FEEEEEEELINGS!

Its why you can NOT reason with a confirmed Fundamentalist Liberal. They don't use reason, except as the slave to their emotions. That liberalism got such a boost in the 60's makes perfect sense- drug users are obsessed with "how they feel," and feeling good is the point of all they do. It has now gone beyond mere drug use and has become THE guiding light, as taught and enforced in academia and the MSM. Its why liberals are so strangely unconcerned with the actual results of their misguided actions. Results are not the point. Feeling that one is a good person is the point. Its the buzz.

Peter Berkowitz has an excellent piece touching on this subject. From the article:

Bush hatred and Obama euphoria -- which tend to reveal more about those who feel them than the men at which they are directed -- are opposite sides of the same coin. Both represent the triumph of passion over reason. Both are intolerant of dissent. Those wallowing in Bush hatred and those reveling in Obama euphoria frequently regard those who do not share their passion as contemptible and beyond the reach of civilized discussion. Bush hatred and Obama euphoria typically coexist in the same soul. And it is disproportionately members of the intellectual and political class in whose souls they flourish.
