[ Including a sailor's perspective ]

Bobsprit, this group's most noisome leftist, has made it too
abundantly clear by his incessant ranting and raving here that he's
a splendid example of a corpulent leftist type. You will come to
understand what motivates this misguided individual and those
who might agree with him after reading the following astute essay
on modern leftism. Please note the fact that the words 'leftist' and
'liberal' are, for all practical purposes, interchangeable.

The following essay is not your typical, waste-of-space, news
group post of the one or two-line, chat room variety you are
accustomed to seeing posted here taking up little space and worth
even less consideration. On the contrary, this article's nearly three
thousand words will take you several minutes to read but, let us
assure you, your time could hardly be spent more productively even
if you were reading one of the classics of great literature.

And, yes, it does have something to do with sailing and shall be
considered 'on topic' because it often defines and explains
alt.sailing.asa's most fraudulent, self-proclaimed sailor as well as
those few other similar losers who brown nose him.

Those of you possessed of small minds (which is many of you)
need not bother reading any further as we doubt you have the wit or
patience to finish the job so why start something you're incapable
of completing or understanding? You're excused - run along now
and watch your mind-numbing MTV or your Oprah. . .

Now that the imbeciles have been dismissed, we promise those
of you who remain (and are endowed with respectable IQs and a
grown-up's attention span) will surely find the enlightenment well
worth the effort. So, fellow intelligentsia, let's get on with it,

shall

we?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MODERN LEFTISM

Almost everyone will agree that we live in a deeply troubled
society. One of the most widespread manifestations of the
craziness of our world is leftism so a discussion of the psychology
of leftism can serve as an introduction to the discussion of the
problems of modern society in general. [ These problems even
manage to subvert and pervert what is intended to be a forum to
discuss sailing so, as you can see, we need to examine them
closely as they deny us real sailors our news group functioning
as it should.]

But what is leftism? During the first half of the 20th century
leftism could have been practically identified with socialism.
Today the movement is fragmented and it is not clear who can
properly be called a leftist. When we speak of leftists in this
article we have in mind mainly socialists, collectivists,
"politically correct" types, feminists, gay and disability activists,
animal rights activists and the like. But not everyone who is
associated with one of these movements is a leftist. What we
are trying to get at in discussing leftism is not so much a
movement or an ideology as a psychological type, or rather a
collection of related types. Thus, what we mean by "leftism"
will emerge more clearly in the course of our discussion of
leftist psychology

Even so, our conception of leftism will remain a good deal
less clear than we would wish, but there doesn't seem to be
any remedy for this. All we are trying to do is indicate in a rough
and approximate way the two psychological tendencies that we
believe are the main driving force of modern leftism. We, by no
means, claim to be telling the WHOLE truth about leftist
psychology. Also, our discussion is meant to apply to modern
leftism only. We leave open the question of the extent to which
our discussion could be applied to the leftists of the 19th and
early 20th century.

The two psychological tendencies that underlie modern
leftism we call "feelings of inferiority" and "oversocialization."
Feelings of inferiority are characteristic of modern leftism as a
whole, while oversocialization is characteristic only of a certain
segment of modern leftism; but this segment is highly influential.
[ Oversocialization will be discussed at a later time. It applies all
too well to the likes of Senator John Flip-flop Kerry, for example,
senator now and still senator in 2005.]

FEELINGS OF INFERIORITY

By "feelings of inferiority" we mean not only inferiority feelings
in the strictest sense but a whole spectrum of related traits: low
self-esteem, feelings of powerlessness, depressive tendencies,
defeatism, guilt, self-hatred, etc. We argue that modern leftists
tend to have such feelings (possibly more or less repressed) and
that these feelings are decisive in determining the direction of
modern leftism.

When someone interprets as derogatory almost anything
that is said about him (or about groups with whom he identifies)
we conclude that he has inferiority feelings or low self-esteem.

This tendency is pronounced among minority rights advocates,
whether or not they belong to the minority groups whose rights
they defend. They are hypersensitive about the words used to
designate minorities. The terms "negro," "oriental," "handicapped"
or "chick" for an African, an Asian, a disabled person [Of late,
a 'special needs individual.' It seems the erstwhile, politically
correct word 'handicapped' has fallen out of favor with liberals
even if it was originally a darling of their own chosing - a good
example of which we write.] or a woman originally had no
derogatory connotation. "Broad" and "chick" were merely the
feminine equivalents of "guy," "dude" or "fellow."

The negative connotations have been attached to these terms
by the activists themselves. Some animal rights advocates
have gone so far as to reject the word "pet" and insist upon its
replacement by "animal companion." Leftist anthropologists go
to great lengths to avoid saying anything about primitive peoples
that could conceivably be interpreted as negative. They want to
replace the word "primitive" with "nonliterate." [or 'pre-literate'
implying primitives just haven't learned to read and write yet.]
They seem almost paranoid about anything that might suggest
that any primitive culture is inferior to our own. (We do not mean
to imply that primitive cultures ARE inferior to ours. We merely
point out the hypersensitivity of leftist anthropologists.)

Those who are most sensitive about "politically incorrect"
terminology are not the average black ghetto-dweller, Asian
immigrant, abused woman or disabled person, but a minority
of activists, many of whom do not even belong to any
"oppressed" group but come from privileged strata of society.
Political correctness has its stronghold among university
professors, who have secure employment with comfortable
salaries, and the majority of whom are heterosexual, white
males from middle-class families.

Many leftists have an intense identification with the
problems of groups that have an image of being weak (women),
defeated (American Indians), repellent (homosexuals), or
otherwise inferior [self-proclaimed, obese, movie makers].
The leftists themselves feel that these groups are inferior. They
would never admit it to themselves that they have such feelings,
but it is precisely because they do see these groups as inferior
that they identify with their problems. (We do not suggest that
women, Indians, etc., ARE inferior; we are only making a point
about leftist psychology).

Feminists are desperately anxious to prove that women are
as strong and as capable as men. Clearly they are nagged by
a fear that women may NOT be as strong and as capable as
men.

[ Bobsprit is desperately anxious to prove he's a sailor;
clearly, he's nagged by a fear that he is not and never will be
a sailor - or anything else besides an insecure, no-talent,
girly-man for that matter.]

Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being
strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate
Western civilization, they hate [straight] white males, they
hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the
West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives.
They SAY they hate the West because it is warlike,
imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where
these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive
cultures the leftist finds excuses for them or, at best, he
GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist; whereas he
ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and often greatly
exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western
civilization. [ Michael Moore and his 'crock'umentary,
"Fahrenheit 911," are proof of this.] Thus it is clear that these
faults are not the leftist's real motive for hating America and
the West. He hates America and the West because they
are strong and successful.

Words like "self-confidence," "self-reliance," "initiative,"
"enterprise," "optimism," etc. play little role in the liberal and
leftist vocabulary. The leftist is anti-individualistic,
pro-collectivist. He wants society to solve everyone's needs
for them, take care of them. He is not the sort of person who
has an inner sense of confidence in his own ability to solve his
own problems and satisfy his own needs. The leftist is
antagonistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside,
he feels like a loser. [ Witness Bobsprit's never having
single-handed his few poor excuses for a vessel. Instead,
he remains tied up at the dock until he can ship a crew of pale,
flabby and inchoate females whom he can browbeat and blame
when things he does go wrong - like motoring up on the rocks,
running out of fuel for the motor or, worse yet, pork chops for
the Force 10.]

Art forms that appeal to modern leftist intellectuals tend to
focus on sordidness, defeat and despair, or else they take an
orgiastic tone, throwing off rational control as if there were no
hope of accomplishing anything through rational calculation
and all that was left was to immerse oneself in the sensations
of the moment. [ Do we begin to understand Bobsprit's odious
occupation, his vacuous companions, his insincere avocation
his morbid obesity and his unwholesome and paliative presence
here a little better now? Captain (sic) RB - he's that easy to
decipher - pop him outta the liberal mold and hold your nose.]

Modern leftist philosophers tend to dismiss reason, science,
objective reality and to insist that everything is culturally

relative.

It is true that one can ask serious questions about the
foundations of scientific knowledge and about how, if at all, the
concept of objective reality can be defined. But it is obvious that
modern leftist philosophers are not simply cool-headed logicians
systematically analyzing the foundations of knowledge. They
are deeply involved emotionally in their attack on truth and reality.
They attack these concepts because of their own psychological
needs. For one thing, their attack is an outlet for hostility, and,
to the extent that it is successful, it satisfies the drive for power.

More importantly, the leftist hates science and rationality
because these classify certain beliefs as true (i.e. successful,
superior) and other beliefs as false (i.e. failed, inferior). The
leftist's feelings of inferiority run so deep that he cannot tolerate
any classification of some things as successful or superior
[Coronado 27] and other things as failed or inferior [C&C 32].
This also underlies the rejection by many leftists of the concept
of mental illness and of the utility of IQ tests. Leftists are
antagonistic to genetic explanations of human abilities or behavior
because such explanations tend to make some persons appear
superior or inferior to others. Leftists prefer to give society the
credit or blame for an individual's ability or lack of it. Thus if a
person is "inferior" it is not his fault, but society's, because
he has not been brought up properly.

The leftist is not typically the kind of person whose feelings
of inferiority make him a braggart, an egotist, a bully, a
self-promoter, a ruthless competitor. This kind of person has not
wholly lost faith in himself. He has a deficit in his sense of power
and self-worth, but he can still conceive of himself as having the
capacity to be strong, and his efforts to make himself strong
produce his unpleasant behavior. But the leftist is too far gone for
that. His feelings of inferiority are so ingrained that he cannot
conceive of himself as individually strong and valuable. Hence the
collectivism of the leftist. He can feel strong only as a member of
a large organization [dying Democrat Party] or a mass movement
with which he identifies himself [abstruse anti-war pacifists].

[ Thus, Bobsprit's continued self-promotion and bragging as
demonstrated in alt.sailing.asa, which he believes in his twisted
mind to be a large group, brand him as being slightly to the right
of your typical complete leftist as described above. Bobsprit,
however, represents the worst of a bad lot because he's too stupid
and obnoxious to just shut his pie hole and spare himself further
embarrassment. Bobsprit's pathological need to be rejected and
humiliated places him just one small step from having completed
his downhill slide to abject leftism.]

Notice the masochistic tendency of leftist tactics. Leftists
protest by lying down in front of vehicles, they intentionally provoke
police or racists to abuse them, etc. [or discussion groups, in
Bobsprit's case!] These tactics may often be effective, but many
leftists use them not as a means to an end but because they
PREFER masochistic tactics. Self-hatred is a leftist trait.
[ Bobsprit's continued presence here lends credence to this.
Why else does the fat buffoon continue to take beating after
beating?]

Leftists may claim that their activism is motivated by
compassion or by moral principle, and moral principle does play
a role for the leftist of the oversocialized type. But compassion
and moral principle cannot be the main motives for leftist activism.
Hostility is too prominent a component of leftist behavior [as
exemplified by the vocal, "I hate Bush" minority]; so is the drive
for power. Moreover, much leftist behavior is not rationally
calculated to be of benefit to the people whom the leftists claim to
be trying to help. For example, if one believes that affirmative
action is good for black people, does it make sense to demand
affirmative action in hostile or dogmatic terms? Obviously it would
be more productive to take a diplomatic and conciliatory approach
that would make at least verbal and symbolic concessions to white
people who think that affirmative action discriminates against them.

But leftist activists do not take such an approach because it
would not satisfy their emotional needs. Helping black people is
not their real goal [nor is defeating President Bush]. Instead, race
problems [and Bush bashing] serve as an excuse for them to
express their own hostility and frustrated need for power. In doing
so they actually harm black people, [or weaken their own jaundiced
political party in the case of President bashing] because the
activists' hostile attitude toward the white majority tends to

intensify

race hatred [as their irrational hatred of Mr. Bush is proven to
increase support for the President].

[ In much the same manner, we know liberals like Bobsprit have
little or no concern or compassion for the Americans who died in
the first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Nor do leftists
mention the hundreds who died or were injured in the Murah Federal
building bombing and in the many terrorist attacks besides it such
as the USS Cole, Kobal Tower, Mogadishu etc., let alone the final
destruction of the Twin Towers, the ramming of the Pentagon, etc.
with their death tolls in the thousands.]

[ Leftists also continue to ignore the hundreds of thousands of
souls lying in mass graves at the behest of Saddam Hussein and
his henchmen. Instead, throwing the last vestige of reason to the
wind, they label President Bush a murderer and Hussein a victim.
Their irrational behavior is on display for all sane people to view
and is clearly and utterly counterproductive as it brands them as
wanton, self-abasing, traitorous fools allowing them to be more
effectively identified and ostracized. So, we conclude this is but
another way for liberals to indulge their masochism?]

[ When liberals claim they support the troops who fight the war
against terrorists but not the war against terrorists itself, nothing
could be further from the truth. They are confused at best and lying
at worst. You just can't have it both ways! Thinking they can convince
right-thinking people otherwise is insane. But, we all know what
they're really doing besides lying is expressing their hostility

towards

a strong military and a strong country while attempting to delude
others into thinking they respect their country and the warriors who
protect her. How pathetic their frustration and how dastardly their
transparent hatred of the strong and just, all the more so because
they lack what it takes to be other than weak and unjust.]

[ When Michael Moore wannabes like Bobsprit and his ilk make
inane statements such as, "Bush lied, thousands died," they
ignore reality and denigrate the sacrifice of brave soldiers who
volunteer to fight and sometimes die in order to keep the United
States of America free. Liberals besmirch these brave soldiers,
their loved ones and their Commander-in-Chief in a tawdry
proclamation of their deep personal hatred of the United States of
America, her strength, her purpose and her President's steady
hand at the helm sailing her safely past danger after danger all the
while being encumbered by leftists sabotaging the ship. Imagine
how great this country would be if she did not have to carry all
the liberal dead weight.]

[ This is how leftists express their fear of feeling powerless.
Because liberals are afraid, they defame and abuse the very
system under which they live - a system that allows even such
weaklings as they to live and prosper, thus they imbue themselves
with temporary delusional feelings of being in control. The fact is,
they can't even control their own bowels and their reek is easily
identifiable.]

[ Liberals like Bobsprit stand FOR nothing. They're AGAINST
everything good, strong and rational. This is the reason for their
irrational hatred of President George W. Bush who is a good,
honest, strong, and faithful leader. No leftist he! This is also why
liberals hate corporations, this is why they hate the military, this
is why they hate productivity and the private sector. This is why
they hate the rich. It all scares them half to death. It all makes
them feel powerless. It steps right up, slaps them in their vacant
faces and makes them realize they are losers. Their reaction?
It's not to change or improve themselves but to hate their betters.]

[ We can conclude they might feel better for a time if only
everybody else shared their base position and their fears. So,
they cultivate that goal because misery loves company. If
somehow they could suddenly have everything their way they
still would not be happy and, in short order, they would develop
another list of grievances and reasons to hate that must again
be addressed to suit them. Their depravity knows no end. These
people represent an evolutionary dead-end as their greatest
efforts are steeped in fear and directed towards self-immolation.]

The essay above, aside from comments in [square brackets]
which are mine, is used without permission and is the work of
Ted Kazinski in the introduction to his important work, "Industrial
Society And Its Future," aka. "The Unabomber's Manifesto."
My thanks to Mr. Kazinski for his great insight into leftist
psychology as it applies directly and especially to functionally
illiterate alt.sailing.asa subscribers like Bobsprit and his crass
cadre of leftist comrades many of whom live 'across the pond,'
'down under' or on the 'left coast.'

My thanks also to those of you capable of and willing to take
the time to read and understand this insightful and important work.
I trust you found the time you spent reading it as rewarding as the
time I spent writing and presenting it. I encourage you to copy and
e-mail it to those who wish to better understand what defines and
motivates a liberal and how sick and sad all liberals, including the
aforementioned, pernicious, alt.sailing.asa 'failure sailors,' really
are.

Perhaps you would be kind enough to join me in praying for
these lost souls. I fear there is otherwise not a shred of hope left
for them . . .

And, may God bless America!

strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate
Western civilization, they hate [straight] white males, they
hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the
West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives.
They SAY they hate the West because it is warlike,
imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where
these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive
cultures the leftist finds excuses for them or, at best, he
GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist; whereas he
ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and often greatly
exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western
civilization. [ Michael Moore and his 'crock'umentary,
"Fahrenheit 911," are proof of this.] Thus it is clear that these
faults are not the leftist's real motive for hating America and
the West. He hates America and the West because they
are strong and successful.

Words like "self-confidence," "self-reliance," "initiative,"
"enterprise," "optimism," etc. play little role in the liberal and
leftist vocabulary. The leftist is anti-individualistic,
pro-collectivist. He wants society to solve everyone's needs
for them, take care of them. He is not the sort of person who
has an inner sense of confidence in his own ability to solve his
own problems and satisfy his own needs. The leftist is
antagonistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside,
he feels like a loser. [ Witness Bobsprit's never having
single-handed his few poor excuses for a vessel. Instead,
he remains tied up at the dock until he can ship a crew of pale,
flabby and inchoate females whom he can browbeat and blame
when things he does go wrong - like motoring up on the rocks,
running out of fuel for the motor or, worse yet, pork chops for
the Force 10.]

Art forms that appeal to modern leftist intellectuals tend to
focus on sordidness, defeat and despair, or else they take an
orgiastic tone, throwing off rational control as if there were no
hope of accomplishing anything through rational calculation
and all that was left was to immerse oneself in the sensations
of the moment. [ Do we begin to understand Bobsprit's odious
occupation, his vacuous companions, his insincere avocation
his morbid obesity and his unwholesome and paliative presence
here a little better now? Captain (sic) RB - he's that easy to
decipher - pop him outta the liberal mold and hold your nose.]

Modern leftist philosophers tend to dismiss reason, science,
objective reality and to insist that everything is culturally

relative.

It is true that one can ask serious questions about the
foundations of scientific knowledge and about how, if at all, the
concept of objective reality can be defined. But it is obvious that
modern leftist philosophers are not simply cool-headed logicians
systematically analyzing the foundations of knowledge. They
are deeply involved emotionally in their attack on truth and reality.
They attack these concepts because of their own psychological
needs. For one thing, their attack is an outlet for hostility, and,
to the extent that it is successful, it satisfies the drive for power.

More importantly, the leftist hates science and rationality
because these classify certain beliefs as true (i.e. successful,
superior) and other beliefs as false (i.e. failed, inferior). The
leftist's feelings of inferiority run so deep that he cannot tolerate
any classification of some things as successful or superior
[Coronado 27] and other things as failed or inferior [C&C 32].
This also underlies the rejection by many leftists of the concept
of mental illness and of the utility of IQ tests. Leftists are
antagonistic to genetic explanations of human abilities or behavior
because such explanations tend to make some persons appear
superior or inferior to others. Leftists prefer to give society the
credit or blame for an individual's ability or lack of it. Thus if a
person is "inferior" it is not his fault, but society's, because
he has not been brought up properly.

The leftist is not typically the kind of person whose feelings
of inferiority make him a braggart, an egotist, a bully, a
self-promoter, a ruthless competitor. This kind of person has not
wholly lost faith in himself. He has a deficit in his sense of power
and self-worth, but he can still conceive of himself as having the
capacity to be strong, and his efforts to make himself strong
produce his unpleasant behavior. But the leftist is too far gone for
that. His feelings of inferiority are so ingrained that he cannot
conceive of himself as individually strong and valuable. Hence the
collectivism of the leftist. He can feel strong only as a member of
a large organization [dying Democrat Party] or a mass movement
with which he identifies himself [abstruse anti-war pacifists].

[ Thus, Bobsprit's continued self-promotion and bragging as
demonstrated in alt.sailing.asa, which he believes in his twisted
mind to be a large group, brand him as being slightly to the right
of your typical complete leftist as described above. Bobsprit,
however, represents the worst of a bad lot because he's too stupid
and obnoxious to just shut his pie hole and spare himself further
embarrassment. Bobsprit's pathological need to be rejected and
humiliated places him just one small step from having completed
his downhill slide to abject leftism.]

Notice the masochistic tendency of leftist tactics. Leftists
protest by lying down in front of vehicles, they intentionally provoke
police or racists to abuse them, etc. [or discussion groups, in
Bobsprit's case!] These tactics may often be effective, but many
leftists use them not as a means to an end but because they
PREFER masochistic tactics. Self-hatred is a leftist trait.
[ Bobsprit's continued presence here lends credence to this.
Why else does the fat buffoon continue to take beating after
beating?]

Leftists may claim that their activism is motivated by
compassion or by moral principle, and moral principle does play
a role for the leftist of the oversocialized type. But compassion
and moral principle cannot be the main motives for leftist activism.
Hostility is too prominent a component of leftist behavior [as
exemplified by the vocal, "I hate Bush" minority]; so is the drive
for power. Moreover, much leftist behavior is not rationally
calculated to be of benefit to the people whom the leftists claim to
be trying to help. For example, if one believes that affirmative
action is good for black people, does it make sense to demand
affirmative action in hostile or dogmatic terms? Obviously it would
be more productive to take a diplomatic and conciliatory approach
that would make at least verbal and symbolic concessions to white
people who think that affirmative action discriminates against them.

But leftist activists do not take such an approach because it
would not satisfy their emotional needs. Helping black people is
not their real goal [nor is defeating President Bush]. Instead, race
problems [and Bush bashing] serve as an excuse for them to
express their own hostility and frustrated need for power. In doing
so they actually harm black people, [or weaken their own jaundiced
political party in the case of President bashing] because the
activists' hostile attitude toward the white majority tends to

intensify

race hatred [as their irrational hatred of Mr. Bush is proven to
increase support for the President].

[ In much the same manner, we know liberals like Bobsprit have
little or no concern or compassion for the Americans who died in
the first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Nor do leftists
mention the hundreds who died or were injured in the Murah Federal
building bombing and in the many terrorist attacks besides it such
as the USS Cole, Kobal Tower, Mogadishu etc., let alone the final
destruction of the Twin Towers, the ramming of the Pentagon, etc.
with their death tolls in the thousands.]

[ Leftists also continue to ignore the hundreds of thousands of
souls lying in mass graves at the behest of Saddam Hussein and
his henchmen. Instead, throwing the last vestige of reason to the
wind, they label President Bush a murderer and Hussein a victim.
Their irrational behavior is on display for all sane people to view
and is clearly and utterly counterproductive as it brands them as
wanton, self-abasing, traitorous fools allowing them to be more
effectively identified and ostracized. So, we conclude this is but
another way for liberals to indulge their masochism?]

[ When liberals claim they support the troops who fight the war
against terrorists but not the war against terrorists itself, nothing
could be further from the truth. They are confused at best and lying
at worst. You just can't have it both ways! Thinking they can convince
right-thinking people otherwise is insane. But, we all know what
they're really doing besides lying is expressing their hostility

towards

a strong military and a strong country while attempting to delude
others into thinking they respect their country and the warriors who
protect her. How pathetic their frustration and how dastardly their
transparent hatred of the strong and just, all the more so because
they lack what it takes to be other than weak and unjust.]

[ When Michael Moore wannabes like Bobsprit and his ilk make
inane statements such as, "Bush lied, thousands died," they
ignore reality and denigrate the sacrifice of brave soldiers who
volunteer to fight and sometimes die in order to keep the United
States of America free. Liberals besmirch these brave soldiers,
their loved ones and their Commander-in-Chief in a tawdry
proclamation of their deep personal hatred of the United States of
America, her strength, her purpose and her President's steady
hand at the helm sailing her safely past danger after danger all the
while being encumbered by leftists sabotaging the ship. Imagine
how great this country would be if she did not have to carry all
the liberal dead weight.]

[ This is how leftists express their fear of feeling powerless.
Because liberals are afraid, they defame and abuse the very
system under which they live - a system that allows even such
weaklings as they to live and prosper, thus they imbue themselves
with temporary delusional feelings of being in control. The fact is,
they can't even control their own bowels and their reek is easily
identifiable.]

[ Liberals like Bobsprit stand FOR nothing. They're AGAINST
everything good, strong and rational. This is the reason for their
irrational hatred of President George W. Bush who is a good,
honest, strong, and faithful leader. No leftist he! This is also why
liberals hate corporations, this is why they hate the military, this
is why they hate productivity and the private sector. This is why
they hate the rich. It all scares them half to death. It all makes
them feel powerless. It steps right up, slaps them in their vacant
faces and makes them realize they are losers. Their reaction?
It's not to change or improve themselves but to hate their betters.]

[ We can conclude they might feel better for a time if only
everybody else shared their base position and their fears. So,
they cultivate that goal because misery loves company. If
somehow they could suddenly have everything their way they
still would not be happy and, in short order, they would develop
another list of grievances and reasons to hate that must again
be addressed to suit them. Their depravity knows no end. These
people represent an evolutionary dead-end as their greatest
efforts are steeped in fear and directed towards self-immolation.]

The essay above, aside from comments in [square brackets]
which are mine, is used without permission and is the work of
Ted Kazinski in the introduction to his important work, "Industrial
Society And Its Future," aka. "The Unabomber's Manifesto."
My thanks to Mr. Kazinski for his great insight into leftist
psychology as it applies directly and especially to functionally
illiterate alt.sailing.asa subscribers like Bobsprit and his crass
cadre of leftist comrades many of whom live 'across the pond,'
'down under' or on the 'left coast.'

My thanks also to those of you capable of and willing to take
the time to read and understand this insightful and important work.
I trust you found the time you spent reading it as rewarding as the
time I spent writing and presenting it. I encourage you to copy and
e-mail it to those who wish to better understand what defines and
motivates a liberal and how sick and sad all liberals, including the
aforementioned, pernicious, alt.sailing.asa 'failure sailors,' really
are.

Perhaps you would be kind enough to join me in praying for
these lost souls. I fear there is otherwise not a shred of hope left
for them . . .

And, may God bless America!


Respectfully,
Capt. Neal®
