Take a Memo:
I've been thinking of writing a book on this. I think it would make an excellent read and would shed some insight into the workings of the typical liberal mind. Once was the time these afflicted people represented such a small and insignificant number of Americans it wasn't worth the bother, but they now seem to dominate the political landscape. Some have said Liberalism is a mental disorder and perhaps they are correct. I am not as concerned with a diagnosis as I am with a cure. I believe the secret to finding a cure is through a clearer understanding of how their minds work.
The first thing to remember is, they cannot help their condition, as a matter of fact, they are not even aware they have a condition. From the liberal's perspective, they are completely normal and their ideas are totally valid. They view those of us who are not liberal as the ones with the problem. We are often seen as greedy, uncaring and bigoted, simply because we do not accept the liberal ideology. They believe there is simply no hope for us until we become indoctrinated into the liberal philosophy.
In the liberal's mind, they were put here on this earth to solve all the world's problems through liberal initiatives. Only the liberal's initiatives will ultimately work, all other ideas are inadequate solutions. It does not matter about results. This is an important aspect to remember. The liberal will always discover reasons why their liberal initiatives fail and it usually involves those of us who are not liberal and our not going along with their liberal approach. If only the entire world were liberal, all the problems could be resolved and everyone would be happy.
Here's how it works: The Liberal sees a "problem" ...even if there is really no problem at all. You can try to explain how this "problem" is just a normal aspect of life, but to the liberal, you are wrong... it's a problem, a very real and urgent problem that needs to be fixed by their ingenious liberal solution. You can try to reason with them about this "problem" and how their solution is not going to ever fix it, but in their minds, you are just being a greedy and selfish bigot, as everyone who is not a liberal always is.
So they push for a liberal solution to the so-called problem, relentlessly, endlessly, through the media, through entertainment, through academia. Eventually, given enough time, they will convince enough people there is actually a problem that needs fixing. This could take years, or maybe even decades, but that's okay because it's what the liberal does. They exist for the cause. To fight the good fight. It doesn't matter if it takes a century to convince the masses, they are determined.
Once the public seemingly accepts there is a problem, the liberal then begins the push for the liberal solution to the problem. Most of the time, this involves some form of government action, a stiff regulation or restriction, a fine or tax on those who are successful, or a redistribution of wealth from one group to another. We need a new agency of the government to address this problem, we need massive amounts of funding, we need thousands of new laws and legislation passed. The solutions are never simple or easy, they always involve massive expansion of government and massive amounts of tax dollars devoted to the problem.
In spite of all those who fought against their proposals telling them how their plans would not work to resolve the problem, when they ultimately get all the things they set out to get and the problem is not fixed, the blame is always cast upon those who opposed them. It's never ever because the liberal solution was stupid or the problem could never be fixed, it's always because the greedy bigoted meanies on the right were opposed. Not enough funding was appropriated, we didn't do enough of the liberal idea, too many compromises had to be made. When the abject failure of their plan is so awful it can't be excused by lack of funding, etc., they will even attempt to claim the solution was not their idea at all, it was their adversaries who pushed this on us, and they were always opposed to it.
Likewise, whenever their so-called "solutions" to the "problem" end up creating an even bigger problem, they find a way to blame that on the ones who opposed them as well. A great example of this is what recently happened with the housing and financial sectors crashing and causing a recession. The liberal "problem" was that so many poor people could never afford to buy a new home and live the American Dream. They pushed and prodded for years and years until they finally had a consensus of lawmakers who passed a series of initiatives to help poor families get low-interest loans to buy homes. In spite of all the warnings this wasn't a good idea because poor people wouldn't be able to afford the payments, it was passed into law amid the glee of the liberals who saw it as a major victory at the time. The result was catastrophic. As the poor people defaulted on their loans, banks and lending institutions began to collapse, and the housing bubble burst. Now, who do the liberals blame? George W. Bush and the Republicans, of course!
Another prime example is the Student Loan program. Years ago, a bunch of liberals were on a mission to solve another "problem" that wasn't really a problem but a fact of life. Too many poor people couldn't afford to pay for college. So they pushed and prodded, called people names, cajoled politicians, lobbied and protested until they got their liberal solution, a government-backed student loan program. Those "greedy selfish bigots" who opposed their liberal solution had warned the result would be an exorbitant increase in the cost of education. Guess what has happened? Of course, as the cost of education increased, the liberal solution was to simply keep increasing the amount of student loans which could be available. And now... we hear the laments from the liberals.... people can't afford to repay their student loans! Something MUST be done, and it HAS to be a liberal solution because nothing else will ever work!
On and on I could go with this. Environmental "problems" that required the liberal solutions restricting our energy sector and the high prices of energy we now face as we've become increasingly dependent on foreign sources. Social entitlement programs that have utterly failed to bring people out of poverty in spite of TRILLIONS we've spent. Choking and stifling corporate taxation which has resulted in less and less jobs in the manufacturing sector and more and more corporations turning to offshore solutions to remain viable. An education system that simply no longer functions to educate. A health care system that no longer functions as it was intended. And when you talk to the liberal about these real problems, they look at you with Nancy Pelosi eyes and blame all of the problems on the evil and greedy right and their capitalist billionaires.
The Liberal exists to trot out NEW liberal solutions to the problems they helped create. More liberal solutions that will not work, will not fix the problems and will ultimately require even MORE liberal solutions in the future. And they honestly believe, in their heart of hearts, if we all got on board and thought like liberals, these "problems" could all be fixed and everything would be great in America.
