Are Liberals trying to Annoy Us?
2014-02-01
Is that a trick question?
h/t Gates of Vienna
Republicans need to recognize an important fact: Liberalism is not driven by any real political philosophy but by resentment, bitterness, and anger toward mainstream society. Conservatives keep trying to patiently and politely point out where Democrat candidates are factually and logically wrong.

That cannot work because liberalism is not about facts or logic. You can't explain the Democrat Party (which liberals took over starting in 1968). What is happening to our country is not about issues. (But, a clarification: I am focusing here on liberal activists and leaders. Many ordinary individuals are just caught up in their rhetoric.)

The Left irritates society with ever-more loony ideas. Conservatives think they can reason with liberals. But crazy is their goal, because liberals are trying to annoy people on purpose. Upsetting the mainstream is a way of expressing anger and bitterness. So reasoning with liberals is exactly what they don't want. They want to make you upset. Conservatives are trying to argue logic to a teenage boy who is bitter and angry at his parents. Liberalism is like a teenage girl who really wants to annoy her parents by dating a 30 year old covered in tattoos from a biker gang. Liberal "complaints" are actually proxies substituting for other issues.
Time for the rod?

#9  Global warming is also a religion - some people have two gods - the gov't and the climate.

#8  Liberalism is a religion. The majority of them do not have G-d in there lives, while we are humans and every culture has had its gods. Liberals are no different and the void is filled with something.

Talking anyone out of religion is next to impossible. Hence why logic and facts don't work on libs.

They chase the dragon, but utopia has never resulted.

Just as in the Myth of Sisyphus where a Greek mythology figure was condemned to repeat forever the same meaningless task of pushing a boulder up a mountain, only to see it roll down again.

#2  You're wrong ST. What they'll do is make a movie about your Corporal along with a lot of other insubordinate misfits and turn said "frilly panty" freak into a star and the moral of the story is that the institutions of Society suck and should be overthrown by the loons.

#1  Say you had a Corporal in the Platoon who wanted to dress up like a girl and walk around in the squadbay in frilly panties. You going to "reason" with him?

You going to salute the rainbow flag he has over his bunk? Or are you going to duct tape him immobile and stuff him naked in a seabag and drop him off at S2 and let them handle it. He needs a Discharge, give it to him. No hard feelings, Dwayne. Bye.
