“Collier and Hoeffler compare two contrasting motivations for rebellion: greed and grievance.”

I propose that there is a deeper set of embedded instructions going on here. Their perception and their projection is causing a feedback loop for them. They are stuck. Everyone has heard the argument from the left that the reason it didn’t work is that the people weren’t committed or some outside force caused the failure of the plan.

Perception. What one perceives is for that one the absolute truth.

Projection. What one does so that they don’t perceive themselves outside the norm.

The LEFT. Retarded development manifested in infantile behaviors. Basically at the two year old level.

Like the General said, “Don’t get stuck on stupid, son”.

So now that the LEFT proposes to force the rest of us down the road to perdition. Do we as gentlemen let them in the interest of being seen as morally superior? NO we do not. No more than you would let your whining teenager take the car out on his own before he has matured enough to have a reasonable chance at returning home unharmed and without citations from the local LEO.

Can we assert our dominance with words and speeches? Will a victory in the arena of ideas cause the perception of the LEFT to change? NO, because the American LEFT is in the unique position of security. There is no police state that sweeps you off the street and deposits you dead in the landfill. There are no roaming vigilante groups or Taliban to crack heads as payment for dissension.

So TSOS (Those Stuck On Stupid) will continue to project their perceptions onto those that do not stand up and sing the same tune as they do. Will we see the formation of LEFT wing militias such as the SDS if Obama and the left lose power in 2010? I would think so. But I won’t say absolutely yes. We have seen Obama’s call for a student corps of green shirts funded and as powerful as the US military for “internal security” operations…
