December 1, 2010  We know. We know. You do not want to own your own responsibility in the ruination of Ecuador. We know. You are still very happy to play the childish victimization game that everyone is against you and made you do these things because you neither cared to do anything useful anyway and/or your own ethics are so self centered that morals are meaningless to begin with. Ah, Ecuador….you sink in to the hell hole you have made with your own machine of manipulations.

Now Rafael Correa wants to pretend that his own team was not correct to invite Julian Assange to Ecuador. Of course Correa would welcome Assange as he welcomes all global vermin. Only with the InterPol pick up order on the dishonest and very corrupt  Assange did Correa figure that would be a bit too much heat in his entirely corrupt regime. So like all girlie girls, he revoked his invitation.

Weak persons find excuses not to stand up for values. Weak persons pretend that they have reasons and justifications to run away from telling the truth. Did someone- anyone? Inside Ecuador even once denounce Correa’s welcoming oeuvres to Assange? No indeed not.

As for Rafael Correa, he needs to go away and live in Cuba for all we care. But the stubborn problem inside Ecuador is not the dishonest, incompetent U.S. diplomats who have been building a Cuban communist cartel inside Ecuador for years. The woefully awful North American pro-Cuban contractors in Ecuador since 1996 are not the sole problem. Indeed, Ecuador could have kicked these lying, useless agents of destruction out of Ecuador long ago. But the narrative is too convenient for establishing Ecuador as a nation of fraudsters and extortion racket mavens, which is what they are because manipulation is what they do best.

Although this article is about woefully dishonest North American Democrats, it is more accurate as portrayal of te values instilled in every Ecuadorean today by their schools, their fake religiosity and their criminal government and worse….taught by their own mothers. Dishonesty always leads to more dishonesty. Manipulative behaviors always lead to victimization, endless excuses to never perform ethically, and more mania…la nerviosa and mind boggling gamesmanship.

The Care and Feeding of Progressives
By Robin of Berkeley

I've had to ask readers of my blog to register in order to post comments.  There are three reasons why:

Trolls
Trolls
Trolls
(By the way, I often tell clients that there are three rules for dealing with the character disordered:  "Boundaries, Boundaries, and Boundaries." Not surprisingly, the same can be said about extreme progressives.)

When I started my little blog, it didn't occur to me that trolls would come out in droves.  Why would leftists expend their energies on me? And why would they subject themselves to scrutiny by a licensed psychotherapist?

But apparently, numerous trolls have been drawn to me, like venomous bees to honey. These trolls use the same weaponry of other extreme progressives: shame and degradation. They try to use ridicule as sort of stun gun, immobilizing the other. (Another interesting tidbit: People with character disorders do the very same thing. Coincidence?)

As a psychotherapist, I can see right through them to who they are and how they operate. Nonetheless, I still remain curious about these creepy crawlers, whom I have dubbed "My Friends, the Enemy." (This is my generally futile attempt to be magnanimous like the Dalai Lama, who uses the phrase to describe the Chinese.)  

I wonder to myself: Where do these trolls come from? Where do they live and breed? 

Do they write in dank basement rooms while their bedraggled girlfriends (or moms) pick up their dirty shorts? Do they intermix trolling with downloading internet porn?  (I'm not being snarky here; I'd bet good money that violent smut gives them endless inspiration.)

Are these cyber-stalkers getting paid from a Soros organization? If so, why can't they find more respectable employment? (Hmm...I suppose the answer to that question is rather obvious.)

The creepy thing is that in the minds of trolls, and other extreme Progressives, their behavior is as normal as apple pie. This is because their worldview is amoral and asocial. Therefore, the merit of hurling insults at a complete stranger is a no-brainer. 

Many leftists are positively clueless about how to conduct themselves in a civilized manner.  Believe me, I have tried over and over to engage some -- any -- in a respectful discussion.   

Although I rarely give up on people, I have had to conclude that many extreme progressives are not simply choosing to be vicious. They do not know how to restrain themselves.

For instance, a progressive e-mailed me with the following, "Man, you're really messed up." I replied, scolding her, explaining that her remark was inappropriate. 

She responded this way, sounding genuinely confused and shocked: "I was trying to be sympathetic! I really didn't mean to hurt your feelings." And in this case, I actually believed her!

The most hardcore of the leftists seem almost feral, wild, and undomesticated. Many lack even the most rudimentary of social skills; some people may very well be diagnosable on the autism spectrum. 

Many militants are devoid of an essential ingredient of being human: empathy. While they exude endless compassion for an endangered snail, they are contemptuous of living, feeling human beings. This is why they can cavalierly imagine snuffing out Granny, a late-term fetus, or, in fact, anyone who gets in their way.

With the progressives in charge, we now live in "interesting times," to quote the Chinese curse. There's a breakdown in the basic rule of law that keeps a society knitted together. Without the moral fiber to stitch us, it's survival of the fittest -- every man and woman for themselves.

It's no coincidence that God has also been shunned, because God is the thread that weaves together the rich tapestry of life. With Judeo-Christian values missing in action, the left engages in a manic free-fall-all. They afford themselves free rein to act out their basest of impulses.

The more extreme progressives have no impulse control whatsoever. They act more primitively than a wild beast as they beat up opponents and sexually degrade conservative women.

These progressives are engineering a New World Order, which is dark and devolved and completely unlivable. Their actions remind me of a famous quote by Gandhi about Western civilization.   

When asked what he thought about Western civilization, Gandhi replied, "Western civilization? I think it would be a good idea." One could say the same thing about progressives' civilized behavior. 

I hope the newly elected conservatives will have the courage and intestinal fortitude to create some order out of the chaos. If they can break up this manic (Democratic) party, there's hope for this country yet.
