Dear reader, I myself in this essay helped to foster this false impression that the Leftist cult belief and their delirious vision is a theory by calling it ‘a theory.’
I lied. It is not a theory.
It is crack cocaine.
The Leftists are people who abandon their innate intelligence and moral stature and who deliberately make themselves to be stupider than average, less moral and upright and decent than average, who at once combine the worst features of a self-deceived fool and a self-deceiving conniving con-man. The only thing that saves them from the constant pain of the dentist drill of their conscience, the constant clamor of their wretched self-esteem telling them that they do not deserve to live, the only thing, indeed, keeping them alive, is their false and inflated sense of sanctimony.
Each one is a Judas, who has betrayed all he holds dear. The only reason why he does not hang himself from the nearest redbud tree is because he adopts the numbing hypocrisy of the Pharisee.
There is no greater high than to fly on the drug of smug moral superiority. You may look down your nose at all fashion of men greater than you in every other way, but if they are evil and you are righteous, the savory odor of your righteousness in your own nostrils is finer than myrrh. It is more than wine which mortals drink; it is nectar of the gods.

I would hate to think what Mr Wright and all those like him would do if they lived in a country where there was actual left wing political parties instead of the imagined left wing politics of the, by European standards, rightwing conservative Democrats in America.
It only proves how rightwing America is when the Democrats are considered leftwing.
(Changed two words; that's all I need to do to make it apply to Rightists)

You and your ideological/writing buddy Vox Day should know a lot about that, eh, Jonny?
John's a fine one to be talking about delirious visions, since that's what led him to religion in the first place.
The question to always ask is, what follows? If leftists are all these terrible things, what, exactly, are you proposing should be done about it? The answer you get, if any, is very telling.
Each one is a Judas, who has betrayed all he holds dear.
And what might that be?

I wouldn't know; I can see you have experience in smug moral superiority, so I'll have to take your word on that.
Yup, it's crack cocaine that makes you think like this, alright.
If "the Leftists" did indeed abandon their innate intelligence and moral stature and made themselves be stupider than average, they would be taken for redneck republicans.
You really seem to suffer from this "false and inflated sense of sanctimony", whatever that is.
So, "the Leftists" abandon moral stature and moral uprightness, you say, therefore it can't be them who "fly on the drug of smug moral superiority". It must be you, then. Who's the hypocritical Pharisee's now...
John likes to smell himself? eewwwww
You can't hang much of anything from a redbud tree, even the oldest ones have pretty small branches. Also, they're native to North America.
@Hasan Prishtina:

Judging from right-wing radio, it must be the following:
- Allowing millionaires and billionaires to make even more money by exploiting their workers and paying no taxes
- Removing all social programs that might help poor people
- Treating women as property who have no rights or control over their body
- Suppressing minorities by making their access to voting more difficult
- Treating LGBT people as subhumans
- Forcing christian prayer and creationism into public schools
Funny thing is, I must have been brainwashed by "liberals" because I don't remember ever holding those things dear.
@#1653166: You can't hang much of anything from a redbud tree, even the oldest ones have pretty small branches.
Glad to see I'm not the only tree nerd who was thinking that. Our redbuds are so gorgeous right now that you can't miss them, and I don't remember seeing any that looked large enough to hang a person under. John's so dumb he can't even get his advice about how his "enemies" should kill themselves right.
the savory odor of your righteousness in your own nostrils is finer than myrrh.
So you're telling us that you never shower anymore, John?
Ad hominems all over the place! Gahh!!!
And okay,a thing about Judas. Christians should be thanking him for fulfilling the only purpose Jesus had in being sent to Earth in the first place. He was only doing exactly as he was supposed to be doing as the supposed omniscient God planned.
Nearly the same comment I made on its other post : there are bad guys on every side.
But when one sees only good guys on its side and only bad guys on the other ones, fundyism is not far. And when it's done with such a style , bingo, you've found a true fundie.

This totally reads like cognitive dissonance. Someone must have burned him really hard with facts and he realized that he didn't have a snappy, canned answer and that realization terrified him. The infantile temper tantrum was inevitable. Then again, that's all this guy seems to do.
Translation: You couldn't possibly disagree with the shining obvious correctness of my position, so you must be a horrible self-deceiving liar, because only someone like THAT could possibly disagree with me and my awesome wonderful opinions, and STOP LAUGHING!
"...the constant pain of the dentist drill of their conscience, the constant clamor of their wretched self-esteem telling them that they do not deserve to live..."
I think somebody's projecting their own issues a bit.
Also, is it just me or is that last paragraph reeeaaally flowery and purple prose-y?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
