My only addition to this is my belief that we see a present-day version of what the Greeks knew of as Dionysian principles in the modern liberal Democrats.

We Conservatives are the Stoics.

25 years ago, you couldn’t have convinced me of the value of Stoicism. I called myself a Dionysian. In fact, I remember doing a class report in the third year of my Latin studies during my senior year in the public high school I attended. I passed around plastic cups of Kroger-brand fake wine to everyone, and launched into what the differences were between Stoicism & Dionysianism, and why I, (a 17 year-old immature kid) was indeed a Dionysian. After all, who could be an adolescent and turn your back on wine, intoxication, and ecstasy?

It took me nearly twenty years to understand the other component of living a Dionysian lifestyle, though: chaos. Add to that: irrational thought, insincerity, and faithlessness. I now merely shake my head at my foolish youth.

Democrats/liberals are stuck in their adolescent youth, living a life of satisfying their every impulse, especially the base ones. They aren’t full of “principles” as we know them. Their only “principles”, I have found, are based on doing the exact opposite of what they think a Republican or Conservative would do. And they are happy with that shallow definition of their core belief system. They are chaos, plain and simple.

Some of us Christians would call them “lost”.

As much as J. Gerofalo would love to medicalize the “condition” of being a Conservative (her laughable display on K. Olbermann’s show recently saw her attempt at diagnosing all “Teabaggers” as having a limbic brain disorder of overgrowth, resulting in misfirings of the synapses in our frontal lobes, ‘natch. Isn’t it ironic that a good liberal like her would rest the diagnosis of “intelligence” on brain size/growth? The last time cranial studies were done to “prove” intelligence, African Americans didn’t fare too well, so we demonized those scientists, of course. But I guess you’d have to be one of those “readers” to know that. Perhaps Gerofalo didn’t get that Twitter blast.), I, like EQ above, believe that they project the neurological/brain condition on us, yet it is they who suffer from a condition of underdeveloped sectors of the brain. As the Colonel might say, “can’t prove it, just know it.”

Their brain suffers from a suite of maladies, I believe: unresolved phobias, coping problems, attention span deficiencies, irrational thought, etc. I am not trained as a medical scientist, but I see these patterns in the arch liberals I’ve encountered in my life.

It’s a rather profound thought.

But is eq correct in saying the belief in the unjust is a projection (a generous assessment, imho), or am I correct in saying that it is a simple case of defending one’s own deviant behaviour patterns (which I summarized by just calling them liars….in fact, it goes way beyond lying to all sorts of immoral behaviours, including the one jr points out, but well beyond them as well)?

It may be a fine point, but I personally feel the left compounds their immoral and anti-social behaviours by defending them, much like children twist themselves in knots when caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

And I also believe that the core liberal beliefs arise out of their immorality. For example, the reason they defend abortion with such gusto is that they know it is murder. Another example, the reason they defend taxes in the face of the obvious failure of almost all government programs is that, like Biden, they are selfish and will give nothing to charity themselves without being forced.

For those of you who know what the “joke” is……contemplate that for a few minutes.

On a national Cable “news” network, they said it 51 times in 13 minutes.

I can’t think of anything even remotely parallel to that in my lifetime.

You should see my face. I live in central Florida and it was a beautiful day, sunny, temp perfect, and occational breeze…and I got a really bad sunburn. The worse on my face. It’s swollen and red and I scare the heck out of myself every time I look in the mirror. It’s really bad. But like you it was WELL worth it.

(I was there from 11AM to 5:30PM. there were two events)

We all took part in something very historic and I plan on being at more in the future…with sun block of course! LOL

BTW, I love this video! Perfect!

I didn’t know it had a nasty sexual meaning either until I read your comments.

I googled the word and I have a link to explain it but this is not for children…pretty disgusting. Fair warning.

It does say lots about the thought processes of “them” vs “us”.

Give me us anyday!

I didn’t know that “teabagging” has a nasty sexual connotation until yesterday, and still don’t know what it means.

Why do you think every commentator on MSNBC is so intimate with the meaning and find it so hilarious?

They don’t matter. Their arrogance and apathy, combined with internal projection – will bite them in the end. A common response I have heard from Tea Party attenders is “who are they to tell me what I am”. That friends, is everything in a nutshell.

Its clear liberals are psychotic children, who deny their own illegal influence and activity’s, while propping up terms like “astroturging”, “community organizer”, “fairness/equality”, etc – and are able to get away with it a) while trying to take over power (they did) and b) currently in power. Good luck in 2010 “telling people” what they are.

I have a new strategy and tactic – just yes these morons to death, something like this:

Pelosi “Its nothing more than astroturfing, not grass roots”
Bi-ped ” You are right. Oh – and we are pissed off about your failure to lead, run the government and policy creation and are tired of being taxed to pay for others mistakes”

Which part of the mock Q&A above did you just remember?

Instead of arguing their accusations – get past it, for it means nothing. The audacity of Pelosi to claim people on April 15 were just “organized goons, funded by a right wing conspiracy (heard that one before…) is out of the “What not to do to get elected” playbook and will back fire.

In america – we spend far too much time talking about the inane claim and labels, instead of actually talking about policy. I understand the attention level for most is anemic – therefore lets stop beating a dead horse over labels and simply hit the issue. Put them on the defensive, instead of slumming in their insanity.

I have been called a racist, neo con nutjob, “out of touch”, etc. And guess what – it hasn’t changed my brain, income or family life in any way shape or form. Not has it altered the stupidity of those making the claims.

These expenses make the cost of the successful War on Terror (note how many attacks in the US after 9/11 ) look like chickenfeed.

Throwing debt on debt for “universal healthcare” and other boondoggles is going to crush this country. Already 15% of your earnings go to Social Security and another 7% to Medicare/Medicaid. How much so Obama’s “health Czar” can have a new solid gold back scratcher?

The war on Terror under Bush was dust in comparison.

If the libs think that was bad, just wait till July 4th.
THAT Tea Party will be BIG!
