How "Liberals" View the World

John Hawkins has another of his number articles up on Townhall.com entitled The Six Problems with Modern Liberalism. I think he hits the nail on the head with this article. The fact is that "liberals," who should be called Statists, are often case studies for arrested development. They have sensibilities that did not develop much after the 6th grade. Their typical responses to many realities of life is to employ magical thinking, wishing away the bad things they don't want to hear. But go ahead and read the whole piece. It's not long. To give you a taste, though:

1) You really didn't learn everything you needed to know in kindergarten: Liberals love to think of themselves as sophisticated, nuanced intellectuals, but the truth is they have a kindergartner’s view of the world. If it has been defined as "nice" to people they like, they're for it. If it has been defined as "mean" to people they like, they’re against it -- and that is about as deep as it gets. Unfortunately, that lack of adult perspective isn't so cute in political leaders who are making life and death decisions that may still have ramifications fifty years from now.

Then there is this from the American Thinker, by Nancy Morgan entitled I wish I were a liberal. It's a tongue-in-cheek trashing of just how a liberal doesn't think clearly. The trouble is, she's correct. They are often rewarded handsomely for being complete idiots. Sigh...
