Jon Stewart – Yet Another Liberal/Progressive With a Sad, Tragic Upbringing

Jon Stewart

On CBS’ Sunday Morning (August 9^th, 2015), Mo Rocca asked Jon Stewart (Anthony Wiener’s College roommate) about his Dad (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/jon-stewart-i-despise-interviewing-politicians/).

“When asked what he would be like if he hadn't married Tracey, Stewart replied, "I'd be much unhappier. She has the capacity for real warmth and love. She's able to help me experience that. I'm an individual that's much more removed. Like, I like bartending because it's sort of like being out, but you don't actually have to be out."

"And you're on the other side of the bar?"

"Correct."

"Is being a father what you expected it would be?"

"No. It's much better than what I thought," he laughed, "'cause the experience that I had growing up was very different."

“When Stewart was nine years old, his father, a physicist, left the family. From that point on Stewart saw his father (now deceased) only sporadically.

Rocca asked, "What did your father think about what you do for a living? Did heget it? Did he enjoy it? Did he think, 'What a strange choice,' or, 'Wow, that's really cool'?"

"He was not a man prone to taking chances, or smiling, or enjoying food or music or color," Stewart laughed. "Yeah, you know, he wasn't the happiest, you know ... My mom ultimately probably is much more, because she is an educator, she's someone that believes in taking chances, she has an incredible work ethic. She believes that no matter what happens to you, if you work hard enough, if you fight hard enough, you will turn it around. That's where all that comes from.

"She's a spitfire, man. She's 81. She'll knock you out!"

This is such a common theme among avowed Leftists. New York’s current Mayor, Bill DeBlasio’s father committed suicide when DeBlasio was a child (“De Blasio stated that when he was 7 years old, his father left home; his parents divorced shortly after that. In a 2012 interview, de Blasio described his upbringing: "[My dad] was an officer in the Pacific in the army, [and fought] in an extraordinary number of very, very difficult, horrible battles, including Okinawa.... And I think honestly, as we now know about veterans who return, [he] was going through physically and mentally a lot.... He was an alcoholic, and my mother and father broke up very early on in the time I came along, and I was brought up by my mother's family — that's the bottom line — the de Blasio family." In September 2013, de Blasio revealed that his father had committed suicide in 1979 while suffering from incurable lung cancer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_de_Blasio), Barack Obama was abandoned by his father and all of the subsequent male figures in his life (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-512970/Barack-Obama-How-I-haunted-father.html), George Soros was helped through the Holocaust by an uncle who was a Capo (a German collaborator) who helped loot the possessions of Jews marked for death (http://itmakessenseblog.com/2011/01/28/george-soros-says-he-feels-no-remorse-for-collaborating-with-nazis-during-wwii-to-send-his-fellow-jews-to-the-death-camps-steal-their-property/ and http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/2010/11/jewish-people-vs-george-soros.html).

This kind of early childhood trauma is so virtually universal among Leftists that it’s impossible to overstate the very real probability that Leftism is some kind of emotional or psychological disorder.
