Liberals are happier

[theDoctorisIn]

You really don't know my life.

I never professed to, nor did I claim to know anything about your life. No need to get defensive, Doc.

Fair enoigh. But my point was less a personal defense than a defense against your attack on happiness. Or perhaps your implication that happiness requires ignorance.

I'm genuinely curious.

Curious about what? What I said?

Liberals are smart. Smart people are rarely happy. I am never happy, I'm way too smart.

Not smart enough to figure out how to be happy I guess.

To be happy one must be stupid, therefore blind and ignorant

I can see why miserable people would say stuff like that, but it is not true. Smartest people I know are optimistic, enthusiastic, forward looking and yes, happy.

Okay, then they aren't nearly as smart as you believe. To you they may very well be smart but to me, just based on your descriptions of them, they are obvious morons. Those are not characteristics of actual smart people beyond "forward" looking.

Liberals remind me of my kids when they were young. They just wanted stuff and had everything provided for them. When they got older, they realized it didn't just happen. Mom and Dad worked their asses off to provide the home and support they had. They appreciate that now and realize that nothing is free, someone always pays the bill.

You remind me of old grumpy conservative, which you are.

I can't say that there's no "mockery" in my comments. But they do not change the focus and thesis of my argument.

Actually that air of mockery pollutes the focus and thesis of your arguments.

I make it a point to never self-gauge my intellect, especially publicly...because it's obnoxious, but also pointless. I perform best I can, that is good enough for me.

Liberals are rage filled bitter people who think life took an unfair shit on them.

Mostly we think if there is a God he sure loved shit, he made it even in walking talking form like you.

Boo hoo lib, do you require a tissue?

No, it doesn't. The fact that I can be a snarky asshole may distract from my argument, (or be used as an excuse to distract from my argument), but it has no effect on my argument itself.

Liberals must be happier because they don't worry about immigration. The border guards can handle the bad guys, and the good ones who come over were dreamers, struggling to make a good life. We are a rich country, we have plenty of welfare for them, and it's okay to let them practice their cultures and protest stuff; they will be good Americans soon anyway, one way or another.

Liberals are happier because they don't worry about the debt. Oh, we'll get that paid off sometime. It's no big deal. But, oh! Must we really spend millions of dollars on an aircraft carrier? Can't we negotiate peace and show how strong America can be through diplomacy and conversation? Oh, we will soon. We'll make the rich pay more! It's coming!

They are fine with education. Oh yes, the liberal education system was just what we need. Awareness, tolerance, kindness, and understanding must be taught in our classrooms. So the Pledge of Allegiance and prayer was removed, but that's okay, we'll teach our kids all that at home. Competitive sports should be toned down, for every child has a right to feel like a winner. All kids are perfect! America comes in 48th in the world in math and science in public schools, but oh well, guess the government needs to find them jobs anyway

Affordable government health care was a wonderful concept. After all, it's good enough for our servicemembers (the VA) and they get the best! Now we can have that for ourselves and it will be so much better for all of us.

Liberals were so glad when renewable energy began to be a reality. They imagined peaceful wind farms, nice quiet solar panels, and Toyota Priuses everywhere. Relying on fossil fuels and coal was dirty and nasty! It killed environments for the whatever favored endangered species and was full of accidents.


But I'm saying this now because this is what the left thinks and acts upon. They have closed their minds to what is best. You really can't blame them; they sleep well and they have this mindset that everything they do is perfect. All they know is that their candidate is ahead in all the polls and all the media outlets support their candidate. How nice.

Being a conservative is a hell of a lot harder, more frustrating, and definitely not comfortable.

But it's the right thing to be ... if you care. And that's the difference.

Liberals are never happy, they invent problems to gain control and make people miserable, if they were ever happy they wouldnt keep creating govt programs and most of their organization would be out of business.
