Among The Left Branch Davidians, Part III

Among The Left Branch Davidians, Part I Among The Left Branch Davidians, Part II

Part 3 of a series.

So far, we've established that liberals:

• really do live in a "reality-based" community, as advertised
• practice taqiya, just like the terrorists they sometimes seem to support

Now on to another conclusion about liberals:

Liberals are inherently and illogically contradictory about their opponents.

In addition to liberals having a plethora of their own contradictions (discussed in some detail here and here so far), they also ascribe contradictory attributes to their opponents.

According to the far left, moderates and conservatives that disagree with liberals are widely viewed as buffoons, cretins, fools, idiots, morons... you get the picture. These are some of the milder comments they have for conservatives. Some aren't so nice (ed: nor intelligent. Site comments throughly debunked here).

And yet these same conservative buffoons, cretins, etc keep winning elections and tricking the American people at every turn. This is due in part, apparently, to the vast right wing conspiracy that somehow is completely idiotic and capable of world-class Machiavellian scheming at the same time.

The incongruous statements about their political opposites never seems to raise an eyebrow among liberals, and in some odd way, seems to simply reinforce the ability of liberals to thrive in a contradiction-filled, reality-based world.

From the outside looking in, it would appear that in their minds, the existence of so many contradictions, is evidence that their reality should be based upon contradictions. Liberal logic seems to almost function like this:

Bushilter's war is for oil, because gas prices are higher.
Republicans are racists, because they believe in equal rights.
Conservatives are imperialists, because they spread democracy.

Is this logical? Of course not, and at a deeper level of consciousness, liberals must know this. The inherent illogic of this mindset contributes to another not-so-startling conclusion about liberals covered in Among the Left Branch Davidians, Part IV.

Update: Political Yen/Yang riffs very nicely of the ideas in this post and provides a much-needed historical refresher.
