The problem with opposing the policies of the left is that its fundamental outlook is a negative emotion—guilt, self-hatred, fear, existential disillusionment. They are miserable people, don’t know why, and therefore require a boogeyman to explain away all of their trials. Anyone opposing them is the next coming of Satan, be it GWB or Sarah Palin. The mindset is that of the perpetually rebellious teenager. Conservatives are reasonable—unfortunately reason does not work with the left. They draw us into their game because they will not argue based on anything but unfettered emotion.
