Many do so because of false or lack of information, but I believe it goes beyond that, I believe the answer must lie in the psyche of the liberal mind; I often find myself in disbelief when I engage in conversation with some of my liberal friends,   liberals do not seem to analyze problems and solutions the same way that we do. I know this may be insulting to some, but that is not my intent, I have honestly arrived at this conclusion not as a result of anger or disdain, but in a genuine attempt to reach across the aisle, in an attempt to comprehend my fellow men or women; I do so in a compassionate sort of way.

A liberal will react emotionally towards a problem and will be lead to do almost anything (however irrational), if you are able to appeal to their sentiments rather than their rational. You may reach a liberal by fainting compassion, or by exacerbating their hate, either will work, this is why the demagogues from the left must always have a victim and a villain to blame for all of the “victim’s” real or manufactured wrongs.

The past few months offer a unique opportunity to illustrate the above mentioned point of view, these days we have a “demon de jour” every month, first the speculators, then the oil companies, the AIG executives, Wall Street, the predatory lenders, the doctors, the pharmaceuticals, the car companies, the insurance companies; all villains, all corrupt, all greedy, until they succumb to the all mighty benevolent Obama and then by the grace of thee, they suddenly become acceptable decent citizens once again.

What else but pure emotional and irrational acts can possibly explain some of the misfortunes of so many of our societies? Demagogues and progressives are the same everywhere, but the villains change according to the circumstance, Castro had the “Yankees”, Hitler had the “Jews”, the Democrats had “Bush”, and Obama has a new one every month, depending upon what sector of the economy he is set on destroying and taking over at any given time.

To liberals it doesn’t matter that their leader lies and throws fictitious numbers to the wind, somehow they rationalize it as something that needs supporting for the all encompassing “greater good”, it doesn’t matter that the policies and initiatives are destructive and fail miserably, as long as the profess intentions satisfy their emotional state of mind.

Therefore nothing that their leader says or does, regardless of its inaccuracies or failures, will dissuade the liberal from supporting their chosen one, liberals will continue to follow like zombies, because their beliefs are emotionally burnt into their minds, their beliefs are like their religion, theirs is a “faith-based-believe”, as oppose to a “reasoned-based-believe”, which explains why when challenged with facts, however irrefutable they may be, they will not register, those among you who have experience this, know exactly what I am talking about.

Regardless of the evidence before you, you will be accused of having fallen prey to some right wing conspiracy, or to Republican propaganda, or whatever else; and then when all else fails, there is the all times favorite… It’s Bush’s fault.

President Reagan said it best, as he often did; "It's not that liberals are ignorant or stupid, it's just that they believe so many things that aren't so."

I concur.
