I. DON'T. GET. IT. SRSLY.

No. Really.

Continuing the previous post's point and question (read the linked article), I want to know.

We hear the various theories about why Democrats and Liberals promote the programs and positions they do. But, really.

The theories assume the worst or the best: Evil or Stupid.

But ALL DemLibs can't be either Evil...or Stupid. It's, like, statistically impossible. There simply has to be another explanation.

Why do DemLibs want illegal Mexicans to invade our country and change our culture, speak their own language, vote illegally, suck up the resources, bankrupt cities?

What is the UP side? Let's say they want votes. What is the up side of getting lots of Mexican Nationals' votes, so that they elect Mexican Nationals to positions of power in the United States? The DemLib politicians supporting this invasion will ultimately lose their jobs. They too, are white, native Americans, who will be in the minority, and will be ruled by the very Mexicans they have invited to take over our country.

Why do the DemLibs insist on honoring and making excuses, and appeasing, and pushing the practice of Isam? Why do they encourage and support the self-segregation of Muslims, the non-assimilation of Muslims, the institution of Sharia Law/courts in Muslim communities, the right of radical Muslims to advocate for the overthrow the legally constituted governments of America and other Western countries?

What's the UP side? In general, the DemLibs engage in the very behaviors that a Muslim majority would punish with death. They approve, practice or support: atheism/secularism, homosexuality, feminism, abortion, pornography/sexual license, vulgar/foul speech, alcohol/drug consumption, assisted suicide...

Don't they realize that these make them, by definition, number one, primary targets of the fanatical, radical, cruel and "zero-tolerance" enforcers of Islam like the Taliban? They will be the first to be imprisoned, tortured, executed by the very forces they are supporting and encouraging to enter and multiply in America?

Why do the DemLibs want us to lose the war in Iraq? I know they hate President Bush, but they want AMERICA to lose a war. Losing wars makes countries appear weak. Just like on the street, in the World Neighborhood, weak countries are picked on and attacked by neighborhood bullies. This does not insure "peace" for the weak one...it by definition insures a constant state of defense, pain, aggravation, violence and demoralization.

What is the UP side? If we lose the war, we will be seen as weak. We will have fewer allies, fewer countries around the globe will see us as a model or as a savior. More bullies will be encouraged to take over countries, secure in the knowledge that America will not be able to do anything. More rogue countries and despots will arise. This does not make the world a safer place. On the contrary...it guarantees that more people will suffer from violence, torture, want, cruelty and war.

Don't the DemLibs realize that the more violent, rogue despots in the world will also make the world a more dangerous place for America? Don't they understand that "strongmen" in the Third World, having seen that the rag-tag band in Iraq can "defeat" the U.S. Army, they will be less and less afraid of targeting interests and perhaps even territory of the U.S.? Do they not realize that this can only result in two possibilities...constant warfare between us and the various testing bullies...or a shrinking of American influence, American prosperity, American significance, American success? As American Citizens, this can only decrease their own personal influence, prosperity, significance and success. Is this what they really want? Does any sane person labor and celebrate such a thing?

Why do the DemLibs want Socialism and Central-Government Control of every aspect of our lives? It has been shown, proven, experienced, documented in every country in which it has EVER been tried, to be the worst sort of government possible. Every single thing within Central-Government-Control countries degenerates: Food availability and choice; employment availability and choice; consumer goods availability and choice; medical care availability and choice; innovation; invention; motivation; finance; education; art, parenting; health; entertainment; drugs; science; beauty; fashion; literature; life-expectancy; infant survival; family life; marriage; vegetarianism; organic food production; domestic tranquility; sobriety; morality; honesty; conservation; environmentalism; concern for animals...

What's the UP side? Don't DemLibs realize that all the "progressive" principles they believe in will be among the first to be discarded in a Central-Government-Control country? Feeding the whole population on the Government's dime will instantly render all those fancy, specialty, expensive and "boutique" foodstuffs, wine, beer, etc. impossibly expensive to produce. Only capitalists, serving a particular market can afford to grown and sell organic or vegan, or fat-free, or salt-free, or peanut free, specialty foods. Government Controlled/non-market based food production will automatically and autocratically make the cheapest, most basic, least specialized, most easily distributed food possible. It will appeal to the lowest common denominator. It will undoubtedly be heavily "pesticided", processed, and preserved. It will be uniformly manufactured with little variety...which is much cheaper. Government Central Control will decide what should be made, in what quantities...rather than market forces doing so...and there will, as is always the case in such economies, vast shortages of those things people want, and huge, wasted surpluses of things made but not wanted.

Why do DemLibs want to create that sort of country? They, more than others, make a religion of veganism, environmentalism, animals rights, organic farming. When a Central Bureaucracy is in charge of feeding, medicating, employing, clothing, transporting, educating, entertaining...millions, all the fine and sensitive niceties of life will be crushed under the monstrous weight of "efficiency".

Stupidity seems to be obvious. But equally obvious is that plenty of DemLibs are perfectly intelligent.

Evil seems to be an option. But also obviously, most DemLibs are perfectly nice people, who don't wish (or at least don't consciously wish) ill on others. They believe in life, love, fairness, peace and harmony. It may be naive, but hardly EVIL.

Naivete may be concluded...a John Lennonish/Rodney Kingish wish that we could all just get along...but Life continues to prove, with example after example, that this is not a fantasy world, but the REAL one, in which such wishes are doomed. Naivete, is by definition a temporary condition in normal human beings...until one is exposed to reality, and subjected to experience. If it were naivete, the DemLibs silly and unrealistic notions would have been "corrected" long ago. It can't be the answer.

I am, in a word, flummoxed.
