If logic and reason were all that was necessary to defeat leftists and their ruinous ideology, conservatives would win every election and movie stars would earn minimum wage.
I was a bystander in an online debate recently over the subject of anger in parenting (“It’s bad for parents to be angry when they punish their children” and the counter-argument “No, it isn’t”). The debate was interesting in an academic way, but the vast majority of people who vote aren’t swayed by logic or reason.
That’s why Alinsky in particular and the Left in general are so effective: They appeal to raw, unbridled emotion. It’s also why LibProgs since Wilson have been pining for the moral equivalent of war (William James, I believe) as an organizing force to impel people to “get in line” and “do their fair share.”
After all, wars are not logical. Each side in a conflict portrays the other as an evil villain that must be defeated in order to preserve or restore harmony. That’s how you convince young men to go off to war to kill people and break things.
Did you notice how animated, loud, boisterous, and angry the protesters in Madison, WI, were? Contrast that with the solemn, polite, sentimental, and tidy 9-12ers and Tea Partiers.
Who do you think would win in a street fight?
My money’s on the SEIU goons and unionista thugs.
I think we need to inject more emotion into the debate if we ever hope to defeat the LibProgs. Nobody cares how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. But they’ll watch every emotion-charged episode of American Idol.

You see? Leftists LOOOOOVE authoritarians. Jonah Goldberg documents the history of the leftist love affair with authoritarian rule in Liberal Fascism. If you haven’t read it yet, you definitely should.
That’s why the over-the-top faux “hatred” of Dubya was so revealing. Remember how the leftists portrayed Dubya as “Bushilter”? All those thinly-veiled references to Bush as dictator, stomping on our civil liberties, etc.
It was all just PROJECTION. Truth is, the tendency toward authoritarianism is a LEFTIST imperative. It’s like a gravitational well that leftists cannot resist.
But the projection serves a much darker purpose, as well. Comparing Dubya to Hitler and portraying him as a fascist cleared the way for the REAL fascism to come. No one really believed that Bush was a fascist dictator. It was patently absurd, ridiculous. So now, when our civil liberties really are at stake, when over half of the private industry in this country is effectively nationalized by this . . . REGIME, when Constitutional protections meant for American citizens are bestowed to radical Islamist enemy combatants (who, incidentally, would murder us by the tens of thousands if given the opportunity), when all these horrible things AND MORE come to pass, the citizenry are woe to accurately describe what is actually happening because it sounds just like what the Left was attributing to G.W. Bush!

Oscar-winning director Woody Allen said this week that he liked President Obama and his policies so much he wished Obama become dictator and implemented his plans by force.
“I’m thrilled with Obama, I think it’s great. The Republican Party should get out of their way and stop trying to hurt him,” Allen told reporters at Cannes. “It would be good if it could be a dictator for a few years, because he could make a lot of good things quickly.”
With this comment, Allen joins actor Sean Penn in the list of ubber-Leftists celebrities with fascistic tendencies. Penn said in March that journalists should be arrested for criticizing Venezuelan dictator-president Hugo Chávez.
