Why do liberals think they are smart while they are clearly ruining the country?

The question you posed is a VERY serious one. I feel strongly that they are in cahoots with the Mexican Government with the intent of turning at least part of the U.S. over to Mexico... they are using illegals, over 20 million at this time.. to ruin the economy and force serious concessions with Mexico.

because liberals pretend to be open minded and expect everyone else to be open minded, but your view is opposed to thier view, they lost thier open mindedness and replace it with hatred because they are smarter than everyone else so everyone else should follow thier view.

Liberals are a funny bunch.  They are hypocritical and completely self deceived.  How else could the term "limosine liberal" pack such a punch?\n\nIf you tell a liberal his words and actions add up to hatred for America, he will vehemently deny it.  But they do nothing to make our country stronger, more prosperous, and more secure.  All they do is b**ch all the time.  They offer nothing substantive to the debate.\n\nLike Lee Iacoca said back in the 1980s, "either lead, follow, or get out of the way".  I wish Liberals would just get out of our way.  Ronald Reagan set us on the right road, but liberals keep wanting to take a detour.\n\nMaybe, as in the case of uber-liberals like Al Franken, it's a form of self-loathing.  They realize, on some level, they don't deserve how good they've got it, and it makes them feel guilty.

I think the reason is that liberals believe that man is capable of being perfect without anybody's help. They think that all it takes is education. This is the reason behind much of their supposedly self-righteous anger at anybody who seems to diagree with them:\n\n"I've just explained my position to this person, and he disagrees! Since I can't possibly be mistaken, he might simply be too stupid to understand. I'll be patient and give him a second chance."\n\n(After explaining a second time,)\n\n"I've just explained my position to this person who was pretending to be honestly curious and he STILL disagrees! Since I can't possibly be mistaken, and he doesn't seem to stupid to understanmd, he must be DELIBERATELY pretending to be dumb in order to waste my time! That makes him a CAD as well as a HERETIC! What's more, he knows EXACTLY how much what he says and does irritates me, AND HE'S DOING IT ON PURPOSE!"\n\nThe above assumptions cover most if not quite all of the liberal position. People are not born liberal. What kind of person does it require to take an innocent child and turn them into a liberal...? I will tell you what kind of person you need. It takes a villain.\n\nYou correctly point out that liberals are dissatisfied with Christ, this is because they largely do not have a personal sense of sin. They see no need or a Savior, they do not recognize the moral response of guilt (" 'laws' are for the governed, not for the governor") and they have lost all sense of shame.\n\nLiberals appear to recognize guilt only as a means of manipulating people; they will not admit to a real sense of moral guilt because that would be to recognize a standard be behavior above themselves. They respond to attempts to put them on the same footing with the rest of the world as attempts to shame them, and their pride will not allow them to admit that they might be mistaken. So they castigate those who would criticise them, at the same time hurling terrible and vicious attacks against their opponents, in an attempt to shame their opponents. \n\nBecause they do not realize that there must be a basis to moral accusations, their attacks are largely built on emotional appeal, and are factually invalid.\n\nThis unyeilding effort to block all sense of personal responsiblity has its parallel in an individual psychological response, called malignant narcissism.\n\nMalignant narcissism was first described by a psychologist and author Dr. M. Scott Peck in his books The Road Less Traveled, and others. He describes the resistance of some hideously selfish people to recognize their own selfishness. This was his attempt to describe the moral condition traditionally called 'evil', in psychological terms. When faced with the 'good', evil must destroy it or be forced to face its own selfishness.\n\nIn American liberalism to day, I believe that we see malignant narcissism raised to the institutional level.\n\nThe group behavior of people may be either better or worse than their individual behavior. Among Christians we recognize that we ought to continue to assemble together on a regular basis becuse we will stimulate each other to love and good works more than if we do not meet regularly.\n\nAnd, we have (unfortunately almost daily in the news) seen reports of troublemakers who, egged on by their peers, commit even more heinous acts of violence and selfishness than they would have stooped to without such provocation. What makes organized crime and gang activity so bad and so dangerous to the community is the fact that it is organized. Organization is a 'good', which was made and intended to serve other goods. It is terrible that it has been coopted and enslaved to serve evil.\n\nSo it is with liberalism in America today. (By the way, I  hope nobody has misunderstood-- this is political liberalism I am talking about. Liberal Christians are a different matter, in terms

Do these people even read the question before they spout off that liberal bile?

I must be in the minority among liberals. I don't think Bush is stupid. I think he's very average intelligence-wise. He's also very shrewd. He knew after 9/11 that nobody would try to stop him forcing his agenda on the American people, as did the Republican controlled House and Senate. There are no "checks-and-balances" anymore. Anything they want, they get. He's just doing what most corrupt people would do.

Because they're smarter than all of the rednecked narrow-minded...oh sorry, I think I got caught up in some of the crap I've read on here.\nGood question.  I think the person who said it's because they're too lazy to find out who's REALLY in charge of the policies in the US is right.\nIt's this whole "Blame Bush" mentality.  It kinda reminds me of South Park: The Movie, actually, except instead of Canada, it's Bush.  Global warming?  It's Bush's fault!  Kids are doing drugs?  It's Bush's fault!  Gas prices are high, and there was a devastating hurricane that nearly destroyed New Orleans!  It's Bush's fault!  Another ten soldiers died today in Iraq!  It's Bush's fault!  I don't have a job!  It's Bush's fault!  Michael Moore hasn't made another movie!  It's Bush's fault!  Iran is seeking nuclear power?  It's Bush's fault!  WAAAAAAAAAAAH!\nPlease.  Give me a break.  Blame the Senators and Congress.  They're the ones who really run this country.\nPresident Bush isn't perfect, but he's not nearly as bad as he's made out to be, either.\nYou've got it right.  Good question.

They can't help it . Most were brainwashed in school. The smart ones figure things out when they get in the real world. Who in their right mind wants more taxes, to kill unborn babies, but worries about other animals. Wants more government. The democrats in power are rich like Republicans only they pretend to care bout the poor . Only to get their votes.None of the democrats ideas today work.

I'm for seeing if it's 16. Liberals are their own worst enemy. When they loose, they get so mad that they say what they really believe. That causes them to loose some more and so on.\nYes the Republicans are messing things up for themselves but watch the Liberals blow this chance to win.
