The Source of Liberal Aggression

Why are liberals so full of hatred and scorn? Why are they so universally negative, hateful, and prone to violence? They are so for scores of reasons, not the least of which being that their reputation in the American public is steadily shrinking, with <20% of Americans self identifying as “liberals”. More than twice that number self identify as “conservatives”.

A group of such a minority, with views so divergent from those held by the general public, will find itself in a near perpetual state of intellectual self defense. When not defending their largely unpopular ideology, they’re trying to implement their liberal agenda through social reforms. As they make up less that 1/5 of the population, much of their efforts are in vain.

I know not whether liberalism begets a sense of elitism or whether elitism begets a sense of liberalism, but that the two go hand in hand cannot be denied.

So far everything about liberalism is either negative or resentful: inherent elitism, low self identifying %, the perpetual defensive nature. Worse still, each of these things feed off of each other in a vicious feedback loop.

Returning to the aforementioned elitism, liberals largely view themselves as better, brighter, and considerably more enlightened than average Americans, yet these same inferior Americans rarely (and inexplicably!) turn to their betters (liberals… in case you are one of those average Americans and aren’t able to follow…) to lead them. To the liberals’ great shock and indignation, average Americans resent them for their perceived natural superiority. Resentment feeding resentment in yet another tragic feedback loop.

Residing in such a bubble of negativity, it should not be a surprise that liberals are such a spiteful lot. It would, in fact, be a surprise to find liberals who are not negative! Look back at news stories of violent protests and demonstrations around the world. I challenge anyone to find news coverage of protests and/or demonstrations requiring riot gear donned law enforcement in which the protestors are conservatives. In fact, I challenge you to find an example of such a protest in which the protestors are anything but liberals or leftists.

Liberal aggression is also fueled by that which sustains liberal political momentum and in the United States, the Democratic Party. Downward socio-economic mobility is the catalyst for liberal expansion. Conversely upward economic mobility is generally bad for liberals and the Democratic Party, as is economic prosperity and growth in general. Their ranks swell in a direct correlation with poverty and government dependency.

I imagine it is rather difficult for a party (political) to be full of good cheer when its perception of success is the spread of misery among the populace.

Try the riot gear experiment.

Comcast & NBC Universal Coincidence? The Sacking of Olberman

Days after the FCC approved Comcast’s acquisition of / merger with NBC Universal, the journalism world was given a pleasant & unexpected surprise: MSNBC’s liberal bomb-thrower and consummate liar Keith Olberman has been fired! MSNBC executives claim the merger had no impact on their actions, but I find that rather difficult to accept. Coincidence or not, NBC/Comcast made an excellent decision in releasing that raving left-of-liberal lunatic back into the wild. The only downside is that that “wild” happens to be the society in which we all reside.

There are no shortages of liberal loons at MSNBC to fill in, but Olberman was their leader and the quickest to resort to twisting - and if need be fabricating all of the “facts” needed to “prove” his opinions on the ways of the world. People like him who must sink to such base tactics to “win” the argument must do so because the real facts can not come close to doing so on their own.
How much further “house cleaning” shall occur is unknown, but folks at MSNBC must be alarmed to have found out that Comcast is in the business of making money - not cheer leading for the Democratic Party. No money was being made by giving Olberman an uber-liberal fiefdom of a network to operate as he saw fit. Not long ago Olberman was forcing other MSNBC hosts off the air for daring to challenge his opinion on some small political issue. MSNBC and its dozens of regular viewers were nominally under his control with regard to on air content. How the mighty have fallen.

MSNBC will undoubtedly shuffle their lineup of socialists, lesbians, and leftist blow-hards to minimize disruption, but the effects of Olberman’s dismissal will be impossible to ignore. You know you’re in trouble when your game plan for the future includes the words “Ed Shultz” and “prime time”.
