Quoting James...
" they say they are patriotic when really they hate the basic principle of America, "
Right on the money James !
I singled this line because this is how the liberal/Demos run their campaigns.
Breaking down the American spirit.
Destroying the economy.
Abusing welfare.
Promoting obamascare.
Painfully accepting same sex marriages.
Causing minorities to rise up and become BLM shenanigans.
Attacking the rights to celebrate our religion and worships. The list can go on forever. Yet they can't see the lies they tell because their noses are too long.
Excellent post James...spot on !
The leftist is oriented toward large-scale collectivism.
He emphasizes the duty of the individual to serve society and the duty of society to take care of the individual.
He has a negative attitude toward individualism. He often takes a moralistic tone.
He tends to be for gun control, for sex education and other psychologically “enlightened” educational methods, for social planning, for affirmative action, for multiculturalism. He tends to identify with victims.
He tends to be against competition and against violence, but he often finds excuses for those leftists who do commit violence.
He is fond of using the common catch- phrases of the left, like “racism,” “sexism,” “homophobia,” “capitalism,” “imperialism,” “neocolonialism,” “genocide,” “social change,” “social justice,” “social responsibility.”
Maybe the best diagnostic trait of the leftist is his tendency to sympathize with the following movements: feminism, gay rights, ethnic rights, disability rights, animal rights, political correctness. Anyone who strongly sympathizes with ALL of these movements is almost certainly a leftist.
The more dangerous leftists, that is, those who are most power-hungry, are often characterized by arrogance or by a dogmatic approach to ideology. However, the most dangerous leftists of all may be certain oversocialized types who avoid irritating displays of aggressiveness and refrain from advertising their leftism, but work quietly and unobtrusively to promote collectivist values, “enlightened” psychological techniques for socializing children, dependence of the individual on the system, and so forth.
These crypto- leftists (as we may call them) approximate certain bourgeois types as far as practical action is concerned, but differ from them in psychology, ideology and motivation.
The ordinary bourgeois tries to bring people under control of the system in order to protect his way of life, or he does so simply because his attitudes are conventional.
The crypto-leftist tries to bring people under control of the system because he is a True Believer in a collectivistic ideology. The crypto-leftist is differentiated from the average leftist of the oversocialized type by the fact that his rebellious impulse is weaker and he is more securely socialized.
He is differentiated from the ordinary well-socialized bourgeois by the fact that there is some deep lack within him that makes it necessary for him to devote himself to a cause and immerse himself in a collectivity. And maybe his (well-sublimated) drive for power is stronger than that of the average bourgeois.
