Cool?

Why do liberals react to conservatives the way they do? You would think that, as confident as they seem to be of their beliefs, they would be open to hearing other ideas that may not be completely in line with their own. But most are not…I mean, seriously not. Like running and screaming with their eyes and ears covered not.

I could be wrong – but I think it comes down to this:

Liberals view conservatives and everything associated with them as not cool. And they want to be cool. And they are deathly afraid of anything that may convince them to change their mind and become un-cool.

Actors are cool. Accountants? Not so much.

But cool isn’t necessarily accountable. Cool isn’t necessarily responsible. Cool doesn’t necessarily make the hard decisions when failure could lead to financial disaster.

I think it would be cool to face the truth and make the hard decisions that need to be made – before we have to.

Maybe it’s time for liberals to check their courage meter.
