Liberals Really Despise “Ordinary” Folks Like You and Me

How much Do Liberals Really Hate Ordinary Folks?

A lot! I mean, to anyone who watches the news even once per week it is pretty easy to see that liberals cannot stand the average person. We are so divided as a nation, right now, and liberals seem like they’ve bitten the left side of the bullet but how much of it is for the cameras? According to American Thinker’s author, Jeffery Folks, the ‘angry liberal’ imagine isn’t just for show they may actually hate normal people. Take a look.

As Written By Jeffrey Folks with American Thinker:

Do they really hate ordinary people that much?

Yes, they do.  For liberals, the distinction between the “dumb masses” and their enlightened selves renders life meaningful.  Disdain for ordinary folks is not just an ancillary trait of liberalism.  It is fundamental to its nature.

At its heart, liberalism is a gnostic religion, and the essence of that religion is the believer’s faith that he possesses the means of changing the world for the better.  The belief that the world must be changed requires there to be a mass of individuals whose lives are in need of change.  Following this logic, it is the liberal, not those deplorables in need of change, who knows what must be changed.  For liberals, there must be a mass of people in need of this knowledge for life to make sense.

Above all, liberalism is a hubristic faith.  Its followers share the fatal flaw of pride in their own intellectual capacity.  This is why liberalism appeals so strongly to those in the knowledge trades: teachers, journalists, writers, psychologists, and social workers. The sense of “knowing more than others” is its strongest attraction – particularly to the young, who otherwise know so little.  Liberalism confers or seems to confer, almost immediate power and authority to those who embrace it.

The left’s obsession with superior knowledge runs through its entire history.  As Woodrow Wilson remarked, the “instrument” of political science “is insight.  A nice understanding of subtle, unformulated conditions.”  Lyndon B. Johnson thought “a president’s hardest task” is “to know what is right.”  And the most hubristic of all is Obama’s “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”  Yes, we are wonderfully bright, and we’ve been waiting eons for ourselves to appear.

The problem for the liberal is that most people do not want to be transformed.  They want life to be better but not qualitatively different.  It is only the liberal, or the “progressive,” as he prefers to be called today, who welcomes revolution and relishes the violent tactics necessary to bring it about.  For the progressive, it is an article of faith that the masses will resist change…
