US Liberals Are Clinically Insane and Care Nothing for the American People
2018-06-21
[Strategic Culture Foundation] Even before Donald Trump won the White House, there were strong indications that something was not quite right with the Liberal mindset. Today, all doubt on the matter has been cleared away.

The mass hysteria that swept across Liberal America, like one giant tear tsunami, following Hillary Clinton’s ’surprise’ loss in the 2016 presidential election has reached a new level of madness and can now be described as a deep-seated psychosis.

There are some understandable reasons for the Left’s collective mental breakdown. Briefly, ’Russiagate’ is disintegrating into a burlesque theater of the absurd, while Trump ‐ from jump-starting the Heartland’s industrial sector, to making peace with a nuclear-armed dictator, to ’winning’ the World Cup ‐ is on a serious roll. If the momentum continues, it may give the Republicans a crucial victory in November congressional midterms. The Democrats, acutely aware as to what is at stake yet unable to stop Trump, are showing a side of their character that can be best described as treacherous. And in order to see the symptoms of a disintegrating Democratic Party one only need look at the US entertainment industry.

For example, actor Robert DeNiro, one of the most outspoken Hollywood critics of Trump, forced his captive audience at the recent Tony Awards to sit through an invective against the US leader, which started with the juvenile comment, "F*ck Trump!" Just in case his audience - which may have included some minors, not to mention Republicans - did not hear him the first time, DeNiro repeated it. The pathetic outburst, which was certainly not the first time a fading Hollywood star has used the pulpit at an awards ceremony to make a weak political impression, won DeNiro a cheap standing ovation.

Back in January 2017, before Trump was even moved into Pennsylvania Avenue, actress Meryl Streep pulled a similar stunt, lecturing the president on the diverse composition of US society in general and Hollywood in particular: "Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners and if we kick them all out, you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts," Streep said, a comment that reinforces the idea that actors should just stick to their scripts instead of venturing into the minefield of politics.

#12  As long as the hysteria works for them, they'll keep engaging in it.

If the momentum continues, it may give the Republicans a crucial victory in November congressional midterms.

Yeah, but will the GOP do anything with that victory?

#9  Wretchard found this winner: Professor: Learning Math Can Cause ‘Collateral Damage’ to Society - According to a new textbook written by a professor at the University of Exeter, learning mathematics can cause “collateral damage” to society because it “provides a training in ethics-free thought.”

“Reasoning without meanings provides a training in ethics-free thought,” Paul Ernest writes in “The Ethics of Mathematics: Is Mathematics Harmful?” — a chapter of his book The Philosophy of Mathematics Education Today.


Stick the meat thermometer in the Left is way past done.

#8  Precisely.
If people continue to use the word liberal you don't know what they have to face.

#7  I seem to remember not that long ago all the very best people were darkly worried at the prospect that President Trump might simply go off in public, you know just start swearing incoherently at some world leader. Now it gets a standing ovation?

#6  Peter Fonda has outdone DeNiro.



Washed up producer/director/actor whose only claim to fame is his daddy's name seeks publicity by advocating violence against First Family.

That's a load of crap - no one was 'forced' to sit there; they all had the option to walk out. Whether or not any of them did, that was never reported.

#2  Lots of noisy ones heading ever further left, but the quietly thoughtful ones are more and more dismayed by this behaviour — and withholding their vote from those running on this nonsense, even though they can’t bring themselves to vote Republican for all sorts of reasons.

But a vote not cast for the Democrats is just as valuable as a vote cast for the Republicans. Especially when the feds are encouraging the states to clean up their voter rolls and harden their voting procedures. November is going to be very interesting indeed,

#1  Quit using the word Liberal. There's nothing of classical liberalism in them. They're socialists. It's the same mindset as the geniuses running Caracas. They love themselves cause they believe they are god since they've thrown out the old one. They truly believe "Thou shalt have no other gods before me".
