Being a Liberal is about believing in Social Justice. Believing in opportunity for all people, and not just the elites.
This book is going to make him a lot of money, which is why he wrote it, but even though he has a doctorate, he obviously is a partisan, and a propagandist, excerpted from the thread, "Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave." He has me wrong. Also, I believe that the majority of liberals carry their orn responsibilities. Further, I do not demand that the government does not meet my needs, but I am tired of the government giving special privileges to the wealthy, like the No-bid contracts given to the non-liberal corporation, Halliburton. What sort of mental disorder is this? It is called Crony Capitalism!
Later from this book review:
Dr. Rossiter says the liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by:
creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization;
satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation;
augmenting primitive feelings of envy;
rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.
http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=56494I will respond as such:
1. The wealthy have the most connections, and have been using their power to get policy set for their own interests, this is unfair, and not per the 14th Amendment which provides for equal justice under the law. If there was a fair play, then the population would not be in an inferior position. Further, it shows how Heartless Dr. Rossiter is, he is reminding me of what Nazi Psychologists used to say about those that needed the Final Solution.
2. Further, Liberals wish to end victimization. And it is not infantile to want the words of our Social Contract, The Constitution, and its Amendments to apply to all people, not just the Rich, and Connected. Also, we are not wishing infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence, and compensation, we are actually wishing for policies which solve the problems of this world. There is not equal distribution of wealth and resources, and when the government gives one group more power to control such, this must be addressed, for the sake of justice.
3. Liberals do not reject the sovereignty of the individual, nor wish to subordinate him to the will of the government. We wish to increase the sovereignty of the individual, and lift him up to be more equal in opportunity. We believe that the government can be a tool of helping people become more sovereign, that the Government is not the enemy, but a tool.
The obvious reason Dr. Rossiter wrote this book is to make money, which it will. I will request it at my library so I may read it, but there is no way, I will give him any money. He is a propagandist.
