The left never look at themselves to see their own motives or understand their own thinking.
On a politics forum elsewhere, they were arguing about conservatives' desperation to impose their will on everyone else. I posted something about "You point at us? Look at yourselves. Here's one example." And told a story I had heard on All Things Considered, in which a medical official in some country in Africa complained she could always tell when she was in an American-hosted medical clinic because the shelves were always fully stocked with boxes and boxes of condoms. "Our children need vitamins, vaccinations, and antibiotics to keep them from dying from diarrhea, and all the Americans want us to have is condoms." I posted other stories as well, but I quote this one because of the replies it got.
Not one person addressed the possibility that this story and the others reflected a truth, that in almost every area the Left want to impose their rules on the rest of us. Instead they jumped right over that concept and into the affirmation that "We're better than you are, and this is why we're right." The reply that stands out to me was, "You don't get it. Condoms are so important, and they don't know any better."
The story of their lives. The Left, that is.
