But how to explain all this intolerance and anger? Why do they accuse others of the very attitudes and behaviors they themselves engage? Hatred? Projection? Can it really be that simple or is it something deeper?

Whatever it may be, Liberals clearly believe they are nothing of the kind. But do they ever actually listen to themselves talk?

Re: Jeffrey Lord's When Will Biden Pony Up?:

Last Friday, after Sen. Biden opined that it's patriotic for the rich to pay more taxes, I "growled" at the Arlington County Taxpayers Association website, citing Judge Learned Hand, reportedly America's most quoted jurist, who said "there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes."

In addition, I noted the opinion of the National Taxpayers Union's Kristina Rasmussen who said, "If your patriotism is measured by how much you pay, I would argue that the wealthy are pretty gosh darn patriotic."

Rather than teach a constitutional law seminar in his evening hours, Sen. Biden should spend some time reading tax law.
