Nixon was not a leftist, for all his other faults, and the Left's sine non qua is RAGE. The history of the Left is one of violence and thuggish behavior, a direct result of this bitterness and anger. It's one of the reasons the Left had SO much venom for, in particular, folks like Palin and Reagan, and even Bush Jr., who were/are seemingly innately happy and optimistic people. The desire for betterment of Man is NOT what drives the Left; it's the desire to control and for revenge (against what? Bad childhoods, who knows what else?) It's why Alinsky, a man who dedicated his work to Satan, is the author of the guidebook for the modern Left....Alinsky makes Machievelli look like a pussy cat.

I won't tar every "liberal" with that brush, as I have friends who I consider quite content, but are politically liberal. I find they often have no real notions of how bad socialism/collectivism is, but they truly are NOT mean-spirited people. The wolves, however, that are on that Far Left, however one wants to define that...a more bitter group of human beings is hard to find. I truly believe some just like the ability to steal....which this administration has done successfully to a degree much further than most (and I don't exonerate other administrations, Repub or Dem from doing a lot of stealing too, but not on this kind of scale)....but for so many of the members of the Admin, this is about the massive mental chips on their shoulders....they are all victims, don';t you know...so they don't see anything wrong with their hate and thuggish behavior. It's a group of sociopaths.

Obama is the poster child for this group. A man who had a completely unstable childhood, raised by nuts and perverts, who hung around later with other enraged sickos (like Bill Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn), and Michelle, bitter inside as the day is long. Why others raised in unstable circumstances with worse things to happen don't end up embittered, I don't know. I'm no psychiatrist, but however it does happen, I think that's the root of what the Left is. A way to get revenge on the happy people!
