Understanding the Socialist Delusion

-American Thinker- Democrats are nuts and their violence will get worse - but to help them back to sanity we must understand whats going on with them. We can observe the lefts behavior without understanding or judging it. In general that behavior can be summarized as a collective response to two conflicting imperatives: shout allegiance to basic Christian and thus American values; act at every opportunity in opposition to those values. Thats insane but it is happening all around us every day -- ask any of the screaming harridans who protested the Kavanaugh confirmation and theyll tell you theyre committed to the ideals of freedom human rights truth and the rule of law -- and yet their actions showed them spitting in the face of all they believe in all thats good about the American judicial and political system. Their behavior has to change but we cant help them make that happen without first understanding it and understanding starts with honest description. Although many highly visible leftists are so politically focused theyre intolerable most ordinary democrats seem like sane sensible superficially educated (i.e.they present as literate but have little or no factual knowledge of science history or western culture) and reasonably intelligent people youd be glad to have as friends or neighbors -- until the conversation touches on politics and you realize theyve placed themselves beyond the reach of reason in this one area of their lives. You get together for a nice dinner: their oldest is in university but wont study yours drives too fast their dog isnt quite as gassy as yours and everyone agrees the Twins will make it to the playoffs this year - but then someone brings up politics and it turns out they voted for Clintons every time; think Kavanaugh a rapist see Trump as a Hitler wannabe adore John Kerry and Jane Fonda and think Cuba a successful democracy with great medical care for everyone.
