By Ann Coulter
The demon is a mob, and the mob is demonic. The Democratic social gathering prompts mobs, relies on mobs, coddles mobs, announces and celebrates mobs—it is the mob. Sweeping in its scope and incessant in its argument, Demonic explains the peculiarities of liberals as usual groupthink habit. to appreciate mobs is to appreciate liberals.
In her so much provocative ebook so far, Ann Coulter argues that liberals express the entire mental features of a mob, for instance:
Liberal Groupthink: “The comparable mob mentality that leads in a different way law-abiding humans to hurl rocks at law enforcement officials additionally leads in a different way clever humans to refuse to think something they haven’t heard on NPR.”
Liberal Schemes: “No topic how mad the plan is—Fraternité, the ‘New Soviet Man,’ the grasp Race, the nice step forward, the Cultural Revolution, development a brand new Society, ObamaCare—a mob will think it.”
Liberal Enemies: “Instead of ‘counterrevolutionaries,’ liberals’ competitors are referred to as ‘haters,’ ‘those who search to divide us,’ ‘tea baggers,’ and ‘right-wing hate groups.’ in the meantime, conservatives name liberals ‘liberals’—and that makes them testy.”
Liberal Justice: “In the realm of the liberal, as on the earth of Robespierre, there aren't any crimes, in simple terms criminals.”
Liberal Violence: “If Charles Manson’s fans hadn’t killed Roman Polanski’s spouse, Sharon Tate, Clinton might have pardoned him, too, and he’d most likely be instructing at Northwestern University.”
mentioning the daddy of mob psychology, Gustave Le Bon, Coulter catalogs the Left’s mob behaviors: the production of messiahs, the phobia of clinical innovation, the mythmaking, the choice for pictures over phrases, the shortcoming of morals, and the informal embody of contradictory principles.
Coulter lines the heritage of the liberal mob to the French Revolution and Robespierre’s revolutionaries (delineating a transparent contrast from America’s founding fathers), who easily proclaimed that they have been workout the “general will” sooner than slaughtering their fellow electorate “for the great of mankind.”
equally, as Coulter demonstrates, liberal mobs, from scholar radicals to white-trash racists to anti-war and pro-ObamaCare fans at the present time, have continuously used violence to enforce their concept of the “general will.”
this isn't the yankee culture; it's the culture of Stalin, of Hitler, of the guillotine—and the culture of the yankee Left.
because the heirs of the French Revolution, Democrats have a heritage that contains pandering to mobs, repeatedly, whereas Republicans, heirs to the yank Revolution, have usually stood for peaceful order.
Hoping to muddy this scary fact, liberals slanderously accuse conservatives in their personal crimes—assassination plots, conspiracy theorizing, political violence, include of the Ku Klux Klan. Coulter indicates that as a matter of fact the other: Political violence—mob violence—is consistently a Democratic affair.
Surveying centuries of mob events, Coulter demonstrates that the mob is usually damaging. And but, she argues, starting with the civil rights stream within the sixties, american citizens have misplaced their traditional, inherited aversion to mobs. certainly, so much american citizens don't know what they're even facing.
Only by way of spotting the mobs and their demonic nature can the US start to shield itself.
