In another thread, a poster asked if there were any liberals becoming disgusted with their fellows' increasing race-baiting.
A broader subject deserves a thread of its own, though: The liberals' growing tendency to move ever farther and faster to the left in all things.
One of the best things about today's liberal extremists (yes, I'm serious, read on) is that they have no controls, little discipline, and even less accurate sense of reality.
They really live in a fantasy world created by themselves and their cohorts. They will tell themselves that Michael Brown was surrendering when the cop shot him... telling themselves that so many times, that they will actually believe it, despite having heard no reliable testimony about it. And then, when the Grand Jury transcripts are released, showing six different witnesses (plus the cop) say that it wasn't that way at all, that he held his hands only to shoulder level and only for one second, before dropping his arms into a football blocking position and charging headlong at the cop, who kept yelling at him "Stop, stop!", before finally opening fire......
....The liberals will keep right on believing the (now obvious) lie anyway.
They have no connection to reality. They will believe their lie despite all evidence to the contrary. And then it is an easy step to believing that the cop WANTED to shoot a black man... and then just another small step to believing that the cop was secretly hunting black men to shoot... and on and on down into the depths of their delusions.
So why do I call that "one of the best things" about the liberals?
Because when they do that, more and more of them whose capacity for delusion is not quite as complete, eventually start realizing that the ones who keep doing it are insane, and hopelessly incorrigible. And they begin to distance themselves from the more extreme ones. And the extremists simply let them go... and even cast them off as "sellouts" or "closet conservatives"... still without ever considering the possibility that they, the extremists, are the ones who are wrong.
Liberalism carries in it, the seeds of its own destruction. Liberals cannot stay together as a group. Because some of them always run off the deep end and the group fragments, historically into a bloody civil war (or worse). There is no way to avoid this breakup. Sometimes it takes a long time (slightly more than a hundred years and counting in the United States), but the breakup always comes. (The Soviet Union only took 80 years, and post-WWI Germany only took around 25 years but got "help" from countries around them in their breakup).
The only problem with that the inevitability of leftist-liberal-fanatic breakups, is that if they gain enough political power before descending into the depths, they might take an entire country with them.
That other thread's question about any liberals being sick and disgusted with the race-baiting of their cohorts who are presently running things, will receive more and more "yes" answers as the division sharpens. But questions about people's disgust with class warfare, government expansion and micromanagement, cockeyed Keynesian economics, and all the other fatal tendencies of modern liberals, will likewise receive more and more "Yes" answers. But the division started generations ago, exemplified by people like Ronald Reagan who started as a Democrat, but eventually admitted "I didn't leave the Democrat party, the Democrat party left me". He recognized the inevitable destructive course of liberals quite early, and did the only sensible thing: Got out. As did many others.
It's the ones who maintain the same destructive course, despite all evidence and common sense, who will propel the party to its doom. But the fact that some of them presently occupy the highest offices in the land, puts the entire country at risk of being dragged down with them.
Elections like the one on Nov. 4, 2014, help reduce this number.
We can only hope that such elections aren't too little, too late.

Moderate Democrats got bitch slapped in 2010 and 2014, Bush elected for 8 years in spite of the 24/7 MSM campaign to destroy him. GITMO still open for business. ACA their one big win destroyed the Democrat majorities. Its great seeing the left get theirs.
