An excellent question

Via Kim du Toit.

Why is it that people leave a state because the state government has screwed up their lives, and then go on to replicate the situation in their adoptive state? I swear, one new law I’d support would be that people moving to a different state should not be allowed to vote on local matters until they’ve lived there for five years.


Part of the answer is simple, and part of the answer I can't answer at all. The part that I can answer? Well, it's like this:

Part of the reason liberalism is a mental disorder is because it's adherents cannot seem to see the damage that they do. It's like the communist who insists that the reason communism hasn't succeeded is because it hasn't been tried by the right people. Let's look at who is leaving where: It's people leaving large urban areas, and I'd bet my eyeteeth that a majority of those people are liberals. When I was in high school, one of the biggest insults you could call someone was "Californian", because of the huge influx of people from that state that were moving to Idaho. In fact, being a Californian is still looked down upon in Coeur d'Alene. Why? Because the people were leaving California for whatever reasons, and then tried to turn Northern Idaho into California, at least with the laws they want to enact. Which caused quite a bit of anger from the locals, and the question of the day was "If you don't like it here, why the hell did you come here?"

So I can easily see why Kim is asking his question. And part of the answer is due to the fact that Liberals refuse to see the negative results of their actions. Acknowledging that their actions even could have negative results would mean that they would have to re-think their actions, and a Liberal will never, ever, EVER do that. The very possibility that they might be wrong will never cross a liberal's mind. And thus, when a Liberal leaves his former residence and attempts to recreate the same conditions in his new residence, it's because a Liberal will not acknowledge that it was the conditions they imposed in their former residence that made them leave it in the first place. It wasn't their taxes that drove businesses out. It wasn't their laws that allowed criminals to roam free. It wasn't their policies that ruined the quality of life in the city. oh no, since they're Liberals, it could NEVER be their ideology that made their former residence unlivable. They will always attribute it to something else. The people who lived there. The place. But their ideology must never be questioned. It just hasn't been tried properly, you see.

And so a Liberal will leave their hellhole, and then try to recreate the very same policies that made their former home a hellhole in their new homes, because to a Liberal, it's not his policies that are at fault. It could never be his ideology.

Trust me, when a Liberal starts thinking, (which few of them do in any case) and realizing that maybe, just MAYBE the policies that they push might cause more harm than good, that's when they stop being liberals.

That's the part I can answer.
