Brent Littlefield is the latest to point out this liberal phenomenon.
One has to have a certain arrogance to beleive that he or she is intellectually positioned to micromanage the lives of others for the benefit of society and that they possess the knowledge to do so via government intervention. The compulsion to do this is founded on a fundamental belief that your fellow citizen is incapable of effectively running their affairs and that the liberal is better informed to do so. That is what I mean by arrogance.
Here’s another way of putting it:
Liberals feel compelled to give others a personally conducted tour through life.
There is a certain element of insecurity which is manifested when one believes he or she must order the daily affairs of others or the world isn’t right.
Liberals don’t offer advice, they mandate or ridicule standards of behavior which they often exempt themselves from. Obamacare is the latest example of exemption; it won’t apply to Congress or other government employees. Other recent examples include engineering Congressional pay raises while attacking private employer pay and ridiculing executive use of private aircraft while they themselves use the same type of aircraft for their junkets and attempt to buy even more of the planes at our expense.
“Do as I say, not as I do” “What is good for me is not necessarily good for thee.”
There lurks a goodly amount of hypocrisy just under the surface of your garden variety liberal; and by the way there are more than a few Republicans who fit the definition and act accordingly.
