Are Liberals Evil Or Stupid? | Right Wing News

Are Liberals Evil Or Stupid? | Right Wing News

Written By : John Hawkins

Forgive them for they know not what they do. — Luke 23:34

Over at The Telegraph, James Dellinpole asks, “Are lefties incredibly stupid or just plain evil?” The column was spurred by comments made by Charles Krauthammer who once famously intoned,

To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil.

This is generally true, although the “evil” theory is making a comeback on the Right as more people have become familiar with Saul Alinsky and the Cloward–Piven strategy (Yes, Alinsky, Cloward, & Piven are evil people). Combine that with the complete acceptabilty of lying for political ends on the left, liberalism’s growing hostility to Christianity and country, and their willing embrace of almost anything that weakens the country or undermines morality, and it’s easy to embrace the idea that liberals are evil.

It’s not true, though.

…..Not that there aren’t “evil” liberals. There are plenty of them. Being a shameless liar who believes in nothing other than getting reelected may not make you a very good person, but it’s a huge strength in politics. We’ve created a system that rewards lying, lack of conscience, and acting like a sociopath; so there are a lot of people like that in Congress (They’re on both sides of the aisle). In fact, other than our prison system, Congress has the largest collection of con-men and swindlers you’ll find anywhere in our country.

Setting those people aside and getting down to the run-of-the-mill liberal in politics that you run into — are they evil people? Although I think you could make a fair case that liberalism is an evil philosophy, for the most part, I’d say its adherents aren’t evil.

Liberals are utterly indifferent to whether the policies they advocate work or not. It’s not about actually improving people’s lives for liberals; it’s about feeling good about yourself. If a policy makes a liberal feel morally superior, whether it actually does more harm than good is completely irrelevant.

Combine that with the liberal love of groupthink (The only real crime is being insufficiently liberal), the smug sense of superiority liberalism encourages that has no relation to actions or results beyond being liberal, the-ends-justifies-the-means mentality that liberalism pushes, and liberalism becomes an all-encompassing, insular philosophy.

Do liberals often do a great deal of evil? Yes. Do they mean to do it? No. They’ve been told they’re the good guys, they FEEL LIKE they’re good guys, and they’re been taught not to critically examine any evidence to the contrary because it comes from a polluted source (a non-liberal).

In a sense, they’re like people who are pouring rat poison into the punch bowl at a party while they think it’s sugar. They feel so pleased with themselves because they’re doing a good thing — and the people who’re trying to stop them? At best they don’t know any better, but more likely they’re just evil people who want everyone to have a terrible time — because of THE EVIL. It’s impossible to explain the situation to them because they start with the assumption that if you don’t want to pour the rat poison into the Kool-Aid, you must be evil, and therefore can’t be trusted. So, they live their lives inside of a feedback loop that’s nearly impossible to penetrate.

So, are liberals evil? No, they’re stupid or perhaps more accurately, close-minded, emotion-driven people with no common sense and a wholly unjustified superiority complex.

Useful Idiots at it again...

» Clueless Socialists Protest MacIver Institute - Big Government

Well, it took them a year, but the perpetually offended crowd of ardent public sector union supporters, wayward students and other socialists finally discovered that the MacIver Institute offices are right across from the Wisconsin State Capitol.

As soon as we heard a trombone playing outside our window we knew something was up. Drums are a matter of course. So are plastic vuvuzelas. But a brass section? Whoa, this was different. This was big.

Eh. Not so much.

This motley crew didn’t know diddly about the MacIver Institute, and were completely clueless about ALEC. But they absolutely knew we were both bad ‘for the people’ because someone told them so.

And they sure knew they don’t like the free market economy. You know, the same economy that affords them to spend yet another afternoon aimlessly wandering the streets of Madison protesting… just about everything.

Homeland Security Warned of Tea Party Extremism But DHS Report Called #Occupiers Peaceful Activists | The Gateway Pundit

Homeland Security Warned of Tea Party Extremism But DHS Report Called #Occupiers Peaceful Activists | The Gateway Pundit

It’s an Obama world.

(Bay Citizen)

The #Occupy radicals have put together quite a record of accomplishment since September:

- 9 deaths, 5 found dead in tents, One found dead after 2 days
- 2 murders (Not counting the protester who strangled his parents and stuffed them in a car)
- Tens of millions of dollars in damages, layoffs, vandalism, law breaking
- Multiple Rapes
- Thousands of arrests
- Public masturbation
- Feces
- Child molestation and baby abuse

But forget the facts – Homeland Security saw the #occupy protests as a peaceful movement.

In 2009 Homeland Security released a report suggesting the tea party was a sign of right-wing extremism.
The Huffington Post reported:

A new report issued by the Department of Homeland Security that says right-wing extremism is on the rise throughout the country.

In the report (a full copy of which is below), officials warn that right-wing extremists could use the bad state of the U.S. economy and the election of the country’s first black president to recruit new members to their cause.

In the intelligence assessment issued to law enforcement last week, Homeland Security officials said there was no specific information about an attack from right-wing extremists in the works.

Fast forward to 2011…
The Department of Homeland Security published a report on the #Occupy criminal movement but described the hooligans as a “peaceful” movement. The report was leaked in a recent Wikileaks document dump.

As Occupy Wall Street spread across the nation last fall, sparking protests in more than 70 cities, the Department of Homeland Security began keeping tabs on the movement. An internal DHS report entitled “SPECIAL COVERAGE: Occupy Wall Street,” dated October of last year, opens with the observation that “mass gatherings associated with public protest movements can have disruptive effects on transportation, commercial, and government services, especially when staged in major metropolitan areas.” While acknowledging the overwhelmingly peaceful nature of OWS, the report notes darkly that “large scale demonstrations also carry the potential for violence, presenting a significant challenge for law enforcement.”

The five-page report – contained in 5 million newly leaked documents examined by Rolling Stone in an investigative partnership with WikiLeaks – goes on to sum up the history of Occupy Wall Street and assess its “impact” on everything from financial services to government facilities. Many of the observations are benign, and appear to have been culled from publicly available sources. The report notes, for instance, that in Chicago “five women were arrested after dumping garbage taken from a foreclosed home owned by Bank of America in the lobby one of the bank’s branches,” and that “OWS in New York staged a ‘Millionaires March,’ from Zucotti Park to demonstrate outside the homes of some of the city’s richest residents.”

But the DHS also appears to have scoured OWS-related Twitter feeds for much of their information.

Obama Hits the Gas – Prices Double in Just Three Years Due to His Failed & Insane Policies | The Gateway Pundit

Obama Hits the Gas – Prices Double in Just Three Years Due to His Failed & Insane Policies | The Gateway Pundit

Obama Hits the Gas–

Quick Facts on President Obama’s Acceleration of Gas Prices via the Republican Study Committee:

** Oil production on federal land fell 11% last year. During the exact same time frame, oil production on private and state-owned land – land beyond the federal government’s grip – grew 14%.
** Shortly after Steven Chu professed a desire for European-level gas prices, President Obama named him Secretary of Energy. Italians currently pay about $9.00 per gallon.
** The Obama administration imposed a moratorium on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico followed by a “permitorium” with very few permits issued for new drilling. Data from the Energy Information Agency show production in the Gulf of Mexico dropping by 120 million barrels annually from 2009 to 2012.
** The Keystone XL pipeline could bring our economy thousands of new jobs and transport 830,000 barrels a day to American refineries. President Obama rejected it.
** Drilling plans have historically been approved 73% of the time. For the start of 2012, President Obama has only approved 23%.

And here’s the insane part…
The Obama DOE is not even working to lower prices… And they have no shame in admitting it.
The Politico reported:

The Energy Department isn’t working to lower gasoline prices directly, Secretary Steven Chu said Tuesday after a Republican lawmaker scolded him for his now-infamous 2008 comment that gas prices in the U.S. should be as high as in Europe.

Instead, DOE is working to promote alternatives such as biofuels and electric vehicles, Chu told House appropriators during a hearing on DOE’s budget.

But Americans need relief now, Rep. Alan Nunnelee (R-Miss.) said — not high gasoline prices that could eventually push them to alternatives.

“I can’t look at motivations. I have to look at results. And under this administration the price of gasoline has doubled,” Nunnelee told Chu.

“The people of north Mississippi can’t be here, so I have to be here and be their voice for them,” Nunnelee added. “I have to tell you that $8 a gallon gasoline makes them afraid. It’s a cruel tax on the people of north Mississippi as they try to go back and forth to work. It’s a cloud hanging over economic development and job creation.”

Chu expressed sympathy but said his department is working to lower energy prices in the long term.

A Guide to the Liberal Mind

By Victor Volsky

As a great fan of Jeff Foxworthy, it occurred to me that it might be a good idea to use his hilarious you-might-be-a-redneck comedy routine in an attempt to characterize the liberal mindset (tweaking Jeff's formula a bit to convert it from the suppositional to the unconditional). So, with apologies to the wonderful country comedian, here are some of the notable features of the liberal's mental landscape:

• If you believe that freedom of expression is sacrosanct but would like nothing better than to deny it to anyone who doesn't share your views, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that the 1^st Amendment separates church from state, but not state from church, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that the 2^nd Amendment was the founding fathers' big mistake and that the 10^th Amendment shouldn't be taken seriously, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that endlessly discussing a problem amounts to actually solving it, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that the results of progressive programs are irrelevant and that only good intentions count, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that Mark Foley, who wrote salacious e-mails to a young but legally adult congressional page, was an evil libertine, while Gerry Studds, who had sex with an underage congressional page, was a knight in shining armor, you are a liberal intellectual.
• If you believe that Obama is an intellectual giant whose IQ is off the charts even though you have no idea what his IQ actually is, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that a decades-old drunk-driving episode in George W. Bush's biography comes under the "people's right to know" doctrine while the entire past of Barack Obama is protected by his right to privacy, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that we can spend and borrow our way out of the recession in keeping with the thoroughly discredited Keynesian model, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that taxpayers don't change their behavior when the government tries to squeeze more tax money out of them, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that Americans are undertaxed, while carefully hiding your own money in offshore tax shelters, you are a liberal.
• If you believe, with Nancy Pelosi and Valerie Jarrett, that unemployment benefits are a boon to the economy (but without taking this brilliant insight to its logical conclusion: that the path to unprecedented prosperity lies through 100% unemployment), you are a liberal.
• If you believe that affirmative action improves the lot of poor minorities rather than miring them in perpetual misery and dependence, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty failed because not enough money (a trifling $16 trillion) was spent on it, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that God's middle name is Kennedy, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that Jimmy Carter, who has been working indefatigably over the last three decades to subvert his country's foreign policy, is the best ex-president ever, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that the Fox News Channel is the modern-day equivalent of Völkischer Beobachter and The New York Times a light unto the world, and whatever the Times publishes is God-given truth while whatever it deems unfit to print doesn't deserve to be known, you are a liberal.
• If you angrily castigate your compatriots for being profligate with their energy consumption while generously allowing yourself to use more than 20 times as much energy as a regular household (see Gore, Al), you are a liberal.
• If you believe that your choice of a car affects the planet's climate while sunspot activity doesn't, you are a liberal.
• If you are notoriously stingy with personal charitable giving but deliriously generous with other people's money while proudly posing as the true benefactor of the poor, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that human nature is infinitely malleable and that nurture easily trumps nature, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that your women's studies degree is superior to a Ph.D. in engineering, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that the anarchists, hoodlums, and hobos who make up the Occupy movement are noble idealists who truly represent the 99 percent of America while the Tea Partiers are Nazi troglodytes and of course racists, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that perjury is not a crime if it is about sex, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that Bill Clinton defended the Constitution as he repeatedly perjured himself, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that Hillary's rather primitive bribery scheme with cattle futures was so complicated as to be beyond human comprehension and thus ought to be shoved into the memory hole, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that Chuck Colson, who served seven months behind bars for procuring a single FBI file, got away with murder, but the Clintons, who demanded from the FBI some 900 files, were defenseless lambs relentlessly persecuted by cruel Republicans, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that the mountains of corpses and rivers of blood that have been the chief result of all communist "experiments" are merely collateral damage, a possibly regrettable but unavoidable byproduct of the high-minded attempts to build paradise on earth and thus nothing to talk about, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that Alger Hiss or Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were innocent victims of McCarthyism, you are a liberal.
• If, to reinforce your salon cred, you bedeck your infant in a T-shirt bearing the likeness of that murderous sadist, Che Guevara, you are a liberal.
• If you believe, against plentiful historical evidence to the contrary, that appeasement works and that America's unilateral disarmament will surely mollify enemies by demonstrating our peaceful intentions and shame them into following our example, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that negotiations are the be-all and end-all of international relations and that as long as our adversaries deign to talk to us, everything is fine and dandy, even if they clearly use the negotiations as a smokescreen to pursue their nefarious schemes unmolested, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that the Palestinians sincerely want an accommodation with Israel and that only the stiff-necked Jews' obduracy stands in the way of Middle East peaceful settlement, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that all cultures are equal but that Western culture is less equal than the others, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that a crucifix immersed in the "artist's" urine or a bucket of paint splashed onto a canvas is genuine art, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that a murderous hoodlum is not really guilty because he grew up in a tough neighborhood and that "judgmentalism" is really the only crime deserving of opprobrium, you are a liberal.
• If you reflexively sympathize with the criminal while scornfully ignoring the crime victim, you are a liberal.
• If you believe that Bill Maher is indeed politically incorrect and Warren Buffet is dying to pay more taxes, you are a liberal.
• If you love the "people" but despise the "populace," you are a liberal.
• If you believe that you and your ilk will be able to fool the American people indefinitely...well, you may have a point there.

Who's the Hater? Episode #1

I think I've finally had it! My Gay and pro-gay friends never shy away from calling me a homophobe or a hater because I follow a different set of values (That is to say, "Values" - as opposed to just following whatever impulse comes along). In looking back over the many people I know and have known, by far the most hateful, bigoted and fascist among them are of the LGBT (is that a sandwich?) "community".

The fact is, most homos I know are disgusting - not because of the behavior they may or may not exhibit in the privacy of their own relationships - because of the behavior they exhibit towards me and toward anyone that doesn't bow and scrape before them for fear of being called a bully, or a bigot, or a homophobe.

I don't care what kind of relationships people want to have. I don't care that 6% of the population wants the other 94% to bend over (hah) backwards for them so they can feel "Normal". If you want to be treated like everyone else, act like everyone else. Or, you can just muddle along like most of us enjoying the fruits of our labors and suffering the consequences for the choices we make.

Which brings me to the latest edition of "Who's the haters?" Today's episode Starring Dan Savage


Obama Admin Hooks Up With Gay Activist Who Created Santorum Google Bomb/

Dan Savage is one of the more repulsive columnists in America. He writes a sex advice column titled “Savage Love,” in which he describes in grotesque detail all sorts of fringe sexual practices.

He’s also a personally disgusting human being, at least according to his own accounts – in 2000, Savage signed on as a staffer on the Gary Bauer presidential campaign in Iowa, where, enraged by Bauer’s social conservatism, he began licking doorknobs in order to infect other staffers with his flu.

So now Savage has a new campaign. This one, you’ve likely heard of: the It Gets Better Project. It asks people to take a pledge: “Everyone deserves to be respected for who they are [except, obviously, religious conservatives and others who disagree with Dan Savage]. I pledge to spread this message to my friends, family and neighbors. I’ll speak up against hate and intolerance whenever I see it, at school and at work [but not against Republicans]. I’ll provide hope for lesbian, gay, bi, trans and other bullied teens by letting them know that ‘It Gets Better.’”

But that’s not the purpose of the It Gets Better campaign anyway. It’s not about bullying of gay kids, which everyone agrees is wrong and needs to stop (as bullying of all kids should). The purpose is to browbeat anyone who disagrees with same-sex marriage, or thinks that the gay agenda isn’t good for America. That’s why Savage, a bully if ever there was one, is heading up the project. And that’s why Obama and Co. are supporting it, even as the founder of the project continues to hold Rick Santorum’s name and reputation hostage.
