It’s not a recent observation on my part; it goes back decades, so I’ve had a long time to figure out the meaning of this peculiar phenomenon. Specifically, it’s that Conservatives like me seem to enjoy the lion’s share of being in a good mood, feeling optimistic, trusting that the many forms of rugged individualism can solve most problems, smiling easily and often, and generally seeing both the present and future as glasses half full.
Not one of these things can be said of leftists, and nothing brought that truth more vividly alive than watching the Democrat and Republican conventions in August.
DEMOCRAT DOOM….
On the one hand was the virtual presentation of a pitifully diminished candidate, propped up by a long line of speakers who had only bitter, nasty, negative and of course pessimistic things to say about our country. Did I forget racist? Here, writer Thomas Gallatin discusses Michelle Obama’s unfortunate presentation and the irony of a “party that loves to claim for itself the mantle of ‘diversity’ and ‘anti-racism’ [being] the same party that promotes racist identity politics.”
Not a single smile in four days––only relentless negativity. And not one word––from candidate Biden, VP candidate Kalamity Harris, the speakers, or their leftwing media whores––about the nearly three-month, non-stop rampaging destruction by the communist group Black Lives Matter and the anarchists of Antifa in committing daily and nightly acts of:
- Arson,
- Tearing down both black and white businesses,
- Destroying historical statuary
- Widespread grand theft,
- Violent assaults,
- Murder.
And, of course no mention in the entire Democrat convention that the crimes of these Biden supporters were taking place, significantly, in dozens of Democrat-run cities, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Kenosha, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York City, Phoenix, Portland, Richmond, Seattle, St. Louis, Washington, D.C., on and on.
h/t systemically confused
You can’t be grateful for the blessings in your life and be socialist. They are completely incompatible.
“…If you eat something bad, you can vomit it out. But when you feel bad and want to get rid of the feeling, you use projection––a psychological defense mechanism in which people attribute characteristics they find unacceptable in themselves to others. That’s why today’s Democrats project all of their terrible choices and failings onto President Trump. It’s simply another form of vomit…”
I’ve always known about projection, but this is the best description of liberal projection that I have ever read.
A lot immaturity on the Left. Adults who lie, cheat and steal then try to cover it up.
The lefties I’ve known are lifelong, chronic bitchers & moaners. You just get tired of that shit. Somethings wrong and it’s usually a conservative’s fault. Back in the day when I did galleries and shows, Lord enjoy yourself, Lord enjoy the art but no, couldn’t let that shit go one night.
It was the time of Reagan and understand, until Trump, he was an unapologetic conservative and they seethed. It ate them up that RR was so good natured. And he was winning too.
Now we have another no apology President who dishes it out better than any President in my life. They hate him 24/7. To the point they’re flushing the economic lives of millions of us down the toilet to hurt the President.
I spent time reading their papers and sites and the hate is turned up to 11. Dropping an obvious lie like today’s outrage, that the President called dead vets, losers, is like dropping red meat to sharks. The frenzy at CommonDreams is sickening, worse than their glee when Robert died.
Hard to believe they were raised in the same country as myself.
If the Left would actually succeed in their goals and totally eliminate the Right, who would feed them?
…it’s interesting that they mention DSM-V, because DSM-V was an Obama era rewrite of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV that, among other things, normalized homosexuality and tras-ism while setting the stage for normalizing pedophilia.
It also did away with the definition of narcissism that fit “Obama” to a T, and so HAD to be eliminated…
“Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is characterized by a “pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy” ”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2277465/
…pretty on-the-nose Barry, heh?
…wait, there’s more, here’s the WHOLE definition…
“Narcissistic DSM IV Criteria
A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
(1) has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
(2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
(3) believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
(4) requires excessive admiration
(5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
(6) is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
(7) lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
(8) is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
(9) shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes”
…so, under the DSM IV definition, “Obama” was mentally ill and should have been removed from the office he was ineligible for in the FIRST place.
…so let’s just use the Caligula method and just use the insane leader as the standard of sanity, shall we…

…it’s good to be the King…
In our little TX Hill Country town we happened to be behind a car with a bunch of Trump flags and it turned into a lot last Sunday of at least 100 cars with Trump flags. We wish we knew that was going on. Later someone sent a post from FB where someone said ‘Yike’s just got caught in the middle of a big long parade of Trump supporters with huge flags. They were driving around at 5 mph with a *surprising* amount of support, thumbs up, honks and ear-to-ear smiles from folks coming the other way.’ Surprising? Only if you are an angry liberal. This was countered by two old people with masks on and a Biden sign jumping up and down outside screaming. Which team do you want to be on?!
On a related note, where in the world is KAM-a-la?
I have seen several times where leftists have said that capitalism was not able to handle the pandemic. What they don’t realize is that, under socialism, they would have been worse off before the pandemic than capitalism is with the pandemic.
Democrat’s suffer from numerous mental disorders. 🤯
I would be miserable too if I hated and disobeyed God (i.e. murder by abortion, and celebrate every sexual perversion).
Their religion is secular humanism, hence their obsession with the AGW hoax, seizing power and control through socialism (e.g. marxist BLM, nationalized healthcare), and their obsession with identity politics (so their virtue-signaling can make them feel better about their empty lives).
Take God out of your heart and the vacuum is filled by evil. Oh, and don’t lie to yourself. You cannot be a good Christian and a Democrat. You cannot serve God and Satan simultaneously.
