Hate is evil. Nothing is worth hating except exclusive beliefs. There is no Day of Judgment. Dead from a broken heart. For years conservatives have asked themselves why the intelligencia tends to liberalism and even communism.
Conservatives are accustomed to thinking in rational, practical and economic terms.
Thus, we have forever attempted to impose upon the left some rational, practical or economic motive, or failing that, we have simply shrugged our shoulders and chalked up liberal motivations to emotionalism. Somehow, these explanations have proved unsatisfactory. It is not difficult to dredge up examples of leftist writers and leaders who cite guilt as the primary reason for their conversion to liberalism, most often saying they were ashamed to live in material abundance while others in the world suffered. We live at a moment in time in which the potential for regaining control over our lives is greater than ever. Socialism and communism abroad, and liberalism at home, are dying.
