It's Liberalism 101; Liberals provide themselves with the mentality that they are the defenders of the underdogs, the champions of the oppressed, the saviours of the little people. This mentality distorts their views; In their eyes, everything can & will be made perfect, if they can only bend the "opposition" into submission. Everything is ultimately for a greater good, and since they are (theoretically) doung good, the ends justifies the means; It's almost a religion of sorts: They have no real moral compass by which to live by (The very extreme ones at least) and so they create it for themselves in the form of fighting people opposed to their rash and foolish decisions. They are blinded by their desire to do good, people (Like Hillary and Obama) Take advantage of their blind social justice warring, and use it for their own benefit. Of course, the liberals defend their leaderz the same way anyone in a religion defends their own God.
That's how I see it anyways.
