"Liberals are also emotionally quite insecure. They pursue the politics of persons with an acute insecurity/inferiority complex. This is why they like to call themselves "Progressives". They appropriated this moniker to feed their egos."

"Liberals essentially suffer from a sense of inadequacy and self-loathing. They invent a set of internal rationalizations to make themselves feel good about themselves. This sense of inadequacy, of inferiority, causes them to develop a façade of worth and virtue. They begin to believe that they, and only they, have a monopoly on virtue."

So, ultimately, with liberals, it comes down to the pursuit of the "Hip", the avant-garde, the "progressive" idea. They have an intense need for validation. These are misguided people who are using leftist politics as a crutch for their own inadequacies. Whether it's a simple case of arrested adolescent develoment, or the internalization of social rejection in their youth, or gender issues, it's all played out as a search for meaning in their lives. They seek "empowerment" through the weakening of their perceived enemies. They work under the delusion of being "The Annointed". Add to that a childish and romantic attachment to the socialist fantasy, and there you go. The politics of fantasy."

There is another aspect to liberalism. A form of cultural elitism and prejudice that in it's most extreme form, is a form of cultural imperialism. Urban liberal elites, believing that their culture, ideas, and lifestyle is superior to all others form opinions and prejudices against those who they perceive to be their "lessers", those who they perceive to be of a lower culture or lower social class. This includes their cultural and political opponents. This definitely means that there exists a culture war between liberals and non-liberals. For many liberals for whom liberalism is a secular faith, this implies a form of pseudo-religious war, a jihad, in a sense. If you think about this culture war in the terms of a jihad, then the actions of liberals, and their reactions to conservative ideas begins to make sense."

"Ultimately, liberals are so morally arrogant, so elitist, that they automatically disqualify and dismiss conservative arguments and ideas from the sphere of consideration. Like religious fanatics (which in a sense, they are) they dismiss and reject blasphemous and heretical thought. Thus, conservative ideas are ignored, even rendered invisible. Until it's too late. This is why liberals never learn. For, if they are rarely, if ever exposed to conservative thought, they never really get a grasp on what and how we think. They dwell in a world of myth and folklore, trading on their superstitions about the right. Furthermore, since they believe only they possess a monopoly on virtue and goodness, conservatives must therefore be "evil". So, for liberals, since we are evil, there's no point hearing us, arguing with us, or even considering our arguments."

Thus, for liberals, since it can only be that their opponents, conservatives, must be the possessors of "evil". And thus, they render conservatives illegitimate and their ideas, beyond the pale. This moral and cultural arrogance prevents them from truly understanding their adversaries, conservatives. If conservatives' ideas are illegitimate, nay even evil, there's no point studying them, or examining them. The result is that liberals are essentially ignorant about conservatives and what they believe. They trade in liberal-spawned myths about conservatives and conservatism, and the live in a world of false-hoods and shibboleths, constantly spinning the same tired clichés about conservatives. "
