The cult of Leftism.

You know, it happens all the time, so let’s just call it what it is. The difference between a conservative and a Leftist is that a Leftist will not be your friend if you don’t agree with them. Most people don’t really care a ton if you totally agree, but they do appreciate having a friend. I think many of us have had the experience of having a friend dump us because we were conservative.

Leftism is a cult. And you must not have friends outside the cult! You must not even hear other opinions, let lone know them well enough to argue against them!

The truth is, people with confidence in their positions have NO problem with differing opinion. Intellectually weak cult members do…

Yet again, the SLPC

fiasco has clearly demonstrated just how dishonest and untrustworthy many Leftist organizations are. I guess the question for me is, “Why would anyone even believe the orthodox Lefty organizations now?”

Doesn’t “Once bitten, twice shy” apply? In just seems to me that a rational person who actually cares about what is true would be quite skeptical now.

The problem is, many on the Left actually don’t care about what is true and what is not. They really care about their “team” winning–and that is about it. This is not about truth at all, this is about dominion.

And conservatives would be wise to understand well that we are living in a post-truth world. At least for people on the Left, the issue is often not at all about the truth. We make a great mistake when we think that logic and arguments and facts will make much difference at all. No, we are talking about conversion here, not rational thought.

How do you define

a nanosecond? The amount of time it takes Democrats to get amazingly extreme!

It’s not often

at all not the MSM does not fall in and support anything that Leftists say. So when that does happen, one should perk up and take a listen. And what the Democrats have been saying, you’re so preposterous that even the MSM is balking.

On Sunday’s edition of This Week, host Jonathan Karl walked Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) through the reality of the Democrats blocking funding for the Department of Homeland Security, and things got a little testy when Van Hollen was confronted with some uncomfortable truths

“I guess what’s confusing here is you have fought and blocked the funding for the Department of Homeland Security because you object, as you just outlined, to what ICE has been doing, and you wanted to force changes,” Karl said. “And yet, the only thing that has been assured throughout all of this is that ICE already has the money. Because, as you said, $75 billion passed in the budget bill last year.”

… “No, no, John, we’re not holding it up,” he insisted, but Karl kept coming back to the same, irrefutable point. “But you’re holding it up unless it doesn’t include money for ICE. That’s just a fact.”

… Their messaging isn’t just weak—it’s collapsing under basic scrutiny in front of a national audience. And if they can’t sell this to their own allies in the press, Democrats should be panicking about this.

Captain Obvious Cult of Leftism

Yes, that

is true. I don’t think the Left has even an inkling of what they have become. A big part of that is that they have totally hidden themselves in “the bubble” and will not talk to anyone who is not already part of the cult. And argue a point? FUGGETABOUTIT!

When you already

think you know everything (epistemic closure)… And, of course, any change is an admission that a new direction is better. Change is fundamentally an admission of having been wrong before. There’s no reason to do something different, if what you have been doing is good and right. And most Democrats simply do not have the personal humility to make that kind of admission.

I think that shows exactly why many of us who were once totally willing to vote for a Democrat now rear like a shying stallion at the extremist policies of the post-Clinton Democrats.

And it is a total shame that a wise but moderate voice like Ruy Teixeira is forcibly driven from the party for not holding close enough to the new party line enough. I may not agree with everything Ruy says, but I sure agree with a lot of it!

I guess he should’ve known that any disagreement, however nicely put, could not be accepted or even tolerated by the current Democrats. For them, you are either a hard-core adherent or a heretic. There simply is no in-between. So they “excommunicated” yet another voice of reason.

Sorry, Ruy. I will miss your voice…

I’m sick of

the Democrats. They throw a spit-spewing, breath-holding tantrum and shut the government down whenever they don’t get what they want! These are NOT serious people…

The Internet

is NOT a friend to despotic violent kooks like the Mullahs! Or, indeed, to ANY Lefty shill. NOTHING is more damaging to either group than true and verifiable information. That’s why all lefty despots have tried to restrict information!

It’s really an identifying characteristic of all despotism, particularly Lefty despotism. A free press and free information is anathema to them. I mean, why do you think Lefties here work so hard to combat free speech?

Because free and open discourse destroys their craft. They don’t believe in your right to speak, they believe only in your submission…

Yeah, this is

what Lefties usually do in response to an MSM “news” story:

Typically, Lefties

simply won’t engage and debate–they avoid any kind of challenge if they can. No matter how reasonable and respectful. You may be a good friend or even a family member, but if you disagree, you are GONE! It’s very much a “cult” response. Lefties don’t communicate, they ex-communicate!

And if they really can’t shut you up or intellectually stand up to you, well, they kill you.
