The Liberal Mind. The Psychological causes of Political Madness

AS A YOUNG BOY I LEARNED A SIMPLE TRUTH---"NO TWO SNOWFLAKES ARE ALIKE"!  AN AMAZING DISCOVERY, BECAUSE AS A YOUNG BOY THEY ALL LOOKED THE SAME.  WHEN I BECAME OLDER AND SAW THE WORLD FOR WHAT IT WAS I LEARNED ANOTHER TRUTH "NO TWO THINGS ARE ALIKE"  NOTHING IN THIS OLD WORLD HAS A TWIN, AN IDENTICAL TWIN.  TODAY THERE ARE THOSE WHO WOULD PUT US IN BOXES---BOXES MARKED WITH WHITE, BLACK, LIBERAL, CONSERVATIVE, HAVE'S, HAVE-NOT'S, POOR, RICH AND WHATEVER SUITS THOSE WHO PACKAGE US FOR THEIR BENEFIT.  WE ARE NOT ALIKE, WE ARE NOT THE SAME, WE ARE EACH AN INDIVIDUAL UNIQUE IN A BLACK AND WHITE WORLD AND NOT THE GRAY WORLD OF MODERN DAY PROGRESSIVES.  ALWAYS REMEMBER, YOU ARE NOT THAT GRAY MASS OF COLLECTIVISM THAT WILL STEAL YOUR INDIVIDUALISM, BUT THAT TINY SNOWFLAKE, UNIQUE AND INDIVIDUAL THAT WILL NOT BE COMPROMISED BY THE MINDLESS BLOB OF STATISM SUPREMACY!   BE THAT SNOWFLAKE OR JUST MELT AWAY INTO THAT PUDDLE ON THE GROUND---THAT BLOB THAT EVEN YOU DOG WILL PISS ON!  BEWARE OF THE LIBERAL BLOB!



The Liberal Mind is the first in-depth examination of the major political madness of our time: The radical left’s efforts to regulate the people from cradle to grave. To rescue us from our troubled lives, the liberal agenda recommends denial of personal responsibility, encourages self-pity and other-pity, fosters government dependency, promotes sexual indulgence, rationalizes violence, excuses financial obligation, justifies theft, ignores rudeness, prescribes complaining and blaming, denigrates marriage and the family, legalizes all abortion, defies religious and social tradition, declares inequality unjust, and rebels against the duties of citizenship. Through multiple entitlements to unearned goods, services and social status, the liberal politician promises to ensure everyone’s material welfare, provide for everyone’s healthcare, protect everyone’s self-esteem, correct everyone’s social and political disadvantage, educate every citizen, and eliminate all class distinctions. Radical liberalism thus assaults the foundations of civilized freedom. Given its irrational goals, coercive methods and historical failures, and given its perverse effects on character development, there can be no question of the radical agenda's madness. Only an irrational agenda would advocate a systematic destruction of the foundations on which ordered liberty depends. Only an irrational man would want the state to run his life for him rather than create secure conditions in which he can run his own life. Only an irrational agenda would deliberately undermine the citizen’s growth to competence by having the state adopt him. Only irrational thinking would trade individual liberty for government coercion, sacrificing the pride of self-reliance for welfare dependency. Only a madman would look at a community of free people cooperating by choice and see a society of victims exploited by villains.
