Understanding the Unhinged Liberal

Here is another great article from the American Thinker that hit the nail on the head when it comes to answering the question as to why the liberal has no soul.

I have often wondered why the liberal was so willing to say anything or do anything, no matter how destructive to themselves or others at the time, just to gain a few rungs on the ladder of power and position.

A liberal's entire being is dedicated to a single purpose, an unquenchable lust for power over others. They must have control over the lesser people of the world, and there by mask the horror that lurks in their hearts that they, personally, are of no consequence.

It isn't difficult to understand then, why the liberal writes the hateful things on their blogs. They are unhinged, and for the most part, tortured by fear and self loathing.

This excerpt is good, but if you have the time, the essay is outstanding -

Gerard Van der Leun at the American Digest has a sparkling essay on the subject of the recent Judas craze which he brilliantly relates to the larger issue of treason in our time. His piece reads in part:

It's a fact of our self-centered contemporary existence that betrayal has become one of the common forces that shape our lives. For when our own desires ride us like a drunken demon lodged on our shoulders, betrayal is the first order of the day when others seek to thwart our desires, or even when others become a mere inconvenience to our whims.

We have long permitted greater and greater levels of betrayal as law, policy and custom as far as the wishes of the individual are concerned. And when the betrayal of others is glossed over with phrases such as I needed to be me, or I needed my space, or We were just on different paths, the elevation of this disease of the soul to the larger realm of treason against all is only a question of degree.

The problem is that shame, a vestigial thing in many shrunken souls, persists, and shame must be driven out of the soul if the secular is to thrive. Both betrayal and treason are still weighted down by a lingering sense of shame within at the same time they are made safe from the weight of blame without. Both are permitted by our cults of personal freedom and sensible selfishness, but both are deeply dark and not easily expunged from the soul no matter how reduced it may be.
