The liberal psyche

"This, above all things, is what liberals fear most: fear of the responsibilities of freedom. Fear they’ll have to work for and to pay for everything they have for themselves. Fear they won’t be able to indoctrinate other people’s children through government schooling, paid for by forced taxation (upon threat of violence). Fear they might be dependent upon family members some day. Fear they may have to form and to maintain family ties. Fear that no one or nothing actually owes them anything. Fear that someone may not take them—almighty, brilliant, elite them—seriously. Fear they’ll have to have the courage to defend their own person and property. Fear of all the unpredictables of life (Oh! that we should above all things create as many government agencies as necessary—all funded via taxes extorted by threat of violence—to insure us from every uncertainty and contingency of human life: sickness, old age, disability, healthcare, unemployment, climate change, alien invasion, and even conversion to Christianity).
