Recent events once again demonstrate that there is no
point arguing with liberals. Reason, facts, truth – these bourgeois concepts
mean nothing to the adherents of progressivism. You are never going to change
the mind of someone who believes in nothing except the imperative of his own
absolute power. You simply have to defeat him.
Progressivism is not a coherent ideology so much as a
purpose – to control every aspect of our lives. It is about consolidating
progressive power. Nothing else matters. That includes the truth.
This is why we see YouTube videos of Harry Reid, Joe
Biden and Barack Obama waxing eloquently, while in the minority, about the
moral necessity of the preserving the filibuster that they just shot through
the forehead when in the majority.
This is what led to an agreement ensuring that a power
that explicitly states its intention to reboot the Holocaust, once it finishes
hanging all its gays, will be able to create the means to do so.
This is the reason the President repeated dozens of times
that if you like your health plan and your doctor you can keep them even though
he knew this to be an outright lie.
Progressivism is not about principles but necessity.
Yesterday, the left needed the filibuster to bar conservative judges. Today, it
needs to pack courts with allies who will rule in whatever way progressives
need, so the filibuster goes.
Sure, progressives pose as friends of Jews and gays when
it’s convenient, but now it’s more convenient to get the Obamacare abomination
off the front page while simultaneously weakening America and Israel. For
progressives, that’s a win-win-win. And if some Jews and gays have to die,
well, uh … hey look! Republicans want to make you pay for your own birth
control!
Progressives needed to provide cover to their legislators
to socialize the health care system, so they simply lied. The only fault the
progressive-owned mainstream media can find with that is with us for being
stupid enough to believe what the liberals told us.
I agree. If you believe anything a liberal tells you, if
you imagine you can count on a liberal to hold to any particular principle when
that principle stops being useful as a means to accumulate power, you are a
fool.
Such people still get surprised when the pro-woman party
slut shames women who object to being used as sex toys by feminist heroes.
Teddy got drunk and left a woman to drown in his Oldsmobile after he drove off
a bridge on the way to a routine session of joyless, creepy Kennedy adultery.
Mary Jo Kopechne died; Teddy was hoisted on a sea of liberal shoulders and
hailed as the “Lion of the Senate.”
But Teddy arguably had the moral high ground compared to
liberal icon Robert Byrd, the Grand Imperial Cyclops Kleagle of the Senate.
Their degeneracy was irrelevant; they were both useful to progressivism.
Nothing else mattered.
Yet the squish caucus wing of the GOP still imagines that
it can make deals with the liberals, as if this time Lucy Reid is really,
truly, totally going to hold that football in place so that the Lindsey Browns
can kick it.
Look at these GOP mouth-breathers and their undying
fixation on amnesty. Obama won’t enforce the laws we have. In what universe
could any idiot be stupid enough to imagine that he might enforce any of the
laws that the GOP amnesty appeasers might get in exchange for their abject
capitulation?
You can’t negotiate with progressivism. You can’t reason
with it. You can’t compromise with it.
You have to destroy it, utterly, root and branch.
Understand that progressivism isn’t just another way of
looking at things. It isn’t an equally valid lifestyle that we should treat
with respect and courtesy. It is not an intellectual peer of conservatism.
Progressivism is the hapless Cousin Oliver of the
collectivist Brady Bunch. Whether you label it “progressivism,” “socialism,”
“communism” or “fascism,” it’s all just the same collectivist tyranny, varying
only by degrees of bloodshed and fashion choices. Differentiating them is like
choosing between herpes strains – it’s just a matter of the size of the
chancres.
We need to know our enemy and understand it, because when
we do we can destroy it.
Expect hypocrisy. Expect lies. Highlight them certainly, but
not for ourselves. We know that hypocrisy and lies are essential components of
progressivism. Do it instead for those who don’t yet understand. Do it for the
undecided in the battle for the soul of America.
It’s that mass of people who are not aware of just what a
sick power grab progressivism really is behind its false front of “caring” and
“social justice” that we need to reach. If their hearts and minds weren’t in
play, the progressives wouldn’t bother lying to them. They would enforce their
will with storm troopers.
We are still at the stage where the opinions and desires
of people who aren’t progressive still matter – the hypocrisy and lies are part
of the long-term process designed to change that forever.
We must continue to highlight this truth: Progressives
care about gays, women, blacks and other groups only to the extent that
appearing to do so brings short-term political advantage.
Does anyone think progressives wouldn’t abandon their
belief in their right to government-funded abortion at will if having that
belief stopped being useful? You could ask the gays in Iran about how pro-gay
progressives are when liberal leaders need to change the news cycle, except
they’ll be hard-pressed to answer with nooses around their necks.
Arguing with progressives is a waste of time because they
believe in nothing except that they should rule over us. Progressives don’t
seek justice. They seek power. Treat them accordingly.
