Not because they are inherently scatterbrained, but rather that there are so many varying levels of empathy. And unlike the conservatives that march in goose-step all together out of fear, liberals tend to think for themselves almost to the exclusion of working together.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565621013251370015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38764987.post-64853079861447234262010-10-28T08:43:51.685-05:002010-10-28T08:43:51.685-05:00I'll just save us the trouble and go right to ...I'll just save us the trouble and go right to Godwin. There, done. And utterly appropriate in this case. <br /><br />I have never had my head stomped at a rally, but I've been punched, wrestled to the ground, I had my hat pulled off and tossed away (which counts when it is near zero degrees F) and I've been squished, pushed, shoved, pulled and tripped.<br /><br />That's how Christians fight at rallies and protests.Greg Ladenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04857616630819182647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38764987.post-5283324382849104012010-10-28T07:00:43.267-05:002010-10-28T07:00:43.267-05:00John, I tend to agree with you.

I almost even used "empathy" in the post, but I was curious what others would have to say.Stephanie Zvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182490110208080002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38764987.post-17650593775371315862010-10-27T16:40:08.950-05:002010-10-27T16:40:08.950-05:00Liberals are characterized by empathy.

Anything that benefits others entails a loss for them or their group. This is why they insist on judging others as "undeserving" of compassion. <br /><br />A liberal defines fair as "fair to everybody" and sees sharing as benefiting all. They feel the pain of others and seek to end that pain by healing others.John McKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687505203164692983noreply@blogger.com
