Frank J. Fleming (wrangler of the IMAO.US humor web site) ponders "Why are liberals still angry?" at Pajamas Media:

While conservatives can still openly call themselves conservatives and argue directly for things they like (such as gun rights and free markets), liberals still have to run from their label and never dare say out loud the things they want, such as socialism and single-payer health care. How could liberals not see this coming? Are they not as smart as they think?

Having to even contemplate such a horrible possibility is enough to drive a liberal mad.

So they lash out. Since they are obviously so smart (obviously!), the only reason anyone could oppose them is that the person is stupid and evil. Thus everyone protesting must be a stupid racist. It’s the only conclusion possible without having to reexamine the central tenet that liberals are super smart and should totally run everything. And if you were under the delusion that you were surrounded by stupid racists who won’t listen to your obviously smart ideas, wouldn’t you be pretty angry all the time?

My only quibble is the continuing, pernicious use of the word "liberal" to describe leftist "progressive" statists. True liberals (i.e. those who value liberty) need to reclaim that word. Other than that . . .
