The thing I find striking about the KosKids quIotes is that I just don’t think they’re in it for health care and saving America, as much as they are for attaining personal power. I think in most cases, progressive liberals are young and untested — like Obama — and feel entitled to more respect, money and power –like Obama.

It’s that sense of entitlement that makes it so easy for them to become monstrous, plus the lynch-mob mentality that makes them so willing to use the power of the mob to further their efforts. The thing about being a part of a lynch mob, though, is that if you personally have the temporary power to destroy someone, it’s almost guaranteed that the mob sooner or later will also turn on you, and then you’ll be a dead little moonbat — still unemployed, still powerless, and still alone. With no universal health care.
