We all know the ideas far-Left liberals cling to like the religious zealots they themselves despise. We all have suffered the quasi-religious beliefs they try to convert us to like crazed missionaries. So let us not dwell on those things in this missive, instead let us theorize why these idealogs would believe such loopy ideas.
I've known my share of libs, some very well. Invariably they are intellectuals without intellect. Somewhere in their formative years serious liberals take a Left turn and begin feeling guilty for everything. It's as if simple joy is beneath them. As if their guilt flows from a privileged upbringing. They feel uncomfortable with their own comfort. They seem unable to see America as anything but the cause of all the world's ills. Perhaps because they themselves are an unhappy lot, feeding on the perceived misery of others. They are unable to enjoy the simple joys the rest of us cherish - a breeze-rippled Old Glory, fireworks on the 4th of July, hot dogs, apple pie, wrestling. A big honkin' pick-up truck with a turbocharged V8 and a good quality firearm. These things are all bad to a liberal. Joys they are unable to experience. The flag is merely a piece of dyed cloth with no legal status. Fireworks is dangerous and frightens their dog, Muffy. Hot dogs contain too much fat. Apple pie has far too many calories. Wrestling isn't completely integrated. They want to ban firearms (except for gangs and terrorists in our midst) so when they "take back America" there will be no resistance. And pick-up trucks! Almost as bad as those "gas-guzzlin' SUVs" they hate in public (but drive in private).
Leftists want the US to be brought down to the level of Uganda because it might reduce their guilt feeeeelings. They derive their political power by offering what America has to any and every illegal immigrant so these poor miserable folks can reap the benefits of two hundred years of hard work and precious spilt blood - someone else's blood and sweat. It's called One-World Marxism. They would prefer of course that your wealth be given away, not theirs. They don't feel quite that guilty.
On the other hand, traditionalists such as myself see America, with all its unvarnished imperfection, as the most blessed country that ever was; the best last hope of civilization. But liberals can't seem to distinguish us conservatives/traditionalists from Republicans, who they hate with a passion. They think all conservatives are for big corporations taking advantage of the little guy. Granted some conservatives are Republicans, but some liberals are too. Look at Senator McCain.
In the end, Leftists are nothing more than vampires who feed on others' misery. But they are dangerous to the health of a nation. Which is why we traditionalists had better break out the holy water, garlic and birch stakes.
