Leftists and Liberals

Normally we think of Leftists and Liberals as synonymic. However, when we speak of politically savvy power-crazed megalomaniacs we usually qualify the statement by saying that we’re only talking about the Democrat Party’s leadership, not the typical Democrat voter. And, when we talk about well-intentioned but politically ignorant or misled, idealistic and immature individuals we qualify our statement by pointing out that those we are speaking of are your typical Democrat voters, not the Democrat Party’s leadership.

Based on these qualifications, I separate the Leftist from the Liberal - those in power and those who empower them. Leftists will say and do anything to satiate their lust for power, and then spit in the faces of those who empowered them. However, they are clever enough to disguise their spit so the people don’t feel it dripping down their cheeks. The Liberals, who are incapable of admitting they made a mistake and so are eternally pointing their fingers at others, are all too willing to accept the excuses of the Leftists. But why would the well-meaning Liberal empower a power-hungry megalomaniac in the first place? To understand that, first look at why the Leftists court the Liberals.

Historically, the tactic of the Left has been to create a doom and gloom scenario, and then convince people that only they can save the world from this evil. Typical examples are nuclear war or nuclear winter, an impending ice age, global warming, encroaching Capitalism and evil corporations, destruction of the rain forests, desertification, and school lunches (if we cut out, or even cut back, on the school lunch program every child in America will starve to death). In order to accomplish this end, the Leftist clearly needs a hate group that they can blame for their evil du jour. Hitler had his Jews, Marx his Bolsheviks, and Hillary Clinton her “vast right ring conspiracy.” (You might ask how I can put Hillary in the same group as Hitler and Marx, but I don’t. She put herself there with her college thesis paper on how to overthrow America by creating a hate group to distract the people from the real enemy – her, or whoever the power-crazed megalomaniac might be.)

Therefore, the Leftist needs politically naïve, historically ignorant, idealistic and easily misled masses in order to fool them into supporting him. This requires first, indoctrination in the educational system – only allowing politically correct information and mis-facts, or state propaganda to be taught. Second: the replacement of the concept of God with that of the State. Third: the legitimization of the confiscation of guns by making guns sound like the cause of all crimes. And of course, the creation of the hate group to distract people from what’s really going on. Does any of this sound familiar?

Now, the Liberal wants everything to be fair, everyone to get along, and everybody to be happy. Their views of the world are invariably self-contradictory because of their naiveté. For example, in order to enforce fairness a huge and all-powerful government would be required. At the same time, the Liberal wants government to be good and solve all their personal problems. But what governments have ever been good, let alone any all-powerful one? Another example is their hatred of the wealthy, and their love for the very people that epitomize the worst characteristics of the wealthy (the Hollywood Left and the Kennedy’s, Kerry’s, etc.). The self-contradictions of the Liberals are endless, and is another subject altogether.

The Leftist appeals to these Liberal desires by promising solutions. A great example is Bill Clinton in 1992 when he promised to have the cleanest administration in history, clean out the lobbyists from government, and tax only the wealthiest 2%. All of these promises appeal to the Liberal’s deep desire for fairness and good government, and their disdain towards the evil Capitalists. As soon as he acquired power however, he spat in the voters faces by appointing the most corrupt administration in our history (almost all his administration appointees either resigned in disgrace, were indicted on criminal charges, or were “accidented” to death, not to mention his own endless misconduct), encouraged ever more lobbyists (ushering in the corporate corruption scandal of 2000), and passing the highest middle class tax increase in our history (blaming Bush 41 for misrepresenting how bad our budget really was). The Liberals ate it all up, making endless excuses, and gleefully wiped the saliva from their faces without even realizing it was there.

So the Leftists continuously appeal to the Liberals “good” streaks with empty promises, and the Liberals keep voting for Leftists, hoping maybe this time they’ll keep their promises. Meanwhile, the contradictions abound, leading to such absurdities as blacks becoming Muslims when it was the Muslims who created black slavery in the first place and continue it to this day; Liberals despising God and religion but promoting Islam in our public schools; Liberals crying for democracy yet impeding every effort to spread democracy around the world; Liberals blocking efforts to pump domestic oil for environmental reasons thus forcing more oil tankers on the oceans (more oil spills) and more environment to be destroyed globally due to far inferior oil drilling practices and technology; Liberals screaming for more to be done against terrorism while hamstringing our intelligence and law enforcement services along with our military. The list goes on. And on. And on…
