@Rimsuyasi: "The Care and Feeding of Progressives
By Robin of Berkeley
I've had to ask readers of my blog to register in order to post
comments.=A0 There are three reasons why:
Trolls
Trolls
Trolls
(By the way, I often tell clients that there are three rules for dealing
with the character disordered:=A0 "Boundaries, Boundaries, and
Boundaries." Not surprisingly, the same can be said about extreme
progressives.)
When I started my little blog, it didn't occur to me that trolls would
come out in droves.=A0 Why would leftists expend their energies on me?
And why would they subject themselves to scrutiny by a licensed
psychotherapist?
But apparently, numerous trolls have been drawn to me, like venomous
bees to honey. These trolls use the same weaponry of other extreme
progressives: shame and degradation. 
They try to use ridicule as sort of stun gun, immobilizing the other.
(Another interesting tidbit: People with character disorders do the very
same thing. Coincidence?) 
As a psychotherapist, I can see right through them to who they are and
how they operate. Nonetheless, I still remain curious about these creepy
crawlers, whom I have dubbed "My Friends, the Enemy." (This is my
generally futile attempt to be magnanimous like the Dalai Lama, who uses
the phrase to describe the Chinese.)=A0=A0 
I wonder to myself: Where do these trolls come from? Where do they live
and breed?=A0 
Do they write in dank basement rooms while their bedraggled girlfriends
(or moms) pick up their dirty shorts? Do they intermix trolling with
downloading internet porn?=A0 (I'm not being snarky here; I'd bet good
money that violent smut gives them endless inspiration.) 
Are these cyber-stalkers getting paid from a Soros organization? If so,
why can't they find more respectable employment? (Hmm...I suppose the
answer to that question is rather obvious.)
The creepy thing is that in the minds of trolls, and other extreme
Progressives, their behavior is as normal as apple pie. This is because
their worldview is amoral and asocial. Therefore, the merit of hurling
insults at a complete stranger is a no-brainer. 
Many leftists are positively clueless about how to conduct themselves in
a civilized manner.=A0 Believe me, I have tried over and over to engage
some =A0any =A0in a respectful discussion.=A0=A0 
Although I rarely give up on people, I have had to conclude that many
extreme progressives are not simply choosing to be vicious. They do not
know how to restrain themselves.
For instance, a progressive e-mailed me with the following, "Man, you're
really messed up." I replied, scolding her, explaining that her remark
was inappropriate.=A0 
She responded this way, sounding genuinely confused and shocked: "I was
trying to be sympathetic! I really didn't mean to hurt your feelings."
And in this case, I actually believed her!
The most hardcore of the leftists seem almost feral, wild, and
undomesticated. Many lack even the most rudimentary of social skills;
some people may very well be diagnosable on the autism spectrum.=A0 
Many militants are devoid of an essential ingredient of being human:
empathy. While they exude endless compassion for an endangered snail,
they are contemptuous of living, feeling human beings. This is why they
can cavalierly imagine snuffing out Granny, a late-term fetus, or, in
fact, anyone who gets in their way.
With the progressives in charge, we now live in "interesting times," to
quote the Chinese curse. There's a breakdown in the basic rule of law
that keeps a society knitted together. Without the moral fiber to stitch
us, it's survival of the fittest  every man and woman for themselves.
It's no coincidence that God has also been shunned, because God is the
thread that weaves together the rich tapestry of life. With
Judeo-Christian values missing in action, the left engages in a manic
free-fall-all. They afford themselves free rein to act out their basest
of impulses. 
The more extreme progressives have no impulse control whatsoever. They
act more primitively than a wild beast as they beat up opponents and
sexually degrade conservative women.
These progressives are engineering a New World Order, which is dark and
devolved and completely unlivable. Their actions remind me of a famous
quote by Gandhi about Western civilization.=A0=A0=A0 
When asked what he thought about Western civilization, Gandhi replied,
"Western civilization? I think it would be a good idea." One could say
the same thing about progressives' civilized behavior. 
I hope the newly elected conservatives will have the courage and
intestinal fortitude to create some order out of the chaos. If they can
break up this manic (Democratic) party, there's hope for this country
yet.

hell, the people she attacks sound just like you, K, kay, ocean or any
other right-wingerguess she doesn't know what a "liberal, leftist"
isjust somebody who disagrees with her fantasy, fictional world"
    @masmo: "She sounds very much like fay.   fay wants to post anything she likes
without being questioned.   Anyone who questions fay, or criticizes what
she posts is to be considered a "troll."   That's very much like the
conservative mindset.   They think they "own" god, and "own" morality.
They think that their way is the ONLY right way."
