UNDERSTANDING LIBERALS

Great experpt from the book, Why I Am a Reagan Conservative at Gay Patriot:

. . . leftists do believe they derive their values from reason. Consequently, they are always getting into a state of hysteria if reason threatens to take them in some direction that they don’t, in their unexamined way, want to go.

This explains one of the characteristic sights of American debate: liberals in a moralistic snit. Liberals are always in a moralistic snit because their standard operating procedure makes no clear distinction between reason and morality. Everything they do and say is suffused by emotion, in an unstable and unpredictable way. Hence “political correctness” and the extraordinary range of American taboos familiar to all working journalists–for example, about race and gender.

This further underscores my question: HOW do you reason with them when they are not operating using reason? The only hope is discussion with those not yet assimilated into the matrix. Once they have been, they're gone and nothing you can say or do will have any effect.
