My smash best-seller "Demonic: How the Liberal Mob
Is Endangering America" has just come out in paperback -- and not a moment
too soon! Democrats always become especially mob-like during presidential
election campaigns.
The "root cause" of the Democrats' wild
allegations against Republicans, their fear of change, their slogans and insane
metaphors, are all explained by mass psychology, diagnosed more than a century
ago by the French psychologist Gustave Le Bon, on whose work much of my own
book is based.
Le Bon's 1896 book, "The Crowd: A Study of the
Popular Mind," was carefully read by Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini in
order to learn how to incite mobs. Our liberals could have been Le Bon's study
subjects.
With the country
drowning in debt and Medicare and Social Security on high-speed bullet trains
to bankruptcy, the entire Democratic Party refuses to acknowledge mathematical
facts. Instead, they incite the Democratic mob to hate Republicans by accusing
them of wanting to kill old people.
According to a 2009 report -- before Obama added another
$5 trillion to the national debt -- Obama's own treasury secretary, Tim Geithner,
stated that in less than 10 years, spending on major entitlement programs, plus
interest payments on the national debt, would consume 92 cents of every dollar
in federal revenue.
That means no money for an army, a navy, rockets,
national parks, food inspectors, air traffic controllers, highways, and so on.
Basically, the entire federal budget will be required just to pay for Medicare,
Medicaid and Social Security -- and the cost of borrowing money to pay for
these programs.
When Social Security was enacted in 1935, the average
lifespan was 61.7 years. Today, it's almost 79 and rising. But liberals believe
the age at which people can begin collecting Social Security must never, ever
be changed, even to save Social Security itself.
Mobs, according to Le Bon, have a "fetish-like
respect" for tradition, except moral traditions because crowds are too
impulsive to be moral. That's why liberals say our Constitution is a
"living, breathing" document that sprouts rights to gay marriage and
abortion, but the age at which Social Security and Medicare benefits kick in is
written in stone.
Le Bon says that it is lucky "for the progress of
civilization that the power of crowds only began to exist when the great
discoveries of science and industry had already been effected." If
"democracies possessed the power they wield today at the time of the
invention of mechanical looms or of the introduction of steam-power and of
railways, the realization of these inventions would have been impossible."
Liberals exhibit this exact group-think fear of science
not only toward light bulbs and nuclear power, but also toward medical
inventions. Thus, when a majority of the country objected to Obamacare on the
grounds that -- among many other reasons -- a government takeover of health
care would destroy medical innovation, liberals stared in blank
incomprehension.
They believe every drug, every diagnosis, every therapy,
every cure that will ever be invented, has already been invented. Their job is
to spread all the existing cures, while demonizing and stymieing pharmaceutical
companies that make money by inventing new drugs.
Democrats haven't the slightest concern about who will
formulate new remedies because they are enraged at profit-making and suspicious
of scientific advancement.
Apart from cures that will never be invented, liberal
elites will be mostly untouched by the rotten medical care to which they are
consigning the rest of us. Note how Democrats' friends, such as government
unions, immediately received waivers from Obamacare. Rich or connected
liberals, such as George Soros, Warren Buffett, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama,
will always have access to the best doctors, just as Fidel Castro and Hugo
Chavez do.
It is similar to the way that Democrats, who refuse to
pass school choice, always seem to bypass the disastrous public schools for
their own children, who end up at Sidwell Friends or St. Albans.
Democrats don't worry about how bankrupting Social
Security and destroying the job market hurts black people, bitter divorcees and
young people, because they can always demagogue these one-party Democratic
voters simply by repeating that Republicans are racist, hate women and aren't
cool like Obama.
The truth is irrelevant; only slogans and fear-mongering
delight mobs.
The rest of us are forced to live in a lawless universe
of no new pharmaceuticals, foreign doctors, gay marriage, girl soldiers, a
health care system run by the post office, and bankrupt Social Security and
Medicare systems, because liberals can't enjoy their wealth unless other people
are living in squalor.
The country will have the economy of Uganda, but
Democrats will be in total control.
