Conspiracy Theories and Liberal Callers

Listening to Sean Hannity show and Ed Schultz show yesterday, I was listening to liberals calling in to talk about the problems facing our nation, and inevitably, most liberals identify the problems facing us today as conspiracies perpetrated by Big Oil, Wall Street, Big Business, etc.

For example, the reason they lose elections is not that they nominated poor candidates- it must be a Republican plot! In fact, it's always a plot. Once you really press a liberal, they always fall back on the fact that the reason why things are not working is that there is some group out there with nefarious ends. It's not the fact that their policies fail, it's always that there is some mysterious group out there trying to screw us over. It's not that their stopping drilling and pushing ethanol down our throats that made gas expensive- it's Big Oil. It's not their easy credit and house for everyone mentality that caused the mortgage racket to collapse- it's Wall Street. It's not their ineffective Middle East peace talks that don't work, it is the Jewish lobby.

To a liberal, there is no cause and effect, there is no reason, there is no logic- there is only some evil mechanisms going on in the background. Listening to liberals call in, some hinted at who might be behind all these bad things... some group of people with connections and money... located in the Middle East and America... these liberals hint about it... someone has to be controlling all these forces... someone... wait a minute... thinking like a liberal now... Jewish people make money, Jewish people got us involved in the Middle East... Jews must be at the root of all problems!
