Listening to the contemporary American left’s views of the rest of us is increasingly like listening to a paranoid schizophrenic slip farther into delusions that they are surrounded by malevolent people. Just as we have to worry that the schizophrenic might act on their delusional beliefs and strike out violently against the evils they imagine, we have to be increasingly worried that leftists will strike out against the rest of us based on their delusional fantasies about what we non-leftists believe.
And make no mistake about it, leftists do harbor dark delusions about non-leftists. The fact that so many leftists fell completely for the Limbaugh quote hoax proves it.
I know that conflating the behavior of your political opponents with the behavior of the mentally ill is popular but it's also wrong.
ReplyDeleteIf you've had any experience with real schizophrenics you know that "crazy" in the context of the beliefs and behavior of lefties is meant to be insulting, not descriptive. It's just a mean thing to say (write) about someone who angers you.
If Shannon Love wants to claim the intellectual/moral high ground then she's got to come up with an explanation for lefty behavior that isn't medical in nature. They're lefties not loonies and anyone who thinks the two are the same has never seen the latter.
Maybe the problems that lefties have ARE medical? Being a science teacher myself I see lots of left-leaning people fail to use basic reasoning skills. They are much more confrontational. Maybe med's will help.
