I think I'm finally understanding the right wing brain. This, from personal experience.
   

I discovered this from having e-mailed with a right winger for a long while, and from being with a boyfriend who is a Libertarian (which to me, just means the person is a right winger but trying to seem cool). My relationship with the Libertarian is slowly dying, and leaving an ugly trail.

But I digress.

About right wingers:

I think right wingers are astounded by, and almost WORSHIP, authoritarian types of individuals. The meaner the better. They see them as heroes.

Symbols of patriotism (JUST THE SYMBOLS, MIND YOU, INCLUDING WAR, NOT AUTHENTIC LOVE OF COUNTRY AND LOVE OF FELLOW MAN), thrill them.

Right wingers get into all that militaristic, tough, punitive attitude. They have a certain abhorrance of weakness (maybe except in their woman).

Very important is the fact that right wingers DESPERATELY NEED to have an enemy. They are repelled by the idea that 'everyone' should be one and get along. They do NOT feel comfortable with the lack of an enemy, and they need to have something to compare themselves to, someone lesser, someone they ascribe negative qualities to, so THEY themselves can feel superior and better, more Godly, etc. etc.

These are people that CANNOT and DO NOT feel good about themselves unless someone somewhere is suffering and being punished.

Has anyone else found this to be true in his/her dealings with right wingnuts?

Project much oh bitter one?

Where do they get this shit that conservatives love authoritarianism?  It's the liberals that are authoritarian, wanting to dictate to everyone what to do in every aspect of their lives except the bedroom.  Liberal city councils banning this and that every day.  Even the DUmp admits it gives liberals a bad name.

They are repelled by the idea that 'everyone' should be one and get along.

No, not repelled, just intelligent enough to realize that it is NEVER going to happen. Human nature will always win out.  You DUmmies are living proof of why it won't happen.  Your greed and jealousy makes you hate everyone that has more than you.

This from the group who fantasizes about fellating Hugo Chavez and wants their lord and saviour 0 to expand government so it controls all aspect of life.

That one's juicy!

Despite the free-willed nature of libertarians, they typically do prefer to date women who bathe regularly.  They might also prefer a woman with an IQ higher than 40, but that might just be me.

But I digress.

What do you mean almost?  I have a shrine of Reagan in my living room.  How dare you question the stridency of my religion...

War is a symbol?

Right wingers get into all that militaristic, tough, punitive attitude. They have a certain abhorrance of weakness (maybe except in their woman).

Is that why Democrats have started almost every war since 1776?

Very important is the fact that right wingers DESPERATELY NEED to have an enemy. They are repelled by the idea that 'everyone' should be one and get along. They do NOT feel comfortable with the lack of an enemy, and they need to have something to compare themselves to, someone lesser, someone they ascribe negative qualities to, so THEY themselves can feel superior and better, more Godly, etc. etc.

I really do try to get along with everyone, especially those who think I should be taxed at ever-increasing rates while this same group spends money like a drunken sailor (no offense to drunken sailors) and who think that I need to be told what to think, what I can't think, what I can say, what I should eat, what I should drive, how I should drive, etc.  As for needing an enemy, as long as democrats keep trying to roll back freedoms, I don't think we'll ever run short of enemies.

These are people that CANNOT and DO NOT feel good about themselves unless someone somewhere is suffering and being punished.

This is false.  Unless it's a liberal being punished, then I'll be honest, I do feel pretty good about it.  Generally if someone is being punished, though, it's because they did something wrong and deserve it.  Otherwise, it's not really punishment, is it?  I do understand that liberals like to defend criminals and prosecute victims, though.

Has anyone else found this to be true in his/her dealings with right wingnuts?

Absolutely.

No, you're not.  You're not even close. 

Liberals, on the other hand, are entirely predictable by anyone that has progressed past the age of five.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Yeah, I don't believe that any of what SarahMoonbat wrote describes me at all.

[Chris_]

Watching DUmmies play the I-know-what-the-other-guy-is-thinking game is laughable.  They are not, nor have they ever been, right about anything.  All one has to do is read Will Pitt's article comparing the President to a backup alarm on a forklift.  It was horrible.

[DumbAss Tanker]

...Nor will they ever be.  On the bright side, it sounds like that poor bastard she's been emotionally abusing is getting closer to being a free man again.

Ms. Sarah Ibarruri is pretty upset with his royal highness the anointed one as of late.  I've read about her disgust at being "fooled" by him in several threads on the Island.

You're a mole and you haven't figured a damn thing out about people who subscribe to an indeology that you can never understand, you can never understand loving a Country and a Flag enough that we (the right) would never spit on it or harm it, you'll never understand that there are enemies out there that have to be confronted, heck you probably think it's cute as pie that China, Russia and Iran have formed a strong alliance, you idolize weakness because it makes you feel good. You have a hell of a lot of nerve trying to analyze us, analyze yourself and analyze why you've treated a perfectly nice and decent guy (your words) like crap even though I think you're a mole and you're saying those things about him to make the left look horrible which you've succeeded in doing.

[Skul]

Must have smoked some really bad bud.

[jukin]

Worship authoritarianism = wanting smaller and limited government.

1+1=POTATO.

That must be some mighty powerful weed that the DUchebag is smoking.

Oh and Local 135 Projectionist Union International wants their dues for this month.

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

And in the next thread they're going to curse us for dismantling the government so that we all cannot afford medical coverage because we've been ravaged by plagues from unsafe food because we poisoned all the gay penguins.

[Mr Mannn]

Threads like this are a dime a dozen at the DUmp....

In the Art of War, Sun Szu said, "Know your enemy."

I've been to the various liberal forums. I know how they think. But they haven't the foggiest clue about us.
I feel much safer knowing my enemies are raving idiots.

Everyone getting along needs to be facilitated -- you apparently never learned anything on the schoolyard play ground.     

Human nature and all.  Go figure.

Oh, you mean like telling people they can't circumcise their baby boys...no that won't work...how about forbidding soft drinks in school...no that won't work either...oh, I know, relegating protesters to caged free speech zones during your convention...crap that's not good...speech codes at university...nope...a fairness doctrine that forces radio stations to put liberal talk show hosts on...oh definitely not that...wanting to squelch the speech of those you disagree with...hmmm this is harder than I thought...declaring every Christian symbol worn or displayed where athiests can see it offensive, thus needs to be hidden from view...forcing government health care on everyone...oh heck, I give up!

Yeah because all those men and women (and the families who support them) in the military out of a sense of duty to country surely don't put their butts in harms way because they hate their country. As for your fellow man bullshit, it's not us that wants to keep minorities on inner city plantations just to have a group so dependent on you they'll continue to vote for your party.

Right wingers get into all that militaristic, tough, punitive attitude. They have a certain abhorrance of weakness (maybe except in their woman).

Well, you've got it partly right, I abhor weak men. As I've said before if I wanted a *****, I'd be a lesbian. And I'm hardly a shrinking violet.

Very important is the fact that right wingers DESPERATELY NEED to have an enemy. They are repelled by the idea that 'everyone' should be one and get along. They do NOT feel comfortable with the lack of an enemy, and they need to have something to compare themselves to, someone lesser, someone they ascribe negative qualities to, so THEY themselves can feel superior and better, more Godly, etc. etc.

And yet, every other thread on DU is about your vicious hatred of the right and/or how superior you are mentally. That's called having an enemy and comparing yourselves to other people.

These are people that CANNOT and DO NOT feel good about themselves unless someone somewhere is suffering and being punished.

Has anyone else found this to be true in his/her dealings with right wingnuts?

And yet, we're not advocating you people die because you think differently than we do or wanting us jailed for exercising our right to free speech. And for the record, your whole post is about comparing yourself to the right trying to prove your superiority. Such pathetic egos you have!

They are repelled by the idea that 'everyone' should be one and get along.

To me, this is the linchpin of why they never seem to "get it."  If they're so full of care and compassion and want everyone to be one and get along, as they claim, how do they expect people to take them seriously when they say the things they do about those who oppose them politically?

That they say the vile, immature, hatefilled things they do about others automatically tells me they're anything but caring, compassionate, and want everyone to be one and get along.

Oh, they're all hugs and kisses until someone over on skins Island says they're a Blue Dog Democrat.  Then the fangs come out.  Compassion and inclusion, my ass.
