“It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just
that they know so many things that aren’t so.” -- Ronald Reagan
“You keep using that word, I do not think it means what
you think it means.” -- Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride
1) Being Open Minded: To a liberal, this has nothing at
all to do with seriously considering other people's ideas. To the contrary,
liberals define being "open-minded" as agreeing with them. What could
be more close-minded than assuming that not only are you right, but that you
don't even need to consider another viewpoint because anyone who disagrees must
be evil?
2) Racism: Liberals start with the presumption that only
white people who don't belong to the Democratic Party can be racist. So, for
example, even if Jeremiah Wright can make it clear that he hates white people
because of their skin color or if liberals take an explicitly racist political
position, like suggesting that black people are too stupid and incompetent to
get identification to vote, they can't be racist. White Republicans, on the
other hand, are generally assumed to be racist by default, no matter how much
evidence there is to the contrary.
3) Fairness: In all fairness, I must admit that fairness
is an arbitrary concept. So, you could make the argument that no one could get
"fairness" wrong. Still, liberals do because they don't make any
effort to actually "be fair." As a practical matter, liberals define
"fairness" as taking as much as possible from people who they don't
think are going to vote for them and giving it to people who may vote for them
in return for their ill gotten largesse. Certainly conservatives, libertarians,
and moderates might disagree about how much money to take from the wealthy to
redistribute to the poor or how to help the disadvantaged, but the only liberal
answer to the question, "How much is enough?" is "more."
4) Greed: To a liberal, believing that you pay too much
in taxes or even opposing paying more in taxes is greedy. In actuality, wanting
to loot as much money as possible that someone else has earned to use for your
own purposes, which is what liberals do, is a much better example of greed.
5) Hate: Liberals often define simple disagreement with
them on issues like gay marriage, tax rates, or abortion as hatred. No matter
how well a position is explained, or the logical underpinnings behind it, it's
chalked up to hate. Meanwhile, the angriest, most vicious, most hateful people
in all of politics are liberals railing against what they say is
"hatred." This irony is completely lost on the Left.
6) Investment: Actual investments involve putting money
or resources into a project in hopes that they will appreciate in value.
Liberals skip the second half of that equation. To them, an
"investment" is taking someone else's tax dollars and putting it into
a project that liberals approve of and whether a profit is made or lost is so
irrelevant that they typically don't even bother to measure the results.
7) Charity: Contributing your own money or time to a good
cause is charity. Liberals view themselves as charitable if they take someone
else's tax dollars and give it away to people they hope will vote for them in
return. At a minimum, they should at least credit the taxpayers who paid for
the money they gave away for the charity, although it's not really charity if
it's involuntary. Of course, there's nothing charitable about asking someone
else to sacrifice for your gain, which could actually be better described as
selfish.
8) Patriotism: Liberals love America the way a wife
beater loves his spouse. That's why they're always beating up the country
"for its own good." Doesn't the country understand that liberals have
to hit it in the mouth because they LOVE IT SO MUCH?!?!? Of course, the
conventional definition of patriotism, which is loving your country and wishing
it well, isn't one that liberals can wrap their heads around.
9) Tolerance: In a free, open, and pluralistic society,
there are all sorts of behaviors that we may have to tolerate, even though we
don't approve of those activities. Liberals don't get this distinction. For one
thing, they don't understand the difference between tolerance and acceptance.
They also don't extend any of the tolerance they're agitating for to people who
disagree with them. Liberals silence people who disagree with them at every
opportunity which is, dare we say it, an extremely intolerant way to behave.
10) Diversity: What liberals mean by
"diversity" is that they want a broad range of people from different
races, colors, and creeds who have identical political views. A black or
Hispanic conservative doesn't contribute to "diversity" in liberal
eyes because he actually has diverse views. Incredible role models for women
like Sarah Palin can't be feminists to liberals because she doesn't share the
same liberal beliefs as sexist pigs like Anthony Weiner and Bill Maher. How can
you have any meaningful "diversity" when everyone has to think the
same way?
