[b]Oh this is long, but [u]well worth[/u] listening to.[/b] All this from a former Hollywood insider. Nice, I've sent this on. Great material.
I like this part: Rational thought has been taught as bigotry.
He referenced a book: [i]A Closing of the American Mind[/i]. I'm going to have to check that book out!!!

Wow. Harsh. But I've never heard anything so succinct.
Agree. Well worth listening to.

Is that guy good or what. You could break down almost every sentence he uttered and debate it. I watched the presentation, want to watch it again. He hits everything out of the park when it comes to describing Liberals.

I loved it! The only other point, I think, he should have made (he sort of did) is that Libs ardently strive to defend the underdog, whomever the underdog is at the time. [url=http://www.townhall.com/columnists/MichaelMedved/2007/03/21/the_essence_of_liberalism_embracing_lifes_losers]Michael Medved did a column[/url] recently on this very topic.

Medved is BRILLIANT and a fan of mine but he's got it wrong on this one. It is NOT the underdog status -- after all, tiny Israel, surrounded by oil-rich terrorists by the millions, should be considered the underdog, as, too, should be the powerless Kurds and Marsh Arabs in Iraq massacred by Saddam Husssein.
It's not underdogs the Modern Liberals support, it's evil and failure.

Talk about a closed mind... all liberals choose evil over good, would choose Saddam over America? Those are absolutely ridiculous generalizations. A true open mind wouldn't pledge complete blind allegiance to either political party. Issues are issues. Generalizing any group in order to have a target to attack is just hot air.

EricL,
As a predictor of how the nattering class left will react to any given situation Mister Sayet's thesis has a better than 90% accuracy from what I have seen. That makes it a theorem at present well supported by the available facts, your dislike for the theorem notwithstanding.
Evan, If you're the guy in the conference, I RELISHED that piece and have shown it to innumerable friends and family. Thank you!
As Medved said in his column, Israel doesn't look so much like an Underdog today. If the media played them as weak and beat... then the world would RALLY behind saving them.

Not true, Evan wasn't talking average "Kennedy Democrat"... the guy that has called himself a Democrat since his daddy told him that he was... He was talking about the current leadership of the Democrat party. I've heard the mantra from the leadership of the Democrat party and it fits to a T what Evan was saying. Kerry, Pelosi, Clinton, ETC... They embrace and embody evil in their sick desire for power. Their desire to be there coupled with their ability to promise you anything you desire, should be warning enough.
How many fairy tales do you need to read before the notion that "power corrupts" sinks in?
Is it just the Democrats? No... there are more bad seeds on that side of the aisle though.
For instance, Minimum wage laws are insidiously evil. Who champions the cause of the minimum wage?
Which party most likely follows an eon of moral clarity?

I don't see where Evan said that...? He was talking at a Libertarian think tank...

There comes a point, after there have been too many failed policies and ideas, where you just have to 'not listen' to them. Most of the Democrat leadership is now comprised of (either) remarkably stupid, (or) downright evil people. But they got there through the popular vote. The same vote that drove moderate Democrats (Lieberman)from the party.
