On the bias and arrogance of modern liberals

Modern liberals tend to see themselves as a intelligent minority living on the East and West coast surrounded by ignorant fools living between the coasts.

Liberal ignorance stems from their mistaken view of human nature. Liberals think humans are infinitely malleable, they think that nurture not nature makes us what we are. They believe humans are all the same, that differences are a fallacy and a bias, that global love is all we need, that big government should supply everything that human beings require, including values and morality, and liberals think that most traditions are mostly untruths which we have been wrongly indoctrinated into.

Liberals like to build empires which always later become so distant from real people that they break back down into small states, regionalism and patriotism, not globalism. Human traditions more or less affirm this small is beautiful ethos.

The problem with the modern liberal view of human nature is that human nature is not infinitely malleable, human nature is primarily kin-centered, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, monogamous, gender different, and we are only secondarily or lightly world-centered.

Liberals usually promote such things as the legalizing of pot, because they find it creative. But drugs bias the mind, they let you see a slanted view of the truth. Pot and other drugs (including alcohol) are as deceptive in seeing the truth as the deceptive satire liberals use against conservatives.

Liberals arrogantly believe that religion is foolish, when they have no proven scientific truths about how life began, or how the cosmos emerged, or where it is going, any more than religion does.  The only Absolute secularist's allow is their own. Even the Big Bang is being questioned now by scientists specializing in electromagnetism.

It is true that the views of traditionalists are often simple and not always creative, but small government federalism, with many small independent states, kin-centeredness, monogamy, and gender differences relate to real human nature far better than modern liberalism does, and these also tend to be the values promoted by tradition and religion.
