					<description><![CDATA[Oddly, I just watched a video that addresses my last question, sort of tangentially, but the strands of the spider web are always connected.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bq3YrYjG-s
Joe Rogan &#038; Jordan Peterson on Equality of Outcome
Jan 30, 2018

Peterson points to some essential observations in Orwell&#039;s &quot;The Road to Wigan Pier,&quot; which is that although the Left bases its (inevitable) tyranny on compassion for the poor, the typical middle class socialist despises poor people.
They are driven more by their hatred for the successful (not just because they are rich, which may be why rich leftists get a &quot;pass&quot; from the vituperation thrown at conservatives).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@ huxley &#062; &quot;This is how Democrats see themselves — good, kind, caring, cool, fun, idealistic and, in their way, patriotic.... The swelling “West Wing” music is perfect for the warm, circle-dancing feeling that keeps Democrats convinced that they are on the Right Side,&quot;

Why don&#039;t Republicans ever make ads like that?

Only without this part -- &quot;and any who oppose them must be senselessly retrograde, hateful and on the Wrong Side.&quot;

Or is it necessarily a package deal?]]></description>

Amazing how the dog keeps barking little commands to guide the human through the routine. She did a great job, the dog must be very proud of her. I bet she got a new dress when they got home.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Cornflour:

Thanks for the link! It&#039;s a brilliant propaganda piece for its time, place and audience. 

Commenters here are often mystified by Democrats. How can they be so foolish, stupid, mean or downright evil? This video is a clue. This is how Democrats see themselves -- good, kind, caring, cool, fun, idealistic and, in their way, patriotic.

The swelling &quot;West Wing&quot; music is perfect for the warm, circle-dancing feeling that keeps Democrats convinced that they are on the Right Side, and any who oppose them must be senselessly retrograde, hateful and on the Wrong Side.

Which of course doesn&#039;t justify Democrats, but it can give one a sense for the emotional underpinnings of how they act.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Huxley et al.:

Here&#039;s a link to the complete video of celebrities pledging to serve the messianic Obama:  https://youtu.be/51kAw4OTlA0

The video was posted by someone named &quot;terriad.&quot; It&#039;s his only upload and has been watched over 827,000 times.  From reading the comments, I think it&#039;s fair to say that &quot;terriad&quot; is not an Obama supporter.

Of course, the existence of this video doesn&#039;t undermine your point that the original version has suspiciously disappeared.  I&#039;m only providing a link to satisfy your perverse taste in political theater.  I just watched it, but not with much pleasure.]]></description>
