#4 I remember when the movie Falling Down (1993) came out. Michael Douglas portrayed a right-wing conservative "going postal". Rush Limbaugh, I believe, pointed out that it's not conservatives who go postal as a rule, but leftists.

No matter where you go in the US, red state or blue, if you hear about somebody who goes on a rampage and violently attacks a lot of people, they are almost invariably have liberal democrat leanings. They are "down on their luck", often out of work for an extended period, socially miserable with rotten family lives, suffer from many psychological complexes such as feelings of persecution and paranoia. They do not smile, their grins are forced; and they do not really laugh, because everything in their lives is miserably serious to them.

Leftists can be easily divided between those that can live with the world and those who are in purse-lipped agony about normal life. Much like the character Pap Finn (Huck's father), they never had $50 in their pocket and knew that anybody who did got it by stealing it from somebody like him.

Even back then, they were called Jacksonian democrats. But it was not a uniquely southern phenomenon. In the northeast, the old Calvinist attitudes still shine through: feelings of elitism and contempt for "lesser men", yet craving their adoration; the conviction that wealth is conveyed by unfair good luck ("life's lottery"); that man should have equality forced on him, not just equality of opportunity (excepting the elites, who get more).

Idealistic Pessimism. This is the blue state disease. Just the opposite to the red state attitude of Realistic Optimism. It is why blue stater liberals are so bitter. Politics isn't an important sidelight in their lives, they expect government to do things for them. Unless "their side" wins, they face years more of bitterness and denial. Not just as a group, but personally. Camelot must come, the New Jerusalem must be reborn, where perfection will be obtained.

Remember the famous tale from the Clinton inaguration grandstand? An over-flight of military aircraft was greeted with sneers and curses by one prominent leftist, until another one corrected him: "No, no. Those are *our* aircraft, now."

Such unhappy people. May they remain so for a very long time, for they find happiness only in the misery of others.

#6 knew that anybody who did got it by stealing it from somebody like him.

#9 She's right on the money. Democrats have become the "party of hate". I wish it wasn't true because I'm not totally thrilled with the republicans. Sadly, the democrats offer no alternative other than bashing.

#11 MM forgot the assult by the Dem's union thugs upon a Florida Republican office during the election or the criminal vandalism [gawd, sack Rome once and everyone uses your name for destruction ever after] of the 'get out the vote' vehicles in Wisconson. Yep, projection is certainly the Dem's game.

As I recall, it was actually multiple campaign offices in multiple states, all on the same day. Had there existed a federal prosecutor with balls, I bet they could have RICO'd the AFL-CIO for that little stunt.
