Yes, a cruel world existed before me. But, I had nothing to do with it—I rescue puppies. So, how far back shall we go to indict our ancestors under current norms and laws? Just. Let. It. Go.
Liberals are not happy unless they are not happy.
"Liberals are not happy unless they are not happy."
I'm sure you've heard the quip by H.L. Mencken about the Puritans whom he said used to lie awake in bed at night worrying that somewhere else some people were having fun.
I look at today's liberals as people who, like you said, are not happy unless they're miserable.
I remember in particular one regular poster (she was actually allowed to write guest columns) in my local rag who was an arch radical fem-nazi. Her frowning photo accompanying her scribbling suited her writing perfectly.
To her, the U.S. was a hellhole. Every one of her columns or letters to the editor were angry rants against men and life in general in America.
I had a co-worker who went to high school with the woman, and he said she was the same then...a whining, complaining, bitter person mad at the world. Like most liberals.
