocy, then yes. But so far, they have failed that simple measure, that of being right about anything. But I bet you watch them and drool at the same time. TXL |

I think he is wrong on one count, the liberals do live with a Utopian world view, but it is based on their belief they are the smartest people in the world. They feel that past attempts failed because the people who tried were as smart as them.
How often have you heard a liberal say, this person or that person is dumb? |

If they were correct in their idocy, then yes. But so far, they have failed that simple measure, that of being right about anything. Just like all of their failed social programs. They said that money would fix the poverty problem - it hasn't. They said that "gun control" would stop crime - it hasn't. They said that quotas would fix discrimination - it hasn't. But as they always cry... at least they "did something". Of course, if I get a call for an asthmatic patient, and once in my ambulance instead of administering albuterol I bury a fire axe in their head, I'll have "done something" too. But I'll be facing criminal and civil charges. But the pols? Now matter how backwards and ineffective (or worse, exacerbating) to the problem) they get re-elected. |

That's my definition anyway. That's not a neo-con. This is a classic neo-con Video neo-con .. new conservative.. supposedly someone who was once liberal more or less believes in advocacy of american values to the point of aggressively championing those values abroad. iraq being the best example. free the iraqis, they will embrace western style democracy. its only their corrupt government holding them back.. a classic conservative on the other hand would hesitate to get involved in foreign entanglements. neo-conservatism has worthy goals but its an unrealistic view of how the world works. it may turn out that iraq will eventually be a better place because we were there.. or it may not or it may but iran my fill the anti-american void left by iraq. regardless, the political capital spent in the goal was high and one of its consequences is the current democratic control of both houses of congress and the presidency and all the not so good things that will result.. btw.. i watched the video. he has most of it nailed correctly. modern Liberals (with a capital L) refuse to judge. judging is bad. who are you to judge..etc.. and in doing so are left in an evil world with no moral compass to guide them. and in fact will attack those who attempt to do so. knowing that all folks have some evil in them, the refuse to judge anything or anyone.. the consequences could be pretty bad before its all over..best analogy is the same folks dont want anyone to own a weapon even if you would only use it to protect your family. violence is bad.. even violence in self defense.. i can see no way for such a world view to change without something to destroys such a view.. like wwII.... |

Through either words or body language they make it clear that you are just a poor misguided soul who only needs enlightenment. |
