A few days ago I had the displeasure of once again listening to MSNBC personality and radio talk show host Ed Schultz go absolutely ballistic on a caller who happened to have the gall to disagree with him. In this instance the caller was a retired 23-year veteran of the United States armed forces who called into Schultzs show to help set the record straight concerning the effect on active duty and retired military of the healthcare law. Schultz gave the caller all of about twenty seconds before becoming thoroughly unglued, hollering at one of our vets, berating him, calling him full of crap, disparaging and ultimately hanging up on him. The exchange may be heard here. This is far from unusual behavior from the progressive left. As a person who blogs, writes and sends newsletters, tweets, and administers multiple Facebooks I log a lot of e-miles every week. And in those journeys I encounter many, many progressive liberals, and boy are they upset. Even though theyve been in control of the country for the last seven years! They call into talk shows, bang away on keyboards, and post comments that ultimately come back to the basic premise of, If you dont think or believe as I think or believe -- you are an idiot. Ive reached the conclusion that liberals, especially hard left ultra-liberal/progressives, exist in a state of unhappy discontents. I dont mean these people never smile, have no friends, and just sit around in the dark, sulking all day. Its not so much that theyre unhappy people -- though many are -- as much as theyre constantly unhappy with their own, their nations, and the worlds situation. Theyre seldom if ever happy with the way things are and thus always on a war path to change things. Think about how our president campaigned and won. Hope and Change was his slogan for the 2008 election. Prior to his first swearing in he quipped, Were just five days away from fundamentally changing America. Why the need for all this change? You typically want to change something if youre not happy about its current state. This is the mantra of left-wing liberalism, Weve got to change all this because the way it is now stinks. This seems to be how they feel about virtually everything.
