David Horowitz does a fine job of reviewing and explaining the sickness that is the liberal mindset.
In this short, revealing essay, one of his comments is profound:
The strength of the virus [liberalism] derives from the meaning it supplies to meaningless lives, and the consequent good feelings — intoxicated feelings of virtue and self-righteousness — experienced by the devoted.
And one of his quotations is equally significant:
“The virus [liberalism] totally blocks the person from the ability to access, let alone comprehend, any facts and evidence that contradict his or her beliefs. Mountains of data have zero effect on already established views, simply because the person flatly rejects considering reading anything that would go against their ‘truth’. The person is terrified to look beyond his established viewpoint. They behave like the Church at the times of Galileo. They refuse to look through the telescope.”

Domestic "christian" Terrorist,
You do realize, don't cha, that you are listening to and following a self-professed failure?

"I have failed in twenty years of arguing this to persuade conservatives..."
David Horowitz is a loser's idea of a loser, and you willingly follow him. So, following this chump, where do ya think you'll end up?

I don't know, Ema, maybe I'll end up getting free health care from the government, free cars, free food, free needles, free condoms, free abortions, free marijuana and a green car.
But it's nice to see that you followed along with Horowitz's observation - you simply attacked him, labeled him a loser, and never dealt with the ideas he brought up.
You must be a liberal!

If that is what you want, good for you. Society does have lots to offer.
As for ideas, the person you follow admits he does not have anything new to say. He "failed in twenty years of arguing this..." Maybe he should find a new shtick, this one doesn't work.
Yes I am a proud Liberal Progressive. USA works best when it works for _all_ people.
You are a member of the Republicant Party, the party of NO.

Ema,
You said it yourself: "Yes I am a proud Liberal Progressive."
...which means that you, too are a sick, sick puppy.
